It is my first GEM razor and love it. It is also adjustable that gives you an opportunity to find smoothness/aggressiveness level that one prefers. I highly recommend this product. Also the service of blackland is very nice ! Thank you 😊

I originally had my Titanium Osprey in the Machined finish but I loved it so much, I wanted to have it upgraded to the polished finish. Blackland did an amazing job, it's blown me away, I just can't stop admiring it on the stand and the shave it gives is perfection. This kind of attention to quality in the finishing is what makes Blackland stand out from the crowd.

Have the Blackbird in ss but wanted to see what all the hype was around the Ti version. Very nice razor but I think I slightly prefer the weight of the ss over the Ti version. Both are fantastic razors and switch back and forth. Ti for light beard growth, ss for heavier growth.

I’m so impressed with the Vector Polished Light SB, along with the stand, and the Feather Pro Guard Artist Club (AC) blades!!! Yes 🙌 10/10 shave - I am a promoter of this Blackland Vector shaving system. What more could the modern American in need of a smooth, comfortable, and healthy shave need? Not much… very efficient system which lessens the total on metal contact to skin per shave. The blades last like 10+ shaves for me because they’re more rigid than their double edge cousins. I find ...

I love blackbird. I have it in machined brass and polished stainless steel, but I wanted to buy just the titanium SB baseplate, since I have discovered that the baseplate makes the blackbird regardless of the finish. The titanium SB base plate is very smooth and just as efficient, a little less slippery than polished steel. It feels very light. When I want less weight I put a titanium handle on it and I understand the fuss about titanium. Super light, very smooth and efficient.

All of the other razors I own, I always feel like something is lacking when I use them. The Osprey has filled that void. My favorite attribute is the tight blade clamping. It’s tight, a lot tighter than anything I have ever used. It has removed the blade skipping on my lower neck that my other razors are prone to doing. I have used Feather, Astra SP, Personna Platinum, Personna Comfort Coated, and Gillette Nacet blades with the Osprey. All those blades have performed beautifully. ...

I was intrigued by the odd shape and wanted to try it for myself. This razor really is a cracking shaver, surprisingly no blade feel especially when going ATG. It's quality and finish is typical Blackland and first class. Everyone that has had a tour of my ever growing razor collection, has been unable to resist picking it up and commenting. If you ever get the chance to own one you won't regret it.

The Lite baseplate just made the best razor (including straights) ever encountered even better. No razor is as lightweight nor maneuverable but the standard plate required using a guarded blade to prevent cuts and weepers on my damaged skin. The Lite baseplate allows using a Feather Pro which has a cleaner edge, wears longer and is less expensive to boot. Within 3 shaves, had experienced the single best shave ever and followed it today with an equally great shave. People enquire how the L...

This razor is peace of art! The built and quality is superb. Of course, most importantly, it shaves so good. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to own this remarkable piece.

Lo puedo resumir en que es la mejor maquinilla que he probado. Creí que la versión en acero pulido sería inigualable: el titanio da una dimensión más al afeitado e incrementa la versatilidad de la herramienta. Imprescindible e insustituible.

Jason A.
It’s a great razor. I really enjoy the blade feel. If you get the angle just right, the blade feel lets you know that it’s shaving correctly, and it’s smooth. If the angle is wrong, it feels harsh. It took a couple of weeks to really get the feel for it. I really enjoy using the Blackbird. I have only used my Osprey once since I figured the Blackbird out. The Blackbird just really works well. The only gripe I have is out of the box, the top cap has several fine scratches on it. They are...

Elegant and heavy duty stand that will last forever. The razor looks fantastic in it and it is serving it’s purpose well in that my razor dries in no time on it.

I already had the Osprey in the machined version. Actually, I was very satisfied. However, I was bothered by the traces of the CNC milling machine. The top cap was rough and subjectively the gliding properties were not as smooth as on other models. I also found the readability of the digits on the dial difficult to read. The polished version of the Osprey with Vis a Vis inscription on the step numbers completely removed these minor points. For me, the Osprey is now perfect and one of the most be...

A high-quality, comfortable, and solid-feeling razor. Its slim head makes it very easy and intuitive to use. The handle length is just right, making maneuvering effortless. Overall, I’m very satisfied with it — I’m really glad I bought it. Definitely recommended.

