Blackland Blackbird Brass vs Steel showdown with Modern Williams

Prep: Hot Shower and Bloom/Lather Building Water
Soap: Modern Williams
Razor: Blackland Blackbird Brass (OC and SB)/Blackland Blackbird Steel (OC and SB)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)/Personna Lab Blue (1)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (11)
Brush: Zenith Boar
AS: Aqua Velva (Eur)
ASB: Aqua Velva (Eur)

The lather was creamy and slick, as it should be. Just wonderful.

Now for the comparison pass by pass;
Pass I
Right side: Brass OC
Smooth and efficient
Left side: Steel OC
Smooth and efficient
Thought there was a point the razor wasn't gliding quite right
Reevaluated and it was OHS (Operator Head Space)
The Brass felt heavier, but that was about it.

Pass II
Right Side: Steel SB
Smooth and efficient
Left Side: Brass SB
Smooth and efficient
No difference

Pass III
Right side: Brass SB
Smooth and efficient
Left side: Steel SB
Smooth and efficient
No difference

Conclusion: The brass is heavier.

I bought the Steel one first. Loved it. Then I really wanted to get the Brass. I'm glad I did. I love me some Brass.

Thanks brother. What's odd is this is the more efficient version, and it is still super mild.

Blackland Blackbird Steel with Cella for a Marzipan shave.

Prep: Hot Shower and Bloom/Lather Building Water
Soap: Cella
Razor: Blackland Blackbird Steel (OC and SB)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (3)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (14)
Brush: Zenith Synthetic
AS: Cella
ASB: Captains Choice 45th Parallel

When whipped up right Cella is just as good as everything else. Just a nice smooth shave. Got two nicks, but that was OHS, not the fault of the equipment.
