2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a travel shave but it really doesn't matter. The edge on this Bismarck is astounding! I was really surprised by the closeness and comfort of this shave.
Funny how the Bismarck want from bottom to top tier 🙂 I'll have to revisit mine, too.
BTW, I haven't seen the Facharbeit in a while. Do you still enjoy it?
I do! I haven't used it this month because I haven't refreshed its edge. I want to try to get my Parker razor on the Ozuku Mizu Asagi tonight for tomorrow's shave, and for the 30^th^, I want to use the Fili 14 again because in October I'll be using a Nacet for as long as I can stand it to have some data to use when I analyze @sgrdddy's 530+ Nacet blade.
That's dangerous talk! Before you know it you'll have pulled a @sgrdddy, it's 2025, and you've logged 530 shave on it
