2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Obviously, it is the answer to "life, the universe, and everything".
The Red Imp needs and edge refresh.

This is another LPL soap I bought, and never used so far. This one is really good stuff: slightly spicy, well balanced, woody, with a very slight hint of Orange. I wouldn't have imagined it this way. I am rather indifferent to the Oud-Sandalwood soap (which I would have thought I would love), but this one comforts me in my assessment that Le Père Lucien is one of the most capable perfumers (in a very classical way) in wetshaving.
Have a good evening.
Happy Friday!

Great shave with this new-to-me frameback! What an interesting razor. Honing it was a lot different than what I'm used to, but I seem to have pulled it off without a hitch. I just used light rolling strokes. The @gcgallant@wethshav.ing packing peanut method help a lot in discovering one stubborn spot that needed more work.
I measured the spine width and blade height, plugged it into the SDS, and it tells me the angle is a whopping 20.8 degrees. Well over the 16-19 degree standard. Despite that, it shaved like a dream. Super close and comfortable. I could sort of tell that yeah, maybe not as sharp as other razors, but it still cut with ease and my initial thoughts are that it adds to the comfort having a larger angle. Slightly more skin friendly. Time will tell.

The BaM Sandalwood is deep and rich, with a lot of character to it. Perfect for a fall evening shave.
