I'm a fan of AC-style blades. I purchased the Vector in SS with the lite SB. This is the most efficient razor I've used besides my Feather Kamisori SR. But this razor can go places the Feather SR Kamisori never can. Plus, I can use this razor on my head, too. It's a win-win!!! If you're on the fence buy it. It's that good!!!

This is by far the best double edged safety razor that I have used in my several years of DE shaving. I’ve had many high end and budget razors, and the Osprey takes the crown to date. I post this review after over a month of use. Previously my favorite daily shaver was the Karve Overlander in aluminum. I also dearly love my titanium blackbird. The Osprey however gives the most flawless, irritation free shaves that I have ever experienced. I think that Blackland has truly accomplished the goal of...

I have both the Blackbird and the Lite in Ti. Both are incredible, superbly made tools. I alternate between themfor my daily driver. I’ve been trying different blades this past month to see which works best…Feather, Bic, Astra Platinum, Rk, Rapira Platinum Lux, Gillette Platinum, GSB, Persona Lab Blue, and Kai. Next week is Permasharp, then Wizamet. So far, no issues with any of the above (though the BIC had a bit of tug on the first shave). The Rapira Has been the best for me so far - smoo...

I've already written a highly detailed review, on Badger & Blade. So I highly recommend checking that out. But I'll write a little something here. The Blackland Osprey Adjustable, is literally the best adjustable razor, I have ever bought. It has a wide range of adjustment, from super mild, to hold on to your butts super efficient! It shaves very smoothly, and I can only feel blade feel, on levels 7 through 9. Levels 4 through 6, are a safe medium range. While 1 through 3, are super mild rang...

I received the Blackbird this week, all the way to Plymouth, UK from San Diego, which was a much easier purchasing than I expected. I've used a few other brands of razors before with several different blade types, but when I tried the Backboard for the first time yesterday, it was without the best shave I have ever had, (professional barber experiences excluded). The razor felt really good in the hand, and the very smooth on the face. I've tried it with two blade types, and both were effective....

I was pleasantly surprised how great this razor shaves. I have a level 5 OC which feels extremely smooth with nice blade feel resulting in an amazingly close shave in two passes. The grip rings are a nice touch and feels very nice while shaving. It is also eye appealing. I love the satin finish and build quality is second to none. For the price this razor is almost unbeatable for valve. Shane as done an outstanding job creating this line of razors.

Hello dear Blackland Team I use the Vector with the KAI Captain Titan mild Protouch MG Blade. That's a very good combination. I am very Happy with the Vector and the results of the shavings. Sorry for my poor English. Kind regards Hans Villars

This razor (and stand) are unbelievable. The blade clamping make the blade shave with zero chatter. Additionally, the clamping makes the blade rigid and unbelievably smooth. This razor shaves more like a GEM or artist club style razor in my opinion, which is a VERY GOOD thing. My shaves have been so even and just enjoyable as ever. The adjustability is unmatched with this razor. It could easily be a one razor collection to do all of your shaving needs. The build quality is also unmatched,...

Probably the best all around adjustable. Lower blade feel, but don't confuse that for inefficiency. At level 7 my shave is equal to the blackbird at the 24 hour mark. Ill be picking up the Ti when released.

I tried a Blackbird years ago, thought it was way too aggressive and returned it. Since then I have much improved my shave technique graduating to much more efficient razors and find the more mild types not up to the task. I ordered the Ti version of the Blackbird thinking the lighter weight would equal a softer touch and smoother shave . It does and gives an outstanding shave but I found myself wanting a heavier razor so I ordered the stainless version for the extra weight. This hit right on ...

I am really enjoying the Osprey razor. I have been using the Osprey with Personna lab blue blades on setting 6. It is extremely efficient and gives a great smooth shave. The build quality is great(like all Blackland razors)!!!

I am relatively new to the Wet Shaving experience. I have tried several other razors but was never really satisfied. I then read about the Blackland Company and was intrigued. After reading several reviews and comments I decided to buy the Blackbird Titanium. The 30 day return policy just convinced me how confident Blackland was in their product. I have had several shaves with various pre shave products and several shave soaps and creams. The one constant in all those shaves is the absolute...

I've used this about 6 times so far and it blew me away how much better it was than my cheap amazon DE razor that I've had for 10 years now. For example, it is hugely easier to get the cut hairs out of the razor head when cutting a lot of hair, and it feels much smoother. Amazing quality, and fantastic build. I will use this my whole life. I also had the opportunity to call with the owner, Shane. What a nice guy! I love companies like this and I'm so happy it exists, and the manufacturing is be...

