I've bought Safety Bar and Lite Titanium Blackbird plates to try on my satin brass Blackbird. Liked them enough to get an actual Blackbird Ti. Are the Ti plates better than the brass? I'd say both offer different shaving experiences. I appreciate and enjoy shaving with each.

The Blackbird razor is one of my favorite go to razors. The design and angle of the blade works great on my face and skin. This PVD coated razors works perfectly and fits great in the hand. Thanks for another great product.

I was so satisfied with using Persona Mediprap, but this razor blade doesn't seem right for me, it's too rough and my beard is shaved, but the razor I've used is blackbird titanium, but I think I should try it on other razors

I wanted to own a titanium razor, but I liked the design of Blackland so much that I bought it I really like the sound of shaving and I think it's okay I want to buy a few more blackland shavers I really like the finish and design, so I'm happy

This is an awesome razor! It’s super smooth, efficient, and comfortable. My first three shaves were great with the provided Personna blades, but the fourth shave I experienced pulling and caused some bleeding on my neck. I don’t blame the razor—it was the blade—the blade was too dull. Personna longevity is not impressive—good for the first few shaves. My next shaves I am going back to a sharper blade like a permasharp or feather. Otherwise great performing razor. Looking forward to the osprey!

This is an excellent razor. Attractive, smooth shaving, efficient, nimble and just the right weight for maneuverability. I own several Blackland razors and this one continues to live up to their legend.

I have shaved with many so-called aggressive razors in my life. The Blackbird Ti shaves at least as close as the best of them and more efficient than most of them. And none of all these other razors loves my skin as much as the BB Ti does. No tension, nothing but a soft and relaxed feeling after the shaves. Since many months a small spot had evolved next to my lips and almost always I scraped as well often as 'opened' it when doing my daily 3 passes. After 1 week with the BB Ti it had complete...

The blackbird is the best DE razor that I have tried. I use all three baseplates, depending on how much growth I have and they’re always up for the task. The workmanship is excellent and I didn’t experience any sort of learning curve with the standard and open comb plates. I’d highly recommend giving it a go.

Andrew N.

Well it’s amazing and I can’t really say anything that hasn’t already been said in other reviews. Thought I’d include a photo of the top cap along side a DE razor for size comparison. I found the size and weight to be perfect and very nimble to shave with. GEM style razors often look very large and cumbersome which is why I’ve avoided them till now… the Blackland crew has redefined another razor class yet again. And as most of us have discovered, you will not find a better customer service expe...

I had heard that the Blackbird is aggressive therefore I have bought both the lite and the regular base plate. Not tried the lite so far but the regular base plate is great, not aggressive at all, efficient and gentle with the made in US Personna blade included in the box. Really a great razor, my first high end razor, I'm not disappointed at all. I may have preferred it a bit lighter, I'll see if I can get an Ti handle to see how it works.

David T.

I purchased the long handle as a separate item when I purchased the Blackbird. I wasn't sure which of the handle lengths I would like the best, so I figured if I order the Blackbird with one handle, and then purchase the other handle separately. I have small hands, but despite this, I find the long handle gives me more manoeuvrability over the standard handle length, and I am so pleased I got it. I still like the standard handle length and still use it, and I usually alternate between them fro...

David T.

I purchased this when I got the Blackbird. I'm a sucker for a nice razor stand, and this razor stand certainly is a very nice razor stand. It's very weighty and there is no chance that your Blackbird will fall out of it. The fit, finish and craftsmanship on the stand is absolutely flawless (and so is anything I have purchased from Blackland). You can certainly tell the machinist that makes the stands, takes great pride in their work. Not much more to say apart from that if you want a really ...

Blackbird Stand

David T.

I got the Blackland Blackbird for Christmas 2022. I got the version that came with both base plates and I also got the matching stand and I purchased the long handle separately. I have spent since shortly after Christmas trying the Blackbird out with the various blades I have, and also with both the base plates. I wanted to do this before leaving a review, as this helped me spend more time with the razor, so that I could then give a more in-depth and just a generally better review experience. ...

