In full production as I write this. Will be available very soon.

More and better pics please you TEASE

Oh my!

You are a tease! Intersting ... it looks like Blackland is using alignment "pins" instead of "oval tabs" to hold the blade in place, similar to the Merkur 34C.

Any idea where the Dart fits in relative to the Blackbird? The picture makes it look like a very smooth shaver ... I'm sold if there's an OC variant.

“In production now. Fingers crossed for May, but June looks like a safe bet.”

Thanks for the initial information. Looking forward to more information on this one as it becomes available.

Almost too good to be true!! Sounds amazing!

Wow that sounds like a winner especially at that price! Seems like there’s a trend in lower priced high quality razors lately. Colonial started it a couple of yrs ago and now we have several to choose from.
Good news for the wet shaving community in my opinion.

Thanks Gus for posting the info!

This looks interesting. I've heard a lot about how recent razors like the Paradigm razors have set the bar quite high. I'm hoping this one will match or set the bar higher.

Any tease shots of the handle?

Looks nice!

The head appears quite a bit beefier and more compact than your pictures @GlazedBoker. Just optical illusion perhaps?

Anyway, a bit too space age-y for me.

Perhaps most likely just optics and the angle. I’m lining up for one, love the handle. Blackbird and a Segal razor had a kid, this would be it....

What?
Another new razor no one will remember in 2 years time?
The more new razors on the market, the quicker they all will go bankrupt.
Only the cartridges will survive!
Again!

I'm unclear about the historical precedent you seem to be referring to. How many competitors in the DE market do you think Gillette had in 1971? (Schick, Stahly...umm). By my reckoning most had been dispatched by WW2 and never returned, nothing to do with cartridges that emerged decades later. I'm sure the wartime distruption was a pretty significant factor in the reduced number of new DE razors entering the market in the 50s, as was Gillette's dominance in national TV advertising.

I've got my eyes on this Dart from Blackland! I hope they make a slant for it. Its nicer looking than my ATT...

 

[ajkel64]

It is a very nice looking razor, and the price seems reasonable compared to others. Makes me think about another purchase. Can I justify it to LOTH though?
