Shaun mentioned on one of the forums that he would like to bring out a slant razor at some point. That really peaked my interest.

Alright y’all. So I just had my first shave with a BB this morning. I used a day old Wizamet. All i can say is Wow, I’m sold. It took me a little long to get here but I’m definitely in the Blackbird fan club. I might still be in the honeymoon phase with this razor but this morning’s shave was great. This razor is different than any other razor I’ve tried to date but boy is it fun to use. I read everyone’s comments about riding the safety bar and used that guidance with my first shave with the BB and it produced wonderfully smooth results (thanks all for the recommendation
I usually ride the cap and adjust my angle off of that, so it took a second or two to get accustomed to riding the safety bar. That said, once I did it was smooth sailing.
Thank again all for the great information on this thread. I look forward to many more wonderful shaves from this razor.

Weekly reminder why this razor is king for me.
After a few more shaves with my recently acquired BB, I can safely say that this razor does it for me. It’s loud. It’s honest (I heard someone else use “honest” to describe this razor and I thought that really captured it well) It’s efficient yet smooth. It’s fun. It’s balanced and easy to maneuver. Echoing others, I need to pay attention with this one but I’m rewarded with top tier shaves when I do. I can, and have been, using it daily for the past few days without issue.
Just wonderful piece of kit!

Glad you're enjoying it.
I call the BB an 'enigma'. It's got the blade feel, is efficient, is fun, but doesn't feel reckless. I enjoy the range of performance from riding the cap to the guard.

May I be included?
May we get a ruling from the Blackbird Cognoscenti?
Do we post and discuss only the Blackland Blackbird? Or are shaves with any of Shane's razors allowed?
Thank you.

Dude that started the club hasn’t logged in for months; I’d be ok with other Blackland stuff.
I'm good with it.
Man those SS Gillettes are the truth
Where do you get the Gillette SS?
Unobtanium, buddy found a card on eBay and kicked me a few tucks. I don’t think they make them anymore.
@nelamvr6 told me it was fine for Blackland Blackbird Brotherhood members to discuss other fine Blackland razors in the club.
Dude I’m in love with the Sabre. I grab it 9/10 times anymore; just works great, zero irritation, almost autopilot. Plus the blades last forever. It’s a great razor.
Do you have the level 1 or level 2 baseplate? Yeah, it is extremely smooth. I look forward to getting familiar with it.
Level 2, roughly similar to the Vector regarding shave, more efficient tho. Dig it.
