3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was my second shave in my 14 Shoot-out series and the first time I have tried an Escher edge on a 14-style razor. The result was exceptional. I was able to get a very comfortable, extremely keen edge from the Escher stone which some say produces an edge that is less keen than is produced from something like a Jnat. Obviously, each stone is different, and this particular stone has no issues reaching Jnat levels of refinement. Great shave today.
