    Ah and then it's time to make some whisky-petroleum soap?

    The campaign has ended with $23,596 raised! This has been a hell of a ride and I couldn't be more thankful for all the support. I'm looking forward to shipping out some beautiful razors and starting the next chapter of Blackland.

    Titanium brush handle much along the rubberset 400 lines, but with a slight twist to the fluted section of the handle, reminiscent of a turbine????

    A very nice piece, I must say. I'm sure it is the only razor, which has a design, inspired by a fighter plane.

    Now that is a sweet idea. Unsure of the feasibility, but worth looking into.

    Since you brought it up, I have been playing around with a brush design in my spare time. Maybe not as cool as a titanium turbine handle, but it's made to mimic the looks of the Blackbird's handle.

    Thank you! I'm thrilled to have you on board. Just peeked at your bio and noticed that you're 22. It's awesome to see another wet shaver in his 20s. No offense to all the great guys around here who might be just a hair older :).

    I saw that video from TSE and I'm sold on it. I am a huge sucker for sharp lines and a black finish. This thing checks all my boxes. I think it will be a perfect compliment to my standard razor. Can't wait to see what you come up with next
