Looking for dark or black razors

So I really love the look of a dark finished razor. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

 

Fatip has gunmetal offerings. They're pretty, but I can't recommend one in good faith.

 

And why is that?

 

Well, anything can be painted. Some folks are doing black chrome. There is duracoat and cheracoat. Lots of opportunities.

 

Gillette "contract" 3 piece razors. Made under contract for the military during WW II. Came with either a black metal or bakelite handle and a silver or black head.

 

Working on a review...ive had it for a few weeks now.

 

I like the look of Delta Echo razors. I don't know how well they age, just like the looks.

 

Those are gorgeous! Bookmarked!

 

Jay at Delta Echo does incredible work. I highly recommend.

 

The Standard Razor comes in black. http://standardrazors.com/products/standard-razors

 

I have a Standard In Black, not a bad shaver at all. I got it from Bespoke Post for $45 with New York Shaving Company's shaving cream, and a Gentleman Jon alum block! Not sure if this box is currently being offered but they have brought it back a few times.

 

How about a Gillette black beauty

 

Personally, I love my gunmetal Fatip, all though I hear the quality control can be quite poor on the razors. Especially when it comes to blade alignment. Luckily, I never have to fiddle with the blade in mine, it's perfect every time. I've been very impressed with the quality for the price. My Merkur 23C is just sitting in dust now because I see little reason to use it, unless I want a milder shave. The best part about the Fatip is that it's all brass. I love it so much that I may pick up the closed comb Testina Gentile.

As someone who is relatively new to wet shaving, though, I will say it took me about three months to get my technique down. I've gotten lots of nicks and cuts with the thing because it isn't the most forgiving razor. But that comes down to user error. Aggressive razors aren't for everyone.

 

Well - there's the Blackland Blackbird of course (you should be able to tell the color by the name )

Cheaper options: The BBNY Satin Black (looks like a Mühle R89 clone), the Weishi 9306 black, both available at Amazon

Partially black: The Merkur 30c, Edwin Jagger/Mühle with black handle, Parker 96 - or vintage: Gillette Super Speed Black Handle, Schick Krona

iKon offers black heads, you'd have to find a black handle for them

And then there's the soon-to-be-available AlumiGoose, but that's not a DE razor.

I'm sure I forgot quite a few others here

 

I just remembered ... the spanish Ssseygus razor

 

Thick a blackland is a bit out of my price range at the moment. Maybe I can find a used one at a good price

 

Now that's clean

 

I actually already have a gunmetal weishi, I like it a lot. I was looking at the BBNY, but it seems the coating doesn't last very long

 

Just ordered a holy black sr71. Seems they definitely got the name idea from blackland, but looks like a great razor nonetheless. Thanks for bringing it up
