Wow what a shave, the Blackland Dart is for me as near perfect as it going to get, I stuck with my favourite blade because it seems to work in anything, the Polsilver out of the Lodz factory in Poland.
Now NOS but can still be bought from a supplier,..
If I had to discribe the dart I would say it was a grown up R41, its ultra efficient and you could do a one pass shave and out the door. I love it, tomorrow I'm sticking my Sabre handle on the Dart head.
The brush had its first proper use today and I'm most impressed with it and it will get better with use, a dense knot with loads of backbone and tips that will get softer over time.
after my perfect close and comfortable shave I did my useal post shave routine followed by a few sprays of Leather Oud a perfectly good way to finnish a wonderful shave.
Wishing you all a very day....P.View attachment 37334. @Blackmass
Firstly thanks for the tag Paul.
I knew you'd love the Dart. I'll be using the Dart again later. I'll try a Polsilver in it too.
Good news (and a sense of relief on my behalf if I'm being totally honest) you like the brush. It does loosen up a little but not much. It's the densest brush I own but it still has great flow through. There is a little scritch, which hasn't lessened over time.
Cheers
