    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

  This was the third attempt at an edge on this Geneva Cutlery razor. This was the first time that this razor has provided a great 2-pass shave; as it should with a fresh Jnat edge. My assumption is that the steel’s temper was compromised at the edge and the repeated honing of the razor is removing poor steel and revealing good steel. Microscope analysis showed that edge wear was minimal which is exactly what I would expect for one shave. The previous two edges have shown too much wear for one, 2-pass shave.

  Shitty picture taken in a big hurry today, but a good shave. Antiga Barberia de Bairro makes good cream and Cologne Russe is great

  I don’t remember which razor the second one was, but I sure was yummy.

    I’m definitely surprised to see Stirling and BaM decided due to the tiebreaker yesterday. It seems the TSF focus has really peeled some folks off of some of the more well known brands.

    Definitely more chaos!
