Dart-Vib'raz/BIC. I experimented with alternative plates for the Vib'Raz cap, finding the Merkur and Razorock plates while closely matching the geometry of the stock plate with the addition of an open comb, were still very mild and didn't improve anything. I did a pass with the Perfector plate, which does add a more aggressive aspect to the shave, finally landing on the Dart for a clean-up pass. Interestingly the Dart-Vib'Raz feels like it holds the blade more rigidly than the stock Dart without giving up either comfort or efficiency. Full shave with this combination tomorrow.

Fast , nice and smooth.

Wow wow wow. Full beard and head shave with the Dart-Vib'Raz/BIC. The additional exposure with the Dart plate doesn't compromise shave comfort a wit. It does get me to a two+ pass BBS I associate strictly with my injector or SE razors and the twin blade Shake Sharp. Although you can shave well without fully engaging the rollers, when engaged you can still apply pressure that maintains consistent skin contact. Just extraordinary.

The picture taken from the side of the head immediately reminds me of a, a bit disappointed, broad-mouthed frog!

Nice that this combination is working this good!
