    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I'm just under 450 straight razor shaves since July 2022. You would think that I'd have figured it out by now, but in the last two to three weeks I seem to have found another level. It's a little like learning what xyzzy does in the Colossal Cave. Fascinating.
