Last two shaves...
/ Yaqi Deep Stones | Boti Lightning
/ Maggards Mango Sage Tea | DG 88 Chestnut Street
/ Blackland Dart
/ Personna Super (2) | Gillette Platinum (1)
/ The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA
/ Nivea Skin & Stubble

I've got mixed feelings about the Dart. It's a beautiful razor with efficiency that's up my alley but that narrow sweet spot makes shaving just a bit of an effort otherwise it's all blade feel. The Blackbird is feels mild in comparison.

I did find using a GIllette Rubie Platinum blade tamed the harshness but due to the hit or miss shaves I moved the Dart on and prefer the Blackbird as equally as efficient without the insane blade feel.
