No Timeless SE razor :(

[Kennyg2019]

Just watched several reviews of the Vector on YouTube. So far, only one person (The Lathering With Rui) has had anything negative to say about it...Rui said he found it a "very rough shaver". Of course, YMMV and he may have gotten a bad sample, but it's pretty amazing that, so far, I've only found one naysayer. Actually, Rui told me he hasn't given up on the Vector yet...and he's already had it for several months and gone through a lot of different blades!

Colonial General

Yes, I actually have that one

Someone else just told me he sold his Vector for the Colonial General head, which he uses with my favorite (actually, my only lol) handle…the Timeless Crown Wow! That’s quite an endorsement!

Like Shane (and everyone) says…you won’t know until you try!

No rush…Colonial is also SOLD OUT!

Forget it. Kyle at Colonial just told me that they’re switching machine shops so he has no idea when they will produce any more Colonial General heads

Colonial Razors The General is a very good razor.

The Blackland Razors Vector is a better razor - on my face, skin and beard.

Just my opinion.

Today's shave:

Apples & oranges.

Uh-oh…Sounds like I’m about to get another fruit salad!
So far, my favorite is watermelon!

Apples & oranges.

Are you referring to the Vector and the General?

No no.. That would be an apples to apples comparison. I don't see how one can pick a SE equivalent to a DE razor. I understand why people offered suggestions, I just thought it was worth prefacing.

Thank you for elaborating. Appreciate it.

Vector stainless should be back in late Aug/Sept. Titanium in the next few weeks.

Sorry, probably twig would be better for you

Single Edge Razors

Eco friendly razor, the Leaf Twig Razor and Leaf Thorn Razor single blade, single-edge razors. Available in mild (Twig) great for lighter hair or sensitive skin, and more aggressive (Thorn) for tougher hair.

Just ordered a Twig, a GEM Featherlight and Colonial General Head while I’m waiting for the Vector. I figured why not. They’re three different platforms anyway
If I like the GEM, I may get the Sabre as someone suggested

 

[Kennyg2019]

My GEM is coming with ye olde fashioned blades. Are they any good (assuming that they in decent shape after 50 years )?

You joke, but if you have two hours to shave they can produce a perfect, irritation free 8 hour shave.

Don't throw them out though, it's basically kicking puppies

Well, I'll try anything once. If they don't work, I'll just give them away as a bonus when I sell my next razor

 

[sm29]

I've decided...Blackland Vector!

When's the next drop?!

Will try Schick Proline and Kai Captain Titan Protouch MG blades!

Thanks, everyone!

Just an FYI, since you might resell this: get the stand, since it probably won't be available later.

Thanks, but I’m not a stand guy. I use a wall mount.

Vector Ti now available for pre-order.

I'm returning the Twig. It's heavy as a Branch.
