3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Excellent shave for my first “14 Shoot-out”. This razor has an Olympus edge on it that I created during this video. The idea behind my “Shoot-out” series is to put different edges on razors that all have the same bevel geometry and see what I think about the differences that I encounter with them.
With this Olympus edge, I mistook comfort for lack of keenness on the first pass. I did not realize that the edge was cutting as well as it was. This became very evident on the second and third passes. Overall, a great experience from my initial shoot-out attempt.
