Each of the Dart's three pieces is CNC machined from solid stainless steel right here in the USA by the same family-run machine shop we've partnered with on every single razor we've ever sold. After machining, each Dart Base Plate and Stand receives a matching unique serial number engraving. Finally, multiple rounds of quality control both by our machinists and internally here at Blackland HQ ensure that your razor looks and shaves the way it's meant to.

Machined Finish

Because we're so proud of the machining that goes into our razors, our machined finish flaunts the tool marks and patterns left behind in the razor by the CNC machines rather than removing or covering them. We believe that each and every mark cut into the steel tells the story of the Dart and the craftspeople who made it. To make sure it's beautiful, we painstakingly program the CNC machine path to ensure that a beautiful and consistent finish is left behind.

Polished Finish

For those who prefer a more classic finish, we offer our polished finish. We polish our razors by hand in-house at Blackland HQ using a multistage process to remove the machining marks and bring out a mirrorlike finish. Stainless steel's properties allow us to achieve an extremely reflective polish which surpasses the level of polish that can be achieved on other metals.

The Dart is an efficient razor with positive blade exposure, moderate blade feel, and a versatile range of shaving angles. When used with a shallow shaving angle (top cap on the skin), blade engagement is increased resulting in a more efficient shave. Using the safety razor as a pivot point allows for a milder shave by using a steeper shaving angle as this pulls the blade away from the skin. This versatility makes the Dart uniquely adaptable to most shaving styles and preferences.