My Vector story… Let me tell you first, I absolutely love my Vector!! There is nothing else on the market that even compares. I searched long and hard for the perfect single edge razor for me. I tried a couple before I got my Vector and even found one I liked, but it just wasn’t perfect. Then when I got my Vector, I’ll be honest, I didn’t think it was right for me either, as it does take some practice to figure out how to use it correctly. My first few shaves I was cutting myself…a lot! I almost...

The hype is real. What a perfect combination of smooth and efficient. What's most remarkable: No irritation. None. Seriously. Daily shaving with BBS results and no irritation. No razor has been able to achieve this. I really like the aesthetics and design. The Blackbird Ti has dethroned my Wolfman razors. 10/10 would highly recommend.

John D.

Absolutely love my Blackbird. Super efficient and yet incredibly smooth. Wondered how I would react to the switch between gap and exposure, and have been pleasantly surprised. I generally prefer razors with a shallower angle (axis of razor handle closer to axis of shaving surface) and open comb razors, so the Blackbird plays right into my sweet spot in both respects. On top of all of that, it's simply gorgeous.

I use the vector stainless steel machining finished and feather professional super blade. It is a great blade feel and a awesome shaving result ! My favorite points are very good balance of handle length and weight .This is caused feather touch shaving like no damage my skin .

I have been shaving for 50 years. Started with a Merkur. Most of my life, I used different razors. Primarily, de razors. Finally retired and am spoiling myself with your wonderful razors. Started with the Ti Blackbird and bought the bronze lite bottom plate. After a bit of discussion with the company ,decided to get the Ti Vector. Absolutely love it. I only use it for head and neck shaving. Smooth. Only cut myself a few times. Gets behind the ears beautifully. The wide head makes it hard to have...

Over the past several years I have accumulated many Blackbird razors in Titanium and stainless. I currently own 3 Gem style razors, The Shield,The original Sabre with level 1 and 2 plates and now my new Stainless Sabre 2(4 shave levels and with stand. Today I used a four time used Personna Gem(now rebranded Accuforge) blade as a trial with this new Sabre Gem. I started with the #2 stamped safety bar which shows “2” on the bottom of the razor. I was familiar with Shane’s #2 plate action on my ori...

Ken S.

Three daily shaves in and I love it. I have been shaving with a safety razor for many, many years but I have only bought two "artisan" razors before. They were a lot of money and......disappointing. The Tradere is the real thing. It shaves oh so close and is very comfortable. Thank you!

undefined review of Era image 1 out of 1

David O.

I believe the Era platform offers great value given its relatively modest price point for the quality of the razor. While the level 3 plate was able to achieve a decent shave I ultimately moved to a level 4 plate. The level 4 plate provided a very enjoyable shave and with a little bit of extra touch up and buffing achieved BBS. I plan to purchase the level 5 plate as well but the level 4 could definitely be a daily shaver. As someone getting back to competitive bike racing the level 4 plate also...

Absolutely amazing razor! It’s super efficient without being too aggressive or harsh. I get the smoothest shave with the Blackbird that I ever have in my life! Also it’s a damn good looking razor!

Blackbird

José Francisco I.

This is the best DE razor ever! In Titanium, the Blackbird is even better. More maneuverable, gentle on the skin but with the same efficiency. There’s no competitor. It gives me a very near BBS in two passes WTG-XTG. And deal with Shane is always a pleasure.

Have got both the polished and machined Ti, much prefer the machined. It's gripper and the Blackbird's angles are more defined. The more industrial look of the unpolished finish just seems to suit the Blackbird better. This razor is so good I'm thinking of flipping the Slim Ti's.

Derek N.

I cannot speak highly enough about this razor. I've been wet shaving for a few years now so I'm by no means a veteran and I don't have a ton of experience with different products, but this razor outperforms everything I've experienced thus far. I have fairly sensitive skin yet I have no problems getting a baby smooth shave with zero irritation. Everything that Blackland claims about this razor, it delivers on: it's smooth, it's comfortable, and boy is it lightweight without sacrificing efficienc...

