Well, damn the torpedoes ....
In anticipation of the Dart’s arrival, I hadn’t shaved for several days. Since I can’t use my right arm right now, I went with no prep, Aveeno goo, a fresh Personna Red, and a single WTG pass with very minimal touchup. Much of my beard grows flat against the skin, so I NEVER just do WTG, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Was it the best shave ever? No, but damned good under adverse circumstances. The Dart was quite efficient at mowing the stubble down, even WTG. Despite my very poor left-handed DE technique, I only had two tiny weepers. There was plenty of feedback, but again, that was with no prep whatsoever, not even a splash of hot water first. I was shaving wire.
All-in-all, I’d call that a great success. I love the machined finish and compact head shape. The huge lather exits make rinsing a breeze. Grip and balance were great. I can’t wait to try a proper shave with it.
