Machined finish now joins polished.

How is the shave?

How is the shave?

Only used the polished so far, both SB and OC. Both plates are smooth with only minimal feel of the teeth on the OC. As a daily shaver for the most part, I prefer the extra smoothness the SB gives.

@Blackland Razors any plans to release an aluminium or titanium Vector in the near future?

You asked, Shane has delivered. Titanium Vector is going to be available in the coming months.

That will be one light razor!

The Vector in SS is already a relatively light razor. Not sure I'd want this in Ti. I've found there's a weight below which it becomes almost toy-like in feel. The latest Carbon Ti/Carbon Fibre with Web baseplate is only 30g, lighter than an aluminium Karve. A great achievement in design, no question, but functionality goes backwards, IMO.

I very much agree

Yep the Vector Ti will be unnecessarily light, to be sure. But let’s not make assumptions about the performance of a razor that doesn’t exist. We’ll find out soon enough.

My apologies, Shane, for a post that came across as derogatory. My comments were based towards Ti razors in general and not specifically related to the yet to appear Vector.

Any chance of bringing individual plates to the UK via your stockists @Blackland Razors?

No need to apologize at all! Just trying to prevent preconceived thoughts from tainting perception later on.

Possible, yes. Probably not in the super near future.

Machined finish now joins polished.

I really like this machined look.

I actually prefer the machined finish over the polish. Easy maintenance, too.

Brass Blackbird stand please
