The hobby can still live on in frightful overfixation. It’ll just be one that saves money like we tell ourselves in the beginning.
The Houston USPS regional hub did an "upgrade" in December last year and FUBARed quite badly. It took forever to get stuff out of the Hub. I hope it works out for you soon.USPS is being a booger. Tracking still shows “Label created” and nothing else.
People at Blackland are helping from their side and I’m just waiting for more information.
Blackland Razors customer service? 10/10
USPS tracking? -100/10
Hopefully the razor arrives soon.So, the tracking information finally updated on my Blackbird baseplate. It says I can expect delivery on Wednesday the eighth. That makes it ten days since the shipping label was printed, twelve days since I ordered it.
USPS service is not what it used to be.
But, in the “cup is half full” category: the Shield AC razor in brass shows back in stock on AE.
On the other hand (cup half empty), I would have to let go of two of my remaining three razors to get it.
If I was the vindictive type, I would take inventory of someone’s shoes….
Welcome! You mean one of these…I recently got my Blackland Blackbird Lite and love it!When I first started shaving, I used my dad’s safety razor (I’m sure it was some model of a Gillette TTO).
I made the fairly common progression from there to cartridges then to a Norelco, and here I am, back to a safety razor.
The one I picked up is apparently older than me (it’s from 1962, I hail from ‘64) but it is adjustable which is more than I can say for myself.
When I first bought it, I was using it the way I did back in the late 70s/early 80s - with canned foam “goo”.
For Christmas, my family upgraded my shave equipment. I now have a cheap boar brush and a sleeve of 100 Feather blades from Amazon, an unscented shave soap from Stirling, and a marble shave bowl by Beau Brummell (not sure how to spell it).
I’m stylin’ and profilin’.
Now, I just need to get me one of those neato nifty Blackland Blackbird razors and I’ll be in like Flint.
