A successful two pass shave, though I have to admit what started out feeling like a smooth shave...didn't feel so smooth by the end. I had a couple of weepers that gave up the fight with a cold water rinse. I don't have enough experience to know if it is the blade, the FW razor and/or my technique that's the problem. The FW is becoming my arch nemesis. I'm thinking the next time I start a new SS PTFE blade that I need to do a full week of daily shaves with the FW and figure it out.

Planning to do two pass shaves daily to see how many uses I can get out of the Treet carbon blade. I think it would be considered a success if I can get five or more uses. Time well tell!
