I can’t wait to get my hands on the Dart if it’s even more efficient.
Shut up and take my money!
Shane, can we get an option to purchase a stand with the Dart?

We’ll roll out a stand at a later date Smile.

What you actually missed to roll out is creativity with naming the razor... F instead of D would of made huge statement! Big Grin

Not yet. Rest assured I’ll post them everywhere once I have the final handles. It’s taken much longer than expected, but I should have them soon.

Here’s something I posted on our local FB group

[Image: f51725bb9a659d9a42ac893638be6199.jpg]

SOTD

prorasso Red preshave
Elite 26mm 2 band Manchurian
Grooming Dept Kulfi
Blackland DART w/ Astra SP
CL YRP AS Splash

So the focus of this shave was this new razor, and in addition to general thoughts, was to compare it to the flagship DE, the Blackbird.

First off, apparently I am in the minority when I will say, without a doubt that the blackbird is the smoother shaver for me. Like I mentioned the blackbird, if it’s not #1 in my den, it’s #1a. I find it remarkably efficient without being harsh. A wonderfully designed razor with fantastic auditory feedback.

The dart shares the efficiency, and maybe even then some, but lacks the same smoothness that I get with the blackbird. I tried a couple different blades in the dart and a change in blades made all the difference in the world. My first was my go-to, a pol silver. This made for a bit of a harsh shave for me. After a couple attempts I switched to the Astra SP and it was like night and day. The shave this morning was wonderful. 2 passes of smooth efficiency with a lovely end result.

The razor is not overly finicky as far as angle, but certainly has a sweet spot to me. All in all this razor is a FANTASTIC razor, especially at this price point. If you found the game changer too mild, or prefer more aggressive shavers, this is a no brainer. Thanks again to Shane for getting me a longer look at this razor. Nice work!

The polished finish will not be available upon launch. I want to get the Dart out as quickly as possible rather than wait a few more weeks to have them polished. We'll get to work on the polished finish once we have the razors in hand and we'll have that finish available as soon as we can.

Soon enough so us Canadians don’t get hit with 25% taxes ?

Looks like a great razor at any price point! You should do very well with this one Shane!