This Osprey is quickly becoming my go-to razor. Love my Blackbirds & Lites, but the adjustability of the Osprey really shines for me. Especially the low end 1-3, and the high end 7-9. The low settings for final clean up on my face and head. The high settings for shaving around my mustache and taking multi-day hair off my head.

Head and face shaver here, The Vector's wide yet compact head makes it perfect for shaving the sides, and back of the head. It also excels at shaving spots that can be cumbersome for most other razors to reach. (Like just under the nose). Wanna line up your beard? The Vector has you covered. Enjoy traveling? Blackland offers a perfectly weighted stand. Set it on a counter. You and, your Vector are home away from home. Best Artist Club Razor ever made IMHO. Happy Shaving, Francis Batiste III

I'm still getting used to the new razor but when I use it correctly it's the smoothest shave I've had. I really enjoy the aesthetic of it as well as it's ease of use and similarity to tradition cartridge razors. In the long term, I will enjoy savings on disposable blades, have a close comfortable shave, and a design that will withstand time.

The best GEM razor in the business. Versatility that is unmatched in the GEM blade field of shaving tools and a very formidable competitor regardless of razor blade format. Yes, it's that good. I've had the razor for nearly 4 months and it has not just met expectations, it simply exceeded them by a wide margin. Blackland added the extra oomph it needed to take it to not just the next level but, a whole other level entirely. Still smooth, still intuitive and just a true pleasure in action. The OG...

Shaving with the Vector Ti is a bit like making love. After decades of DE with the Blackbird Ti OC being my 'one & only' for the last 1 1/2 years, I wanted to experience AC shaving. Wondering if I would make a compromise in terms of efficiency I had asked Shane. He told me that I would reach a similar level using the Feather Prof. Super. Unfamiliar with the new razor and such blades in general I had an unpleasantly harsh 1st date with the FPS and then continued with the regular 'Feather Prof....

I own numerous safety razors, many of which are top-of-the-line. First off, this Blackbird Titanium is aesthetically a 10 out of 10 for me—that has to be said right away. From a practical standpoint, the weight of the titanium is perfect; it makes the razor extremely agile. Its effect on the skin is different from that of steel—warmer. You can feel the blade, but with gentleness. The razor is very deep, with a highly intuitive angle that, even though it's more defined by its geometry than some o...

I declare myself a Blackland fan. I own three Blackbirds in all finishes: satin, polished, and machined. I have them in brass, stainless steel, and titanium. I have them in the standard SB and OC plates. I also have an ERA in both plates and a machined Dart. Of all of them, I just got a Blackbird SB Lite machined plate, which for my skin and shaving needs is the best Blackbird for me. Very smooth and still very efficient. Two notches smoother than the standard plate and only one notch less effic...

John S.
After about 8 shaves with it, I found that I need to add significantly more pressure than I’m used to with many of my SS DE razors. But, when I add pressure, I get phenomenal shaves with this thing. It’s gentle, but also efficient enough to get to BBS after three passes. I’d be curious to try the regular plate, but the lite is great for me as a daily shaver. As always with Blackland, my Vector is superbly finished with no marks or blemishes anywhere.

Vladyslav Z.
I held off on buying the Blackbird for a long time because of all the horror stories about how aggressive it is. Some folks even said it’s harsher than the R41, and razors like the Rocca and Rockwell 6 already gave me plenty of trouble. They chewed up my skin and left me with cuts everywhere. So buying a Blackbird made zero sense for me — in theory it should’ve butchered me 🙂. To be fair, I did nick a mole on my chin (totally my fault), but aside from that the shave was shockingly smooth. Despi...

For me, the best adjustable razor that I’ve tried and one of the best razors overall. Can’t have a bad shave with it. Really well balanced and very natural to use, feels great in the hand and in the face. My preferred razor from Blackland (I think I’ve tried them all). Well done.

I was hoping for a 1/2 DE razor from Blackland, but didn't expect this. It's a unique shave! Super efficient when you find your angle. Have only used it a handful of times. It seems like I get a fast, two pass, face shave with my Batch 002. The nickel finish on it is literally slick. Right now, I'm still working on different ways to grip and hold it. One thing I've found is it is super easy to tilt it, so I'm getting a slant effect.

