This Gen 1 Fili 14 DT just showed up yesterday. I gave it a quick polish and honed it up. It still has minor cosmetic issues, but nothing that will affect performance. This was my first time with a Fili and also my first time with an 8/8 thin grind. It felt wonderful. Light and soft as silk. A couple more test shaves to make sure it's solid, and I will revist the edge again.

My post shave was a little louder than usual, but I don't think I loaded enough into my brush. I attribute the spicyness of the splash to trying to get lather out of my brush that it didn't have. All in all a super close and nice shave, no nicks or irritation.

Assuming this stays in my rotation, it will make number 7. I also have 7 sets of Mammoth. Hmmmm... I may go a full week with a different razor and mammoth set.

What are the seven straights and the seven Mammoth scents?
