Blackbird transformed after changing shaving angle

[nav]

I use my blackbird at a fairly neutral angle, maybe just a touch steeper...like an extra 5° or so.

That works beautifully for me.
Zero harshness and full efficiency.
If I tilt the handle up a little, I feel some harshness without any additional efficiency.

I should mention I use BIC blades, which are about as sharp as feather blades.
When I use Wizamet, the angle is less sensitive as the blade is ultra smooth and a little forgiving to razor angle.

I use my TiBB at a neutral angle as well since discovering that a steep angle didn't work well for me. I just follow the 1st step of the top cap which I believe is pretty close to a 30 degree angle and find I can just zip around my face with no fear of slicing though on occasion if I zip around too fast I'm met with a weeper for sure!! I pretty regularly use Perma-Sharp, Feather, Shark SS, and Silver Star blades with excellent results but recently I've been using Personna Lab Blue with outstanding results.
