The Blackland Osprey with mixed reviews.
You say this like it was a bad thing.... I'd say from what I've read, it had one of the most popular releases in recent history. Did it have some hiccups, sure but not like some of the recent releases from other Mfg's in the last year!!

Yes. I do have that razor. My first shave was great, second shave was questionable, third shave was good. We will see when on the fourth shave.

I always liked the Rocnel Sailor and the Tatara Muramassa.  I just prefer a non adjustables for their lower profile heads at this point.  

At least you have a month with Blackland to decide if it’s a keeper.

That Osprey does look sweet and might become my first adjustable. Curious if they're already considered in a MkII to rectify some of the issues folks have flagged, mainly the hard-to-read setting numbers.

Yes, they’ve made an option to purchase to add Hi-Vis Black Engraving for their numbers. I also believe they’ve increased the font size.

I've been scaled. I'm smooth now.

I picked up a (lightly) used Pearl Flexi a few weeks ago.  To say I'm impressed is a gross understatement.  Great razor ... both smooth and close at the same time.