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 purchased my Vector Ti about a week ago after starting with the Vector SS razor. All I can say was what a difference between the two. The Vector SS was my first single blade razor. The SS version was good but the Ti version was even better. It left me with no irritation, nicks and a very smooth shave. The customer service and communication was outstanding throughout the process of deciding which way to go. I liked the razor so much that I even purchased the Ti stand for the Vector. When...

Love the Titanium Blackbird the design and everything about it is really top tier. HIGH blade feel but I'm fine with it considering how good it is and how efficient.

Stefan S.

Simply Amazing,,, of all the DE's that I've used, this by far is the best for my skin. I tried several even feathers, until I discovered voskhod I'd used for quite awhile I loved the smoothness on that one but then this lab blues came with my blackbird razor so gave it a try, I used it first with my shavette to re shape my goaty and it was a pleasurable experience then I went ahead to use it with my blackbird oh man it was ridiculously comfortable to use way better than voskhod imo. The label "c...

Sriram I.

Passionately designed and precision made product. Pricey but totally worth it. PVD finish was impeccable. Since it was limited run, has some exclusivity. About 3 weeks passed, I now get effortlessly good shaves. This definitely made to my top 3 razors. Was it instantly a magical good shave? No. I struggled to get the angle and pressure right. But it is only my first year after starting wet shaving. So I thought I should try to get technique right rather than blaming the equipment, encouraged ...

The Osprey is a joy to use. Aesthetically, it is a work of art. From an engineering perspective, the razor is extremely well designed and built. And, most importantly, the razor is fun to use. It is efficient, and, even at the higher levels 6, 7, 8, the razor is a silent assassin. This is another wonderful razor from Shane and Blackland.

Osprey

Greg P.

My experience with the Osprey has been largely positive over the past few weeks. Its artistic design appeals to me immensely, making it a joy to use on a daily basis. Experimenting with various blades hasn't presented any issues and the razor is well-balanced, demanding no extra pressure. This is particularly beneficial when using sharp, smooth blades to avoid nicks or cuts. I find myself quite fond of this razor. Nevertheless, there are certain areas that could benefit from improvements. First...

One of the finest the razors ever made please see the video below for a full review. Now to decide which one I will grab for more the Osprey or the vector https://youtu.be/LYW1qTcc2EQ?si=zNgE1fUqayDRMcJH

Augustin Jaime A.

Labor of love & quality of craftsmanship is without question apparent as is with all Blackland products. With the Osprey, there is no middle ground on how it looks. It’s either one will love or hate all together. I’m of the former and I’m smitten by its looks and total aesthetics that meld into functional contemporary/modern art for the shaving aficionado. Performance and usability is the key here and for me it passes with flying colors. Mild to nicely efficient yet still maintaining a nice help...

I was hopeful that the Osprey would come out a little sooner so I could shave my beard with it. I always have a beard in the winter so it will be spring before I get to try it on that. But I have been using it on my head as I shave my head as well and I have to say so far so good. I thought maybe I could get away with doing it every two days but that's not possible if I want a clean cut look. The Osprey was smaller than I thought & that's not a bad thing. It has a nice feel in the hand, and it ...

Sola G.

The Blackbird Lite is my first Blackland razor. Since I have sensitive skin, I knew I cannot handle the original Blackbird, so when I heard of the Lite version I had to get it and it did not disappoint. Some blade feel, and very efficient shave from the Lite. Love it.

Ioan P.

So far I love it. Feeling is different compared to DE razors, I like the AC blades more, because I get no razor burn or irritation. Razor is very nimble, feels good in the hand , is light and maneuverable.i am on the 5th shave so far and is been consistent from the first shave.

Vector PVD Coated

Henry G.

I really didn't like the lite the first time I used it. I have always preferred a mild razor but I have gotten really used to my regular blackbird. After using the lite a few more times I realized it was really nice. It has a lot of the same feel as the blackbird but without getting quite as close. I can shave a little faster and carefree with the lite. I would definitely recommend the lite. Awesome shaver!

Blackbird Lite

Stefan S.

Thank you for sending that lite baseplate by the way. I'm really pleased I'm enjoying it so much this lite version, is really lite but at the same time so efficient, I could almost not feel the blade at times, well done on the geometry. Unlike with the regular one, this one, I could whip it all over my face and neck and still gives a great shave great when you're on the rush, the regular, you need to have sort of a balance approach, pressure angle bit of time that stuff, especially if you're sen...

