Blackland Thursday!

[JAHE]

I love my Blackland razors - all of them. In tradition of Timeless Tuesday and Wolfman Wednesday, I'm going to dedicate my upcoming Thursday shaves to Blackland and their amazing razors.

Pls join in and get this thing started
Since today is:

Blackland Thursday!

PS: everyone loves SOTD pictures

 

[JAHE]

So... Let's get it started. Lift off with the Blackbird.

I had a brilliant shave with the the SS B'Bird and Feather blade on second use this morning. This combo is a treat. Basically, I'm not a huge fan of the Feather blade, but whenever I match her with the Blackbird it is a combo made in heaven. If you haven't tried it, go for it. You can thank me later...

Two stellar passes made my face feel velvety smooth. No nicks, no irritation, no fuss.

Happy shaves!

I promise to shave every day starting with B with my Blackbird, too! Haha, sorry, could not resist.
Will join in tonight, I shave in the evening.

I promise to shave every day starting with B with my Blackbird, too

Even if it's not alliteration even then, you're better off shaving with your Blackbird on days that end in "y".

Will join in tonight, I shave in the evening.

Excellent!

Double-edged razor doesn't need anything else with blackbird
I do want a brass one though: ！！！！

By the way, can we put vector and Sabre on it?
I was going to use vector first today.

@JAHE you ‘da man

Thanks. That's a beautiful setup
How did you like the (obviously fresh?) Wilki with the Ti Bird? (Wilkinson Sword Germany?)

 

[Sascoman]

Thank you kind sir

Yes German Wilkinson- second use actually. Pairs really well with the Ti Bird for my old man face and fair to middling technique

SS Bird and Gillette Platinum for a winning combo.

I wonder what percentage of the members here own a Blackland product. I sure see a lot of Blackbirds, Vectors and lately, a lot of Tradere-s, here on B&B.

Other than the Henson crowd, Blackland has to be among the most popular. Of course, I don't want to discount the vintage stuff either... lots of Gillette razors and other assorted vintage gear.

That would be an interesting poll.... but hard to manage, at least for me.

I'm in. I have a high enjoyment factor with my Brass'Bird and will gladly use it once a week. Although it gave me some weepers today.

Everyone is different but for me nothing comes close to a Blackbird except another Blackbird. I also have a Blackland Tradere SB which is a beautiful razor to look at and a fine shaver but it would be sold if I could find the initiative to list it.

I have not fallen into the AC and Gem rabbit holes so I think I’m probably done.

What makes Blackland special is the access to Shane for honest answers, the customer service and the generous return policy making a test drive a low risk proposition. For everyone else’s sake, I wish the general supply chain issues could be solved and any razor from any manufacturer readily available without a waiting list or having to wait on a drop.
