New Blackland Sabre 2024

You've got it!

I’m going to shift some funds around for this. I held off on the version 1 closeout deals in anticipation of new and groovy.

@J349 maybe try the "old" Sabre with other handles if you are looking for something inbetween the Sabre and Vestige?

I did, a lighter handle with a better form to use it shallow really made the experience more natural and comfortable, but I have a “thing” about mixing handles. If the new version addresses this I know I’m good because I really liked the shave of the Sabre.

The razor comes with both inserts, 4 levels.

Thanks P.

Interesting design, although that rather large lather channel splitter might prove to be an issue with longer growth.
Would be interesting to try.

I'm so glad that some designers are going for reasonable weights. Once razors got over 100g they get to be quite chonky and some are too heavy. I don't use the stock handle with my Sabre for that reason, just way too heavy. The GEM size already decreases the maneuverability, so a little less weight helps offset that.

Not too much for me but try the Sabre on a Vector handle. Reminds me of a heavier AD Vestige.

The market has definitely shifted away from heavy razors over the last couple of years. When the Sabre came out, heavy razors were very popular so we followed suit. The popularity of titanium along with lightweight designs like the Vector have helped push things toward maneuverability over weight and I think that's a great thing.

I do still really like my Sabre though! And my Osprey too!

In my opinion, the most chonky razor is the Green Cult. Way too heavy to shave with.

Looks like this is in the home stretch.

I like the look of this. If the price with the stand is reasonable*, I may** treat myself.

Yeah, I’m pretty much in the same place

$260 with both flippable safety bars, not bad. But I guess the stand is almost a must.
