Would you still consider your BB Ti still your GOAT? Do you have the polished or satin version? I’m thinking about getting the Ti version and like the look of the polished but afraid it will show scratches easier than the satin.
Nice review Jon ! Yet to try the BB but I really have been smitten by the Overlander SS. 5 months of daily use and it's killed off any RAD... At least for now.. 😜
Glad I was able to grab this razor at a killer deal! I know why its been your GOAT 2 years running! And I think I'm going to go team lightweight razor now, its just more forgiving when you forget and apply too much pressure, which I think is much more important w/ these high blade feel razors. Definitely would classify the blackbird as high blade feel... I think the Karve D/E is mid. And glad you enjoy Siam! Great video as always
I found the BB to provide the closest shave of all the razors I've tried (using Kia blades). I bought the Ti after using the SS and will keep the Ti instead of the SS. To me the lower weight makes a big difference.
Great video, glad to know that there was so many similarities between the two. What do you think of the Blackbird compared to the Tatara Muramasa, I'm not sure if you've ever done of review of the Muramasa or had the chance to try it.
It will really depend on the beard growth of the person, but for me, it'll shave one weeks growth with ease. I've never really gone without a shave for two weeks, so I can't speak to that.
@@Latherhog it says beef tallow in the ingredients it cant be vegan. Im guessing he is recycling the label but it's definitely misleading for vegetarians and vegans alike.
I have the Blackbird Lite and I think to buy only the "Original" plate Ti. Handle and top cap SS and only base plate Ti. Do you used this combination? How is the shave?
Thank you Jon. I’m really glad you enjoyed Siam and Thank you BLou for your recommendation. Have a great weekend!
My pleasure Peter, great scent, thanks for watching!
I echo your observations between the two razors Jon. It’s the weight that’s the magic it seems for sure!
Nice shaving. I really cherish this Siam.
Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks Xerxes, and glad to hear you’re enjoying that SS Overlander!!
To keep track of shaves per blade I bought some dice and keep one next to the razor to flip over each time I shave.

Thanks Ben for the Siam recommendation and glad you are on board the Blackbird train ;)
Interesting comparison. The Blackbird Ti is amazing. Haven't used the SS version. Siam also a nice scent!
Thanks for watching, Steve!

My experience is pretty much the same, glad you're enjoying the TiBird!
Nice one Jon! I have the SS. I may need to try the Ti one day.
Have you had the chance to use the Blackbird Lite base plate? If so, how does it compare to the regular plate?
He made a video on it: th-cam.com/video/1FtLOzsLtno/w-d-xo.html
Yes, I have a separate video for it if you're curious! The Lite has less blade feel and efficiency compared to the original plate.
Great video, glad to know that there was so many similarities between the two. What do you think of the Blackbird compared to the Tatara Muramasa, I'm not sure if you've ever done of review of the Muramasa or had the chance to try it.
Have you ever been able to try either of the Lambda razors? There are other posters comparing it to the Blackbird.
I haven't tried any razors from Lambda, do you know which one was said to be similar to the Blackbird?
@@Latherhog The Athena for smoothness, the Ares for efficiency, but only slightly more than the Athena.
I've been using the Ti, and was worried about the handle being slippery (shower shaver), but somehow it gets more grippy when wet!
Great to hear it works well in the shower!
How would the Blackbird titanium shave one or two weeks of growth?
It will really depend on the beard growth of the person, but for me, it'll shave one weeks growth with ease. I've never really gone without a shave for two weeks, so I can't speak to that.
So theres an error on the label ? I hope it is because if its vegan it can't contain beef tallow
There’s no error on the label, Siam is in the VR1 Vegan base.
@@Latherhog it says beef tallow in the ingredients it cant be vegan. Im guessing he is recycling the label but it's definitely misleading for vegetarians and vegans alike.
My apologies, I didn't realize you were talking about the ingredients list itself!
@@Latherhog it would be great if the artisan can clear the error up
No more DE purchases for me at this point in my life. However those are both beauties. Siam does sound like a killer scent.
I have the Blackbird Lite and I think to buy only the "Original" plate Ti.
Handle and top cap SS and only base plate Ti. Do you used this combination?
How is the shave?
I think mixing the metals would miss the whole benefit of the Ti version, which is the change in weight from the SS.
