What do you think of the blackbird so far?

Should've gotten the Blackbird years ago, before, the Karve CB Brass and Stainless Steel.

It's OK to like more than one razor Speedster. A lot of shavers do.

I would've chosen the Blackbird instead of my Karve in the first place.

I know exactly how you feel and glad you love it.. trust me when I say try a Feather and BIC in it, Nacet also excellent but for some reason the German Wilkies (which i like) dont go well with this razor

I have never felt a feather so smooth in any razor prior to putting it into a BB, the WR2 came close
