2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.
This penultimate AA shave was extremely comfortable and between DFS and BBS in closeness. I wanted to see what result I could get with my ““typical”” 2-pass shave to assess wear on the edge. As I have been experiencing, it has lost keenness.
I stropped after this shave so that on the last shave of the month I can wrap up my stropping experiment by trying a stropped, worn, edge and comparing it to an unstropped one.