Started balding a couple of years ago so started shaving my head. I actually had a Gillette heated razor but it really didn’t work that great for me. It was frustrating because it was expensive. So I decided to get a safety razor and I saw good things about Blackbird. Best shave ever. Don’t know how else to say it. For a first timer in the safety razor world I will never go back. Worth every penny and it the Blackbird just looks so damn cool!

This brush feels so good in your hand. Really nice weight. The bristles are super soft and created a nice lather and yet still did an excellent job lifting up the whiskers. Paired beautifully with my new blackbird razor.

Signature Shaving Brush

D S.

I wish anyone who is interested in buying this razor could hold it in their hand prior to purchase. The finishes are amazing. I also appreciated the video that was sent out regarding the first shave. This razor was surprisingly smooth and definitely does all of the work for you. In spite of you warning me that this might not be my best shave ever the first time I use the razor, I had an amazing first shave. All of my shopping and comparison paid off. No regrets.

Blackbird

Todd O.

This brush definitely fits perfectly with any of the Blackbirds. Solid, heavy, construction. It feels like an extra-fat Blackbird handle. If Blackbird does another run of brushes, I hope they do it with a much larger brush part.

I really like shaving with the ERA. Its a smooth no hassle shave. I have all the open comb plates plus level 1 and 2 of the closed comb. Unfortunately by the time I decided to order the other closed comb plates were sold out but the open comb plates give an enjoyable shave and opened me up to the world of open comb razors. The ERA was my first Blackland purchase and so glad I stumbled upon Blackland Razors.

Era

Mike M.

Definitely a closer shave than the closed comb which the alum block tells me is true. A very comfortable shave but I will be using the closed comb more than the open comb. The open comb is good for the fine hairs on the head. I bought this one to have a match to the long handle closed comb to have a set of the PVD coated Blackbirds. Still not sure if I like one handle over the other yet. I do enjoy my Blackland razors.

This is my most expensive purchase on a safty razor, but it's worth every cent. Vector is an extremely well made se razor. The experience to shave with it is very different than any other de or se razor, I think its more like a straight razor. Useing Vector is easy, smooth and efficient. I really recommend it and Im thankful for Blackland.

Steven V.

I have two other SE razors (Claymore Evolution and RazoRock Hawk v3 with both standard and A base plates) plus over 100 double edge vintage Gillette razors. And this Vector Ti is now my favorite razor. It's a marvel of engineering where every aspect has been carefully analyzed and implemented. And this applies to truly tiny head, ingenious blade coupling mechanism, firm blade grip with minimal blade exposure for chatter, and a lot more. It's truly fascinating what Shane and team have accompl...

It’s very comfortable razor, incredible sweetness. I have about 25 razors more expansive, but now Era is my favorite with level 3. I bought also level 4 for efficient shave.

Smooth and Effective! I actively use 4-5 razors and some of them are considered high end (including Blackbird Ti); this is my go to razor right from the first shave given it works efficiently for me and is intuitive to use. Have tried 2 blades and both worked well (Nacet and Astra SP). Transition from Stainless steel razor to Ti razor was seamless, didn't change anything significantly. Also, Blackland customer service is super helpful, I exchanged few notes and got helpful tips from Shane. This...

Steven M.

My two Blackbirds are both superb. The Titanium has the edge in its nimbleness and the SS has a slight edge in the length of time my face remains BBS. I shave daily and both razors are great for daily shaves. No other razor that I own can make my neck as smooth as the Blackbirds. Both are winners and I am having trouble definitively picking my first choice. Possibly the Titanium for its nimbleness, but both are can't miss choices. The reputation of the Blackbird being an aggressive and "da...

Excellent! Love the razor! Small learning curve for me with the angle under my neck. But other than that fantastic shaves. Any suggestions for the neck angle I would be happy to hear them ! Excellent craftsmanship! Like a piece of alien technology from another universe! Great job on build quality!

I am 4 shaves in and it has become my favorite razor so far. Have been reading the reviews of the blackbird for awhile and thought if the right sale came along I would get one. Well the PVD coating did it. Nice looking razor and no sting at all with the alum block. So glad I took the chance and ordered it even without the 30 day trial period. I was going to order a black one but by the time I talked myself into ordering one the black was sold out. The gold one is nice also, just thought black fo...
