2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


So comfortable and so close! This was another edge refresh in keeping with my self-imposed rules for the month. The Parker had a synthetic shave-ready edge and I changed it to a Jnat edge using the Ozuku Mizu Asagi I've had for years. Straightember has been very good to me and because I need 5 more uses of 70^th^ Anniversary, I'm extending September for 5 days so it can be truly be Settantisemo Straightember. So, tomorrow I need a new razor or a razor with a refreshed edge. I haven't done a synthetic edge for a while. That should be interesting!

Enjoy your weekend!
