    youngunn Where's my TSD aftershave balm???

    Do the polished ones require continuous polishing, or is it lacquered or something?

    I still like the looks of the black, but also the raw machine shop look of the satin, and now the classy polished....... Maybe I order all three?

    ;-)

    I have not had to polish mine yet as it looks same as the day i received it. I do baby it after each use by using a soft bristle toothbrush to clean any soap off and then rinse and buff dry with a soft towel.
    I am however going to put a coat of
    Renaissance Wax Polish on mine soon, this wax/polish is very popular with straight razor users and also custom knife makers, firearms collectors etc.

    I already have Renaissance Wax Polish that i use regularly on firearms so i figured i'd put a very light coat on my polished Blackbird .. i know it's not neccessary but figure it will keep it super shiny for quite some time.

    Beautiful.. :happy088:

    The coolest thing about having the Black Oxide finish is my razor doesn't look like anyone else's, each one has its own unique characteristics.

    I'm tempted to try the black oxide myself. Will wait for the rounded edges in the next batch :)

    @ssultan : that picture with the Simpson's box reflecting in the cap, might be the coolest shaving pic I have ever seen. Great job!

    I've spent the last 3 days trying out a Fatboy. It is a good razor. In fact, I would say it is a great razor. However, I can't find the appropriate adjective to describe how much better the Blackbird is for my face and scalp. I've never been one to throw around the Baby Bottom Smooth term in regards to my shaves, but I can honestly say that the ONLY razor that has gotten me close to that is the Blackbird. To me, this is a RAD killer. All of my other razors will be going to the back of the drawer and may never see the light of day until my sons find them when they are going through my stuff after I am gone.

    Yes, it is that good.

    Great early morning shave with The Blackbird and some Stirling Limes. Still the best razor I have ever tried.
