Fifteenth excellent shave on a straight that has not been stropped. I’m in uncharted waters. With straights that I strop after every shave, I know I can get about 30 shaves before a refresh, but I generally do an edge refresh after about 10 shaves.
Really different projects. Nobody but @sgrdddy will suffer 5 passes for a workplace acceptable shave for 575+ shaves. Str8_Razor and I are getting the same performance from Frio 14s that haven’t been stropped in 15 shaves.

I have no idea what’s going on with this setup.
What’s better - your Friodur or @sgrdddy’s nacet? We deserve to know!
