It is always an "event" when i pull out the Dart, for me, he surely is my most aggressive razor, using good, mindful technique it can be used without issue.
Today a careful 2 pass shave has left me with a very close finish with a little indication from the splash, all in all a very good shave.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Awesome qualities from the cream! Super nice scent with a rich creamy and slick lather...love this!!
Another wonderful shave with this excellent blade paired with one of my top razors. Very smooth and efficient in 3passes for a bbs finish..and no issues! The matching aftershave was just great...smell so good!

Karve Overlander alu (on loan)
Treet Platinum (4)
Simpson Special best
Capra unscented
warm water
Vitos Tobbaco.

First impressions of the Overlander were very positive. The usual quality from Karve - this is a beautifully designed and manufactured razor. Blade alignment is not going to be an issue - it snaps in place and isn't going to move, ever. Weight-wise it's a bit goldilocks for me - not too light and not too heavy. The handle - despite being ugly as sin - is very grippy but a shade too long for me. Not the end of the world obviously. It shaves with an assurance all of its own - a beautiful 'crisp' sound as it cuts away. A degree of blade feel but not in an unpleasant way. I'm a fan of modern designs that result in a low profile head - easier under the nose. It delivered a very good result indeed - it coped with my problem areas with aplomb. Very close and mild - which is what you want in an everyday razor. The real test will be using it for a few days in a row. Thanks @Boycie83

Shave well all - yours - I.

Am afraid another former Club member and official has passed, so today needed to be smart and dressed up.
The guarded blade works so well in this Razor for me, even the most troublesome areas of stubble removed with ease.

Earlier today (Tues):

I think this blade is most likely spent, I probably could get at least another shave, but why have a rough one just for the sake of another!

The Apogee was a very apt random selection seeing as I am delving through spacecraft requirements much of the afternoon. This brush feels like a bit of a suction cup on the mush when lathering, it seems massive compared to the other brushes that I have.