Matt C.

Hands down the best de razor I have ever used, and I've used plenty. I have owned both the machined and polished finish, my personal preference is for the polished. The finish is flawless and it glides over the skin effortlessly. If only I had bought this as my first razor I could have saved many years of mediocre shaves.... 10 out of 10 Blackland.

Liyang W.

As many other previous reviews say, it is an extremely efficient razor, and I believe it has the most unique sound among all the razors I have used (similar to Tatara razors and Henson AL13). I believe anyone looking for a perfect daily razor will not pass this Blackland Titanium. Great job, Blackland!

After my fabulous seven-day trial of the SB Blackbird, my OC baseplate turned up. Naturally, I fitted it straight away and had an EVEN BETTER shave. As I'm an LHF (Lightweight Handle Fanboy) I used my Phoenix Filament handle (5.5 grams) with my OC Blackbird on the following shave. PURE MAGIC. At last, I have my GRAIL RAZOR. Thank you so much, Shane (and Fran at Phoenix).

Paul R.

A little background - I've been wet shaving for several years now and have a number of both DE and SE razors. I've now shaved several times with the Vector and am very happy with the shaves and with the design and quality of this razor. It's definitely at the top of my list as far as SE razors are concerned, and I look forward to many years of enjoyable and close shaving experiences!

Vector

Cal B.

I watched Shane's video on how to get started, and followed that barring the shallow shaving (and the “only with the grain” first shave). I’m a natural steep shaver (guard rider). My first shave was excellent (not to mention BBS). The six consecutive shaves that followed were even better. I'm in love!

Bashar M.

I have been a wet shaver for many years. I shave my head, beard and tidy up my mustache with a feather dx. Unintentionally I became a safety razor collector due to always chasing that perfect shave. I own American, Canadian, Japanese and German de razors. When I came across the vector I knew I had to try it for myself, I was already familiar with single edge feather blades. I am very pleased with the razor! It’s very efficient, quick, nimble and I don’t get any kind of irritation. I shave in hal...

I don’t think anyone will ever make a better AC safety razor. There’s nothing to improve upon. I like the Blackbird Lite, too, but if I could only have one razor, it would be the Vector - and I’ve tried many.

Francisco R.

I am very satisfied with the Vector as a product, and with the shaving experience its delivers, is perfectly constructed,and works very nice on the face. Another positive point is that was shipped and delivered in an appropriate margin of time.

Long T.

blackbird stainless steel with both standard and lite baseplates have been used every other for head shave last two weeks. performing exceptionally well, no a single weeper, nicks, or cut; very smooth and comfortable shave. the amount of blade feel feedback is just enough to guide the razor head and how much pressure is being applied to the skin. Love it! will try to get the open comb baseplate also.

Just got into wet shaving this year and it has become a bit of an obsession. The Blackland Blackbird was something on my list for a while and it does not disappoint! Got it in titanium it the lite configuration, but wanted the full experience so I also ordered the regular base plate. I got it in the blue anodized finished and it is beautiful. Special thanks to the folks who recognized that I inadvertently ordered the satin finish stand And emailed me so I could have them correct this to the anod...

Wanted a single edge razor. No idea which direction to go. Until I found my VECTOR. Incredible customer support for questions. The craftmanship is 2nd to maybe only the quality. I use as suggested pro guard blades. My fist shave kind of scared me. I was not used to so much blade feel. The results though, are unbeatable. The technique was simple to pick up, repeated uses only get better. With the matching stand the Vector looks COOL. Best direction I have take for shaving.

Absolutely perfect! I am just amazed how efficient and forgiving it it! It is my very first DE safety razor and I thought to get a top of the line DE razor that is work passing down to kids/grandkids. I am blown away how it shaves better than my Mach 3!!! I guess I am using the “shallow” technique mentioned on the Blackland channel. I don’t get wrapped up on the proper angle 📐 stuff either I I have been shaving for over 30 years. I just picked up the razor, added shave cream and went to work wit...
