The Vector is a modern three-piece safety razor that uses single-edge Artist Club-style blades. It is designed, machined, and finished in the United States. We made the Vector in response to the bulky, heavy, and unbalanced Artist Club razors that have entered the market in the last few years. While Artist Club blades perform exceptionally well, the razor platform has left much to be desired. The long cutting edge of the blade aids in removing large swathes of hair in a single pass, but that size also makes it easy to make an overly hefty razor head.
To solve this problem we took the same approach that has worked so well in the Blackland Sabre. The threaded post has been modified to allow the Artist Club blade to slide over it, allowing the razor head to be as small as possible. How small? While other stainless steel Artist Club razors have heads that weigh close to 50g, the Vector head is a featherweight at just 17g. And the Vector head is less than half as wide from front to back as the others. Additionally, the Vector head is centred over the handle providing perfect balance rather than being front-heavy like the competition.

I really like this razor. It provides an excellent no hassle shave. This brush is also one of my favorites. The soap could come in a larger container for my liking, however, it works great. The aftershave has a full bodied scent.
