    Well from the land of mild in the AS-D2 to wild in the Blackland Dart. Both stainless steel beauties to behold but at either end of the shave scale when it comes to “aggression”. Yes, we all have opinions on this topic and this is my opinion...the AS-D2 is mild and comfortable the Dart is not so much. Technique calms this beast as does blade choice and you will be rewarded with a super, super close shave. You will however be quite aware of your shave especially if you lose focus.

    Wanted to try something different today and reached for the minty goodness of Sapone di Paolo Menta. All spearmint goodness with a touch of menthol in there. Now known as “eleven” the soap is wonderful and the scent strong. Wish I had a few more of these.

    Got through three lovely, leisurely passes and was indeed rewarded with a BBS finish. The dolphins scream alright but it’s in submission! I love this razor and it is beautifully made but it is a beast. I am thankful I honed my technique with a Muhle R41 before getting this one. Enjoy your shaves! Stay safe!

    Gillette: Super Speed Black tip (X3) 1952.
    Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (4)
    Brush: Oscar 11 Blue and Clear handle w/ Omega Professional 10049 Boar
    Soap: Reef Point Admiralty
    Aftershave: Floid Blue
    Bowl: Junichi Tanaka Astisaral Pedestal

    Good afternoon fellow shavers. Today unlike any other I shaved with the same equipment. If that makes sense I'm sorry. I'm not going to use the Oscar 11 Blue and Clear handle w/ Omega Professional 10049 Boar brush next shave. I am broken hearted! :sad024:I love this brush. You will be happy to know that I have another work of art from Oscar 11.
    Todays shave was nothing short of amazing. All equipment work well together. I still really enjoy the Reef Point Admiralty soap.
    This is actually my 4th shave with this blade. I went back and changed my last shave to 3. Xin loi.
