Gentlemen I am beginning a new edge longevity test, this time with. Filly 14 DT. I got 50 good shaves out of a Cape 1000 Swedish Steel, hard steel. The Filly is a bit less hard, so it might seem that it wouldn’t hold an edge as well, but it will also respond to stropping more than harder steel - I think. I am 6 shaves in today. When you do these kinds of long term tests, you’re limiting the variety in your everday shaves, but I’m willing to take the hit of shaving with a Filly 14 for an extended period, for TSD of course, lol.

When I did the tests with the Cape, I used a 3-piece Kanoyama 80000, suede and leather 35/65 and added 20 canvas every week to help maintain the edge. This time I’m going 5-6 canvas every day then 35/65 as before.

Today was a Filly 14 user grade which shaves very well indeed. Cream was XPEC and the brush a Simpsons 57. D. R. Harris Pink topped the shave off.

Cheers, Steve
