2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a test shave that compared an edge from an Escher stone to an edge from a Vermont Mottled Grey stone. The Escher edge was on the F. W. Engels razor, and the Vermont edge was on the Genco razor. The cutting performance of the two razors seemed identical and the face feel of the two edges was very close. I thought that the Escher edge felt a tiny bit softer.
