Dart CRS Sim CH2.jpg

Back to BBS again, The Dart is the most efficient DE I have, the blade feel is there always and I have to be mindful when shaving with it, I will persevere as I really like the feel in the hand and the weight of it, fitted with a Voskhod it performed very well today even though the blade "went" dull on 1 side halfway through the shave, I managed to complete the 3 passes using the good side? In the blade bank it went, I have used it for tidying up when using my clones so 3.5 - 4 shaves is good for a Voskhod.
The CRS performance is really good, I may run a second week with it?
A change in the post shave today, well, a bit variety never hurt anyone.
Nothing from the Block and I brought out the Floïd Balm and AS to finish and very nice it is too.
So - BBS and a nice post shave feeling , face soft and supple and glowing in the Floïd SE MV.
Have a great afternoon All

Prep : warm water
Razor : Wilkinson Sword Classic plastic
Brush : Prosaro (Omega) boar
Blade : Derby Premium
Soap : De Vergulde Hand extra fris
Bowl : Just a bowl
Alum : De Vergulde Hand
After shave : Denim classic

Today my blades arrived :
100 Astra Superior Platinum
30 Gillette Rubie Plus
5 Derby premium

The Derby's were new to me so I used them today
At first shave they seem more smooth then the Derby Extra (green), they are the 1st or 2nd shave a bit rough.
1 shave is no shave, so I don't make a verdict yet, I want to see how they work out over a longer period.
