Blackland Blackbird Titanium Finally!

My SS (Stainless Steel) OC Plate works really well ....

Waiting for the Yates Ti which hopefully will be released soon. Its made by Jack in house not by a third party vendor.

Great, but why post that here? Just to take a jab at Shane for not having his own machine shop? Did I miss the posts comparing the BBTi (subject of thread) and the Yates?

Post seems out of place a bit. I dont get the point, unless it was to throw shade at Blackland.

Not at all. I have bought many Blackland razors including the titanium Blackbird. Shane is a cleaver businessman just trying to make a living like other vendors. It wouldn't surprise me if the ERA is released soon now that the titanium razors are sold out. Shane stated it would be a long time until another ti release.

I think there is a lot of confusion about how and where products are made, which is fair. Era production has nothing to do with the production of any of our other razors and their releases are not impacted by each other. It’s not like we stop the titanium to make the Era. Completely separate production cycles. They’re both going full steam at the same time along with the production of several other products. I think a lot of this confusion around “focus” does stem from the concept of small in-house production where companies literally have to switch between running different products. We don’t have to do that. I can green light production of thousands of units of different products all at the same time.

Yes, a little strange to pit Blackland against Yates. Jake and I are friends and support one another. I’m glad you’re buying his razor!

Razor: Blackland Blackbird Ti
Blade: Wizamet (4)
Brush: Trotter Scoville/AP Synbad
Soap: Current 1508.5 - Baron's Choice
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Ethos Dragonsbeard
Fragrance: Ethos Dragonsbeard
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 951

1st shave in and I am considering going dark and disappearing with Patriot Pete's Ti Blackbird he loaned me......................that is all for now.....

I haven't used another razor since I got my Ti BB. Effortless BBS every time, but the biggest thing for me is how good my skin feels after. No redness, irritation, and probably the least aftershave burn of any razor I've used. Typically really efficient razors will leave me fairly red and with a good alcohol sting, but this does nothing of the sort. Really puzzling how it can be so efficient, but relatively gentle at the same time. It makes it hard to pick up anything else.

Taking nothing away from the Blackbird…
Some of that BBS shaving has to be the blade.
Have you used the same brand of blade consistently?
What blade works for you and your BBTi?

I only use Personna Lab Blues. I started using them probably seven years ago and they go in everything. They just always work well for me and no wax dots.

Are those the ones that come with the BB? I think I have a pack from my brass 101, but haven’t used them. Permasharps work well for me in the brassbird
