A more confident shave today with the Dart, using the steeper angle recommended by other users of this razor. This is a really handsome razor and i am glad i have persevered with it.
Today was my 1st use of a Polsilver blade and i am not too sure about it, although it did seem to start to smooth out towards the end of the shave. I have palm stropped the blade for the next shave, i believe this is supposed to smooth out the edge a little.
A very nice lather and 2 Passes WTG, XTG with some ATG buffing leaving me BBS, Nothing from the block. A nice post shave skin feeling after a massage with the Barts Balm Lotion and Balm, finishing with the 1912 Citrus Musk.
A very happy shaver this morning.
I am ready for my day starting with a walk in the Park with the dogs, a visit with the Mothership then take the Darlin' out for her Lunch.
Have a great Sunday All
