    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I almost forgot to post this shave, which celebrated another Black Watch Wednesday. Thoroughly enjoyable. I continue to maintain that the EdT is the chef's kiss in this setup.

This Koraat razor is a really a Koraat 14-2.0 that is scaled down to Koraat 13-2.0 size; a modern-day Filarmonica 13 Doble Temple. Unlike yesterday's Red Imp, this razor has a Nakayama Maruka Jnat edge produced with my "September" process. I love the feel of this for both Jnat and synthetic edges. I need to see if I can bring a coticule edge to this level.

That Gulf Short is a great looking brush!

Thanks! I've always loved the Gulf racing colors. A very unique color combination.
