2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Back home from a quick trip, and a great shave with my Fili 14. Almost as good as my shaves with the Dovo Bismarck … OK, I'm kidding about that. The Fili 14 does stand alone, especially with this refreshed Jnat edge, but the Bismarck has surprisingly similar feel and closeness.

If you're thinking about trying Saponificio Varesino 70^th^ Anniversary, don't. I'm convinced it is addictive. I'm on the home stretch towards 70 shaves on this tub and today the ring of death poked through. There could be another 40 shaves yet, and I seriously considered killing the tub before moving on.

You better do that! You really don't want to fall it into the hands of some innocent guy who doesn't know what's going on 😂
