In case you missed it or are unaware the Blackland Blackbird Titanium razors will be back in stock this Sunday August 15th at 1pm Pacific. The thing is that they are Only available from now on (unless sales plummet I guess) in a satin finish. Polished finish versions are no longer available.
What are your thoughts? How do you feel about this? Personally, I don't yet own one though I definitely want one and will own one at some point. My thought is that I would prefer a shiny polished finish over any other.
Here is the text from the body of the email I received:
There was also a link to a video from Shane talking about this change where he shows off the new satin finish. There's also a video on the Blackland site that shows it as well.

They say you shouldn't mess with success. I don't know who "they" are, but I'm glad they don't work here.
The Blackbird Titanium is a great razor. It's a bestseller and one of our most in-demand products. It's a success. But we messed with it anyway. (And we made it even better.)
From now on, the Blackbird Titanium will be offered in a satin finish. It's elegant, smooth, and consistent. And it feels incredible on the skin. It's everything you want in a razor's finish.
We might bring back the polished finish in a limited capacity in the future. For now, we're all-in on satin.
The satin finish is a delicate media-blasted finish. To get it just right, we tested a lot of different media and pressures. We wound up with something perfect. It glimmers in the right light. It looks stately in any setting. And if you look just close enough, there's the faintest hint of machine marks on a couple of select surfaces - an Easter egg that nods to the finish we're leaving behind.
The satin finish has a real presence that is deserving of the Blackbird Titanium. We know you're going to absolutely love it.
And this Sunday, you can be one of the very first to experience the new Blackbird Titanium.
