Phenomenal. I was a bit leary going into this shave with a new razor that I wanted to give a fair trial run, I hadn't shaved in maybe a week and my beard was getting thick. My wife even asked me if I was growing a beard.

Normally I'd use my iKon B1 Standard for a shave as such but I wanted to put the Blackland Blackbird to test.
The first thing I noticed was how well the blade sat on the cap, no movement at all. I went with the 101mm handle and I love it! I had no problems finding the proper cutting angle as it was a natural feel. I did after my second pass take the razor apart to clean the hair off the blade, that's how long my beard was

the razor did not clog or need to be disassembled I wanted to clean the blade. Can you say OCD... 3 pass shave. I don't like using BBS very often, I feel its overplayed. Today's shave was BBS. I could not have asked for a better piece of shaving hardware to use. @
ShaneS you nailed it! @
Troy M you sold me! The BB is phenomenal! I can't wait to shave tomorrow.
I really needed this shave today, you'd be surprised what it did for my ailing injury.
I also shaved my head, first pass was with the BB, and finished with my Gillette Atra.
Never let the things you WANT
Make you forget the things you HAVE!
