A SuperSpeed and Black Beauty in jolly good nick.

Nice. Where did you pick them up from?

That well known O/S Forum that references small furry animals and cutting edges .

Ahh. The Rat & Razor. Good find.

Blackbird Titanium. Let’s see what all the fuss is about.

Congrats on the new addition and look forward to reading your thoughts once you test it out as the SS is a great shaver yet some say the Ti is equally as good, if not better!?

Yeah, I considered getting the SS, but I have many SS razors and no Ti razors. So I took the plunge.

And yeah, it gets a lot of hype. I’m sure most of it is just hype though.

I’d be interested in anyone’s thoughts who have tried both the SS and the Ti.

As far as I'm aware @Errol has reviewed both with Shane of Blackland insisting that the Ti version shaves smoother so YMMV?!

Weekly Razor Review

Blackland Blackbird – Polished OC (USA) When the Blackbird is removed from the package it is the high quality polished finish that immediately grabs the attention. Both sides of the plate, the top of the cap and the handle have all received the work over while on the underside of the cap...

Weekly Razor Review

Its taken a while but well worth the wait to see the Blackbird SB reviewed. Thanks again @Errol for the commitment and honesty as I always assumed this one to be way too much blade feel but seems not to be thee case...? :unsure:

Ordered from VSHOD yesterday 10:50AM
Received today 11:25AM

It smells delicious! Great Christmas/cold weather scent. If you like that kind of scent - go for it!

“… smooth, warm blend of wine, orange, grapefruit, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pipe tobacco”

No patchouli @Gargravarr !
