Blackland Brotherhood - B³

[GMUK]

Razor: Blackbird sb
Blade: Wizamet (1)
Brush: Razorock 400
Soap: Stirling Sandpiper
Post: Stirling Sandpiper splash

After a few days in Single Edge territory it’s now back to DE’s with the sublime Blackbird. An effortless BBS with zero irritation or nicks etc. Skin always feels really good post shave with Stirling Sandpiper soap and splash, a great way to start the day.

Bowl: Captain's Choice Copper
Lather: Cella Extra Extra Bio
Aftershave: TFS Intense Line - Bergamotto Neroli

Incredible razor. The Blackbird OC takes the efficiency of the SB up a notch. Some additional blade feel but, when used with a steep angle, it is still smooth. Absolutely one of my 'Top Tier' DE razors.

Superb shave!

One of the best shaves of the year so far! This razor lives up to the hype... Blackbird gives Incredible shaves!!

The bird has landed. I have been interested since October, and this morning a 101mm black oxide (or jet, as it is now called, which is a name I like, a lot) safety bar arrived. Just finished an evening shave with it and I am very happy:

The bird has a lot of blade feel, which is not a surprise. I had wonderful results, and this was after two previous daily shaves with another aggressive razor, the iKon Standard. Very happy with the first shave.
