  • Brush: Wald Stratos Goldvein 29mm A1 Fan

  • Razor: Filarmonica 14 Doble Temple Gen 2

  • Lather: Ethos Grooming Essentials - Dragonsbeard - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner

  • Aftershave: Ethos Grooming Essentials - Dragonsbeard Skin Food - Splash

  • Fragrance: Floris of London - Santal - Eau de Toilette

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was another test shave of the seafoam green Gen 2 Fili 14. Today's shave occurred a full 24 hours after the last one, whereas the last test shave was closer to 19 hours from its predecessor. I thought this would be a better test for comparison with my own Fili 14. But I got the same result as yesterday. This one is just excellent. I'll probably shave with my own Fili tomorrow to see if I can tell any difference.

Great shave today! As close as I get with a 2-pass shave, and very comfortable.

The Fili 14 does make me wonder why I own other razors :)
