On the razors edge with Galaktus

Laz, nice ! I had the Dart and found it too aggressive. People's opinions are all over the map on the Dart and Blackbird as to which is more aggressive. Have you used the Dart and what are your thoughts ?

No Dave, I haven't used the Dart, I don't have one. The Blackbird gave me some rough shaves at first, not sure why. I then tried riding the safety bar, and that didn't help. Now I ride the cap and it has gotten much much better.
If I was a single man, I would probably have one of everything Blackland makes, but I have a wife, so there's that, lol.
 
Some things just work, Arko being one example.

Even though it's only been about 13 hours since my last shave, it was still close, comfortable and irritation free.

Another nice close smooth shave on the books.
7 days from the Voskhod blade, time to rotate razors. I'm thinking of switching up my rotation of razors, instead of a week at time with the same blade, I might load a fresh blade into each of my 3 main razors and do a daily rotation. Just something different, I guess.

Trying out a different razor every day. Loaded up my Weber, Game Changer 84 OC and Blackbird all with a fresh Bic Chrome Platinum this morning. Started with the Weber. Great shave, put the razor to your face and shave. No fiddling with steep or shallow angles, it just works and works well. Tomorrow a different razor. Finished up with Lustray Blue Spice. This is an aftershave I can take or leave, kind of like a very weak Aqua Velva scent to me, and disappears very quickly. It was a blind buy, but since I like Lustray Spice, I figured I'd give it a try. I don't dislike it, it's just "meh" for me. I reckon I can use it for when I shave and stay at home, for no special occasions.
