    Should be in November. Guaranteed Shane will keep us posted. He has been awesome about communicating.

    They are great razors. I love mine.

    Order a polished open comb base plate today! Can't wait just to receive my razor, let alone the OC. I hope to get it for the Thanksgiving holiday. What a way to celebrate and enjoy the time off!

    Did anyone else order the OC? What kind did you order? Is anyone thinking about mixed the finishes of their razor? I think it might look cook to have a black razor with the polished OC? Does anyone have a combo like this with the closed comb? If yes, post some pics? Thanks.

    I think the black handle with the polished head would look good as well. I also think the black head and machined handle would look good.

    I just ordered an open comb baseplate. I'm excited!

    Edit to add: I ordered the black oxide plate.

    I had to go for the black oxide oc plate to match my black oxide razor.

    I really like how the 'patina' is developing. It gives the razor a real industrial tool look.

    I'm a bit slow getting my OC on order. Just returned from being out of town and just getting caught up.

    looking forward to seeing how the OC compares to the original Blackbird head.

    I'm about to get a blackbird black oxide razor head, and I need a handle. Do they only come in one size?

    As far as I know, new orders are 85 mm only.

    You won't regret this. It is the best DE I have ever used.

    Waiting on my polished SB and OC plate, love my black oxide despite the little drag.

    I ordered one because so many people have said the same thing. I hope it's as good as everyone says it is. I was fortunate enough to get one of the 70mm handles reserved. I can't wait to try it out.

    I just received the shipping notice for the black open comb plate! I can't wait (but I guess I must!) If it is half as good as I expect it to be, I may never shave with a closed comb again! Between the BB and my NEW LC & SC, why shave with anything else?

    Feel free to add me to the list!! Yay!!

    I was able to get an original Kickstarter black land blackbird long handle (101mm) black oxide razor. It came with the tin case, blades, a custom stand, and a stand holder with a backup special holder. I love it!!

    I had both a long and short handle originally. After a lot of use I determined that I much prefer the long.

    I have the long 101mm handle, but I am considering also getting the 85mm.

    Me too. (Over the 70mm handle. Haven't tried the 85mm).

    ...And I think it looks better with a longer handle.

    Just stalked the tracking number for my open comb plate. Delivery prediction was updated to today! Can I wait until 4 p.m. to shave? I think so!

    Mine was delivered today too. The original delivery date was next Wednesday, so I was pleasantly surprised when it came today.
