To finish off the Blackland week i decided to give the Dart Another run out, am i mad?
Anyway, the soap used was the Vitos Extra Super which was kindly gifted by Arthur
@Electrif when i adopted his Rocnel SE a while back (i will have to dig it out, its not seen soap or chin for a while) Thanks Arthur.
The soap works really well and i decided on a face lather with the Jayaruh #355, a bit more control of lather slickness for today's job.
The Plan was, 2 passes as per yesterdays shave, no ATG.
The WTG & XTG passes went without issue and as the brush had plenty of lather i completed some minor touch up of the stubborn area around the chin - Success. No nicks or cuts.
The angle i used was quite shallow and i managed to maintain it at a constant.
Some minor indications from the block that did not last too long. A nice Barts Balm massage and then a splash of 4711 giving a little sting.
Very happy BBS shaver. feeling and smelling good.
I have enjoyed this week with the Blacklands, the SE versions are a much easier Razor for me to use giving fantastic results every time.
The Blackbird i am very happy with although i think the OC base plate may have only been issued to survivalist's and real mountain men in case they have to shave a Grizzly Bear they are friends with!
The Dart behaved himself today and the shave was very involving, which i like.
Today i feel like the Kwisatz

Enjoy your day All
