    3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    This was my first shave with the Koraat 14-2.0. I ordered it in March and it was completed in late July. US Customs decided it would be fun to keep the box for over 3 weeks and I finally received it in late August during Days of Weckoning. This is the second Koraat razor that I have ordered. As a knife guy, I like the idea of ordering a straight razor from a company called Koraat Knives. Ulrik, the proprietor, is terrific to work with and the quality of his work is exceptional.

    How did it shave? Even better than it looks! [Well, I think it looks amazing.] This model is Ulrik’s take on a Filarmonica 14 - a V2.0. It has everything the Fili 14 has with a significant bump up in craftsmanship. I have a Gen 1 Fili 14 too. As @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social has pointed out, these “14” style razors (8/8" - full hollow - great steel) stand apart from everything else. You won’t be seeing this baby on the 'zaar!

    Enjoy your Sunday!
