Taking onboard some sage advice, the soaps "crescent of death" was moved to a "blob of beauty" in the centre of the dish to make it easier to load, yes, i can confirm this is what happed.
A very nice shave with the super efficient Dart again. 2 passes with some touch up on the more stubborn areas for a surprisingly comfortable BBS finish.
Enjoy your day all.

Razor used as part of a passaround.

Finish of the razor is superb. Balance feels a little head heavy but not unduly so. Didn't feel as heavy in the hand as I was expecting.

Started at setting 4. Very smooth. WTG took down my stubble nicely. Up to setting 5. Again no issues. Nicked myself next to upper lip but think that was my fault. ATG dropped it to setting 3 and it worked well and left me BBS with no irritation. Only thing I found difficult was shaving under nose right at the top. Had to get another razor to do that very small area.

Handle was grippy and no issues with it slipping. Adjustment during shaving was easy. The razor didn't self adjust whilst in use.

Wednesday August Twentieth, Twenty Twenty-Five's Shave Of The Day was good...

PreShave: nothing
Lather Gear: Yaqi 24mm Synthetic Mountain Lake Brush whipped 345 Soap Co. in a Captain's Choice Copper Aquamarine Bowl.
Razor&Blade: 1974 Gillette Super Adjustable #84 loaded with a ASTRA Superior Platinum(1) 2.5 buffs WTG(3) ATG(1) XTG(1) for trouble spots.
AfterShave Gear: Omega Alum Stick then Stirling Deep Blue Sea Post Shave Balm.

I dipped the Yaqi too deep in the water and the lather was too bubbly and disappeared from my face. There was slickness but i had to touch up the lather around my mouth and throat, my trouble spots...

This was the 4th shave of the ASP and i know it can shave more but it's taking more buffs to get to a smooth shave and i will load in a new ASP...

Have good SOTDs and rest of the week ATGSers...
