Blackland Blackbird. Good news and bad.

I've been shaving with the Blackbird for about two months. I've been shaving with DE razors for about twenty years, give or take, and with straight edge razors for about four years. 

The Blackland SB has impelled me to put away my other razors, including the Wolfman, the Timeless, the ATTs, etc. They'll come back, I love them, but man, the BB gives me the smoothest, closest shave I've ever had. The OC version is less comfortable for me and I tend to get a few weepers with it, but very tiny weepers. I now use the OC only when I haven't shaved for three or four days and am in the mood. 

I want to give Shane credit for making great products and providing great customer service. 

This by no means is meant to suggest that anyone else's face will have the same response. 

Now for the bad news. I feel no compulsion to buy any other razor, not even the very sleek Tradere.

Shane is the best in the business. Aji at H&S is great as well, but Blackland has been around quite awhile now and Shane is always easy to get ahold of, answers all questions, provides a steady supply of his products and always delivers on his promises.

No. Here’s the bad news: There is no cure for RAD.

LOVE my Vector and is my SE Killer.........Tried the Dart and didn't care for the beast. Maybe I need to try the Blackbird.........

The Blackbird is a fantastic razor. One of my favorite DE razors. (I also have the OC plate and agree it is a tad on the harsh side). I also had the Dart and did not like it. I liked the Vector but felt it as a tad too mild for me and became annoyed each time I had to remove the blade from the cap. The slim head of the Vector is quite nice but I wish it was a bit more efficient for me. I also tried the Sabre. That didn’t really work for me either. All of the foregoing being said, Shane is a great guy to deal with; he makes high quality razors and reasonable prices; and he does respond to emails.
