Hopefully next month. We will have 85mm and 101mm handles available.
Thanks, that's great news, i was hoping for them to be available soon.

Personally, I find the Blackbird just as good, if not a bit better, than the Timeless, regarding your question. I had the Timeless .95 SB, OC Scallop, but I much prefer the Blackbird as it works much better, for me. Shane also offers a 30-day guarantee if you don't get on with it.

The BB is .58 IIRC, but the design enhances the gap I guess. It is a really good shaver. I also have the Timeless in .95, and it is really good too, but oddly enough the .68 Timeless didn't do it for me, and I sold it. The .58 Blackbird is equal to the .95 Timeless AFAIC.

Without other metrics, gap is useless info.
First shave ever with the Blackland Blackbird today. Wow!
I had not shaved for a week so had a lot of hair to get through, the Blackbird effortlessly removed it all in one pass.
Very intuitive to find the right angle, no cuts or irritation. Super high quality machining, love the handle!
I can't wait to use it again, thanks Blackland Razors!