What is not to like for a modern adjustable double edge razor. I have a collection of DE razors most made in Germany. Since I found out Blackland Razors, I have got to give them a try so I bought my single edge, Vector. Then came the Osprey. These have been my daily drivers alternating between the two. The Osprey is beautifully and finely crafted Made in USA razor. The brass insert complements the stainless steel body. The Fully hollow handle provides grip on slippery situation. The numbers on t...

I found the angle quickly and was sufficiently thorough. Further shaves and a better blade will probably result in very good thoroughness and efficiency. I find the razor extremely gentle. It glides well. It's too light for my liking, but with well-dosed pressure it's very good on the go. Shane was right. I think the handling is brilliant. There is no wrong grip. You can hold it however you like. But it works exceptionally well. The wide grip makes it easier to dose and navigate. I found it very...

I am beyond satisfied with the vector. I was scared it was going to be a little too aggressive but was wrong. The razor shaves as smooth as butter. Couldn’t be happier.

Batch 002 is a prome example of thinking outside the box. A "what if" mentality is what moves innovation forward. Blackland has that mentality. I am looking forward to Batch 003. The razor is one of my favorite SE razors I own. Design, fit and finish are S tier quality! The perfomance and efficiency are perfect for me. Keep it up Blackland!

Outstanding AC razor - smooth, efficient and lightweight. Smallest AC razor head I've found, so extremely maneuverable. Handle design contributes to a positive grip even when wet. Just a fantastic razor, in design and function!

My 3rd Blackland razor in addition to Osprey & Vector. Love the Sabre (L2) equally, a no brainer razor. Easy to use, no fear of shaving on multiple passes nor burns. The GEM might look intimidating due to its size but I can get equally the same number of shaves with Feathers DE and ProGear blades. The razor weight serves me well. Strongly recommended!

Perhaps the best all around performer in the Blackland collection of razors. One can cover every razor from this maker with a turn of the adjustment dial and it would deliver an equal shave if not better. Face feel with Titanium is unique to this alloy and is superb with every Titanium alloy razor I’ve tried and owned. The Osprey Ti is no exception to this trait as it feels smooth and easy on the skin. Balance is excellent with equal respect to ease of use as well. The Stainless version is a gr...

I am delighted to write a glowing review of the Blackland Blackbird Lite Razor! I am still new to wet shaving but have read good things about Blackland razors and have watched Shane’s videos on YouTube and also heard Shane speak on a shaving podcast, so I decided to give the Blackbird Lite a try and WoW! I’ve used the Blackbird Lite several times now and can’t say enough good things about it. I realize this art is subjective “YMMV”, but I have to say it’s given me some of the best shaves of my l...

I have been using a Gamechanger .84 for about 2 years now. When this popped up some time back on a whim I grabbed it up. So glad I did. Not a lot more, but a little more efficient than the .84. With 2 passes I can easily get a DFS. With just a little buffing up, I can easily get a BBS. I have found because of the lightness of the razor I have to put just a little pressure on the razor. Over wise it seems to bounce off my face just a bit. Not a problem. Now I see why folks pay a little ...

An Unbelievable shave from an unbelievable piece of kit! I’ve tried numerous razors over the years, but this one truly stands out. The shaving experience was incredibly smooth, precise, and comfortable. No irritation, no missed spots—just perfect results every time. The build quality feels premium, and it's clear this razor is designed to last. If you want a GEM razor that delivers an exceptional shave every single day, don’t hesitate—this is the one! Highly recommended.

I have been using DE razors and straight razors for over 16 years. Tried numerous different high end products. This beauty is constructed carefully with perfect positive blade exposure yet so efficient and ever so smooth. Just love my new Blackbird Titanium polished. Well done Blackland! Great costumer service and smart shipping to Scandinavia.

The Osprey Titanium is superb. The quality, design and engineering is amazing. I love the adjustability being able to dial it down for a mild but efficient head shave or increase the aggression for stubborn beard growth. I like the balance and how nimble the Titanium feels. It gives me just the right touch and maneuverability for head shaving and translates well to face shaving around my goatee. By far one of the finest razors in my collection. If I had to keep just one razor it would be the Osp...
