    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I haven't used Stirling's Bleu Man in a while. Great dupe!

This was a test shave. The razor is owned by u/VisceralWatch, and I'm tempted not to return it. Love the size of this razor. The 7/8 width provides just enough reach for me to get the kind of angles I can get with 8/8, and it has just a bit more maneuverability.

Anyway, ethics prevents me from keeping this razor, so I'll be returning it. Since this was a test shave, naturally, I made a video of honing it.
