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!
This razor is painfully beautiful, Ulrik really did a fantastic job there! And I’m glad to hear it shaves well, too!
Thank you. We spent time on the specs. You never really know, though, until the physical item is in hand.
