I leave my razor tightened up to rinse as needed throughout my shave. After my shave, I disassemble my razor, rinse each piece thoroughly and dry.
Introducing the Blackland Era - 100% stainless steel. 3D printed. $75

Unsurprising bulletin: I can't find the washer. Typical for me. It will not be replaced.
My replacement top cap arrived and I no longer have alignment issues. I tried 3 different blades and even tried to misalign each with no success. I am very much enjoying the shaves I'm getting from the Era level 5 OC. It's easily one of the most comfortable OC razors I've used while also being extremely efficient.
One other comment I would make to Shane is to recommend a lighter handle to sell as an option. Given the target market, aluminum is likely the best bet, although I use a titanium handle with it (and most razors). The weight will be comparable with the cartridge the user is coming from, and it might be cheaper to produce as well.
@Blackland Razors …. Shane, can you tell me when the Level 5 SB will be available? I should have added that to my original order, but did not foresee that I would need the highest level plates. Thanks.

This month! Make sure you’re on our newsletter and following on social media so you see the date announcement.
Thank you! Yes to both. I will keep my eyes out for it.
Looks like there are some new baseplates added up for sale right now. Going to pick some up.

We haven't added any new inventory yet. If a base plate was restocked it would be due to a canceled order or something like that. A full restock will happen later this month.
I stand corrected…
I think I’d read that a restock was happening this week, is that still on track? Maybe a Friday release for weekend shopping?

@Blackland Razors I just received an email from Thursday evening that said the ERA was back. I was on a long international flight, and this is the first opportunity I have had to catch up on my emails. However, the SB Level 4 and 5 are still sold out. Did they sell out that fast? Did I miss out? Or is that stock still coming soon? Sorry for the questions, but I really would like to get those two plates. Thanks.Make sure you're on our newsletter. We'll be announcing shortly.
Which 3D/CNC hybrid machine is it?

It’s not a single machine, but rather a full system comprising of printing, machining, sintering, and finishing. The company who created the process and with whom we’ve partnered is 3DEO, based on LA.
I finally was able to get the Level 5 SB plate. It was a long wait. Not sure if I missed a drop along the way. Or if that one particular plate was just out of stock for months. But I finally got one. Threw a couple others in the cart as well. For $35 a plate, why not. I will start rotating through them tomorrow morning.
I ordered an Era this morning.
Open comb.
Level 4.
Can't wait to try it!

After a few months, trying a lot of different blades, Era is a winner, very, very good razor. I use #5 SB.
Agreed. The Era has unseated the Blackbird as my favorite razor. Initially I thought the handle was too heavy, but in use it feels very well balanced. I also appreciate how the blade is clamped so close to the edge. Era 5SB reminds me of a slightly more aggressive Sabre in hand and face feel.
I need to check the order status of mine. Can't wait to get a shave in with it.
