3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I had a very close and comfortable shave with this Filarmónica 14 and its Black Shadow edge. This was the fifth edge I’ve tried in my 14 Shoot-out series. While the entire shaving experience was completely enjoyable, I could not detect anything about the edge that would let me know that it was created on a Black Shadow. I can tell that it is not one of the other types of edges I use more frequently. It might be interesting to compare this one with an Escher edge.
