Blackland Thursday!

Blackland Thursday. Ordered the long titanium Blackbird handle when I got the email that they were available. And it has sat with my Blackbirds for months while I've played with the BRG antique Gillettes.
I've both the brass and stainless long handles, but this titanium combo was a dream to shave with today. Head and face.

Enjoy your shave!
I actually remembered it was Thursday. The Vector is the razor I use the most, but for some reason, on Thursdays I usually have something else laid out.
Not often does my shave fall on a Blackland Thursday!!

It’s a whole Blackland week for me.
Almost every day I’m home is a Ti Blackbird day. I’ll be away for the weekend and it will be a SS Blackbird for Saturday and Sunday.

Blackland Thursday shave.
Switched out from the Brassbird Lite long handle, to the Blackbird Stainless long handle with gold anodized SB plate.
A fine shave!

Well, it was a Ti Osprey shave for me. Still experimenting with the settings. Getting pretty darn good shaves at lower settings, but easing upward to see if I find “the” setting. Still a bit more pressed for time than I prefer, so I’ll likely repeat the process if things ever settle down.
