    A nice and easy 2 pass shave this evening. Didn't bother chasing the baby or anything like that. Ended up with a nice clean and comfortable shave, and I'm happy with that! Going to go back to one of my injectors tomorrow. Need to use a Personna blade to finishing so that I can get a Schick Proline in there!

    Me too! I'm not one to push a blade. It will get swapped at the first hint of degradation.

    No shave for me today. Yesterday's was close enough and late enough that there didn't seem a point to it this morning.

    Had the day off today with my wife and spent it doing some shopping and running errands. I shaved last night before bed. This was the first comparison between the Ikon Tech and the Blackland Dart. First of all, with a blade loaded in the tech you can see a rather large blade gap and visually you can see that the edge of the blade extends well past the "safety bar", a very menacing looking razor. I started with the Tech in the left side of my face. Even though I was trying to use a very shallow angle I could still feel the edge of blade very clearly and also the corners of the blade. On top of that there was a sensation that the blade was gripping the whiskers before cutting them and that the razor was shipping over my face, not a very comfortable shave from the Ikon. The Dart side was much more comfortable, controlled aggression. I only did two passes because the shave was so uncomfortable with the tech. Next shave I will switch out the blades and see if that makes any difference with the Tech. I do feel that the shave was closer with the Dart, but that may be because I'm more familiar with it. Have a great evening my friends.

    Nice haul Adam! I know who you got that Island Man from and can tell you that it originally came from me! Great picture of Juliet!

    Great comparison, Andrew. I'm curious to see if you can tame the Ikon.
    Thank you!

    I easily get 7 from the Feather Pro. I’ve gotten as high as 14 from a Super Pro.
