Probably Boxing Day is the most relaxing and enjoyable day of the year as far as I’m concerned. Lots of sausages in the house, jammies, grandpa slippers, football and Guinness. So a bit of reading fits in quite well.
It’s been a while now I’ve been following topics about the Blackbird razors. Never been too sure about the handle design or the blade feel opinions; what intrigued me was the smoothness mentioned in almost every review.
I like mild razors; nevertheless, I don’t mind using wide gaps for the first pass. Then I must dial in a different setting for the rest of the shave. I’m an adjustable fellow, so I’m quite reluctant in using aggressive razors for a full shave.
For whatever reason, I always go back to these topics, the Blackland website, to finally end up asking myself the same question: what do I do?
I pulled the trigger today and ordered the titanium Blackbird. I’ve never used a titanium-made razor. I’ve never even seen one in real life. I also don’t think paying a premium price for titanium is necessary. Will I like the light weight, will I manage to have a comfortable shave with an aggressive razor?
It’s done now anyway... hopefully it’ll fit well in my den.
If you ever tried one, what was your experience?
P.S. Compared with the SS, is titanium more prone to scratches?
Happy Boxing Day!
