    Kinda looks interesting. They say half the blade feel or the original.

    Wow…interesting chart. I am playing with the thought of buying the Lite one day. I like my regular SS Blackbird, but it’s not Love. It is a great shaver, but the last bit is missing, to give this razor my complete heart. Curious about the first reviews of the Lite here.

    I love my original Blackbird, but I can't use Feathers in it, or the recommended Lab Blues. It's a tad bit too efficient for that.

    It would be interesting to try a Blackbird where that isn't the case.

    I just bought it and waiting to receive the shipment, may I ask why you can't use Feathers?

    I can, I just don't like to. The Original Blackbird is a fairly aggressive/efficient razor with a bit of blade feel. I like Feathers in milder razors.
