2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I’m enjoying rediscovering Black Watch. Wonderful scent, and I enjoy the Highland base which I think has its own character. I appreciate the effort these artisans make because I suspect it is difficult to do.
I haven’t used the Évidé Sonnant in a while. It gave me a comfortable and close shave. I don’t get much ringing from this one but it was convex honed by the seller, then honed by me on flat stones so, perhaps, the singing part of the edge is gone.

That seems a bit quick for getting through the belly of that blade. Was it singing more when you got it?

No, it has never been a singing blade which is quite weird considering its name.

It might be a marketing nothing burger, then?
