Blackland Tradere SB or OC?

nachum · 08-26-2020, 03:05 AM

I thinking of ordering one and can't decide between the two plates. I usually prefer SB but don't want it to be too mild. Thoughts?
Also, does anyone know if there is still a wait time to have these delivered or are they in stock?
Thanks!

From what I've read, the SB wouldn't exactly qualify as "mild." I can't remember the exact comparisons, but it was at least CG Level 2 I believe. The OC is supposed to be another level more aggressive.

Pre-orders are out the door and new orders are shipping immediately!

Congrats Gents. On my initial shave, I feel as though the Blackland Tradere is similar and in the same ballpark as the CG L2 but, the Tradere exhibits noticeably less blade feel while feeling much smoother than the CG L2. Yet the end results are quite close.

I made a pre-order. What was the point of pre-ordering?

I would guess to ensure that you get a razor. Unless you have a crystal ball, there was no way to know whether the pre-orders would sell out or not, potentially leaving you with no ability to order one once they were ready.

Google fails me.
What is "cg"? (other than "U.S. Coast Guard Intelligence", or "General-Purpose Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Diffractometer CG-2 instrument")
Is it a typo for "GC" (Game Changer)?
