Hi Halvor, I spoke with Shane on Wednesday and I’ll paste his emails below.Some serious mulling going on here. I certainly don't need one, but I do want one... I'm not a blingbling magpie, generally and are usually perfectly happy with machined finish, aesthetically speaking. However, the question is if the additional $30 are worth it thanks to less drag? What's the experience, gentlemen?
Also, Rob @Blackmass, you were thinking to send yours back for polishing. Your issue was with the sharp corners/edges, right? So has Shane said that polishing will help in that department too?
And an 'after shave' in the same sense as 'after ski', I note Weiss of some sort?View attachment 6576
My first shave and thoughts on the Blackbird Oc.
I'm not much of a reviewer, so this is only my thought on the BB Oc.
I will start saying that this is a serious Razor It is or feels more agressive then the solid bar and is more efficient too, but not in a bad way!
I've had a 3 days of growth on my face and head, and it just did a Superb job of removing the stubble! I did pay a good amount of attention when shaving with it, and it rewarded me with a super close and comfortable shave. I just feel so fresh and cleen right now
Fror me the BB is a superb Razor and I think I like the Oc better then the Sb, but I need some more shaves with it to decide......
I am Definitely realy happy with the Oc and have to say that the wait was Worth it!!

I only have two OC, the Timeless oc .68 and BB OC.In terms of face feel, given that the blade is held super tight, what is the closest OC type head that you would associate the BB OC too, feel more of the teeth edge than the blade?
Is it 'teethy' like the R2 and Wolfman OC, where you feel more of the teeth edges than the blade on the face? Usually being more angular in shape. Or is it smooth like the Timeless?
Having polished my own SB and top cap I can only imagine that polishing the OC must be a real bugger.Anyone heard any more news regarding the blackland polished OC?
