I use both sides, the other side looks the same
This is proof I ride the cap a bit. These pictures are a bit older, I have actually traded the SB plate for an OC, so the razor has a few more uses on it now.

Outstanding shave today. 2 passes, DFS and then some. Really loving this razor. @Marhos24 you try yours yet?!
Also, this Maggard’s SHD is the truth, if you’re looking for a soft cloud-like badger knot, look no further.
I have not yet! I've been shaving daily and getting used to the timeless still. Worried about daily shaving and the OC being too much on the bird. Definitely building on me. I look at it every day in its box lol.
@Steinmetzify One more week at the most and I'll give it a go.

My man!
People buy razors and just let them sit there?! That poor little Blackbird sitting there so lonely.
Well now you made me feel bad. Maybe it will get some shave time sooner than later lol.

Shane is master of the guilt trip!
I've had mine for months and am still amazed at how close it shaves. It never gets old. I still rotate in my Karve and Ganechanger, loving them both. But when I pick up the Blackbird I immediately remember just how much better it is. It goes to 11.

Right? I just gave up and sold everything else except my Ikon.
The OC is not as aggressive as rumored. I think it's quite smooth.

I have both plates but I just can’t seem to get ‘smooth’ from the OC. I am not giving up, though.
Glad to hear! I usually shave every other day, so it should be perfect then. If it seems too aggressive after awhile, I'll be looking to trade for a SB lol.
I just got the OC plate but haven’t tried it yet. Looking forward to comparing to the SB.
Only OC I have, kind of a newbie with them. Tried one about 5 yrs ago but I was still too new to the game to make it work.

Are you saying it's more aggressive/efficient that say the R41 or even an SR by giving a score of 11? -Blackland quote the Blackbird as 7 /7.5 (SB/OC) ??
Of the 20 or so razors I've tried even the most aggressive seem to fail in giving me a 'glass like' shave underneath my jaw. Even after the closest shaves I've ever had, and with buffing, I can still feel the cut down stubble unlike on my cheeks where I can achieve 'glass like' BBS with no apparent stubble feel.
With the unique curvature of the blade in the Blackbird would the razor give me the same level of closeness on my jaw as on my cheeks?

I've never used the R41, so I can't compare. "This one goes to 11" was a quote from Spinal Tap.
As far as glass-like shave, the Blackbird is the only razor that's given me that feeling.

Even after using this thing for all this time I’m still amazed after every shave at how close it gets with virtually zero irritation.
I used the Blackbird today, after *gasp* probably two weeks rotating through other razors. I forgot how smooth and efficient this thing is, and the audio feedback it provides. The OC plate for me is smoother than the SB I had and slightly more efficient. Enjoyed the BB so much I'm thinking it's up for tomorrow too!
