Blackland Thursday!

SOTD:
Razor: Blackbird Lite Ti
Blade: New Lord Platinum (3)
Pre-Shave: Proraso Green
Soap: Proraso White
Brush: Omega Evo 2.0
Aftershave: Old Spice Original
My third shave was the best with my Blackbird Lite Ti. I get why some folks love the Lite. It offers a better than a presentable shave. It's hard to notice the difference in closeness from the Blackbird. It is there. If you find razors with more gap and blade exposure unsuitable for a daily driver, this is the razor for you. It's a razor you can put on cruise control and shave. Me? I'll take the Blackbird with edge. I love the thrill of getting extra close.
Cheers

Very nice shave combined with one of my favorite aftershaves. I am posting this on Monday, I am sorry, just could not delay this till Thursday. And would probably notice that I have forgotten to post it on Friday.

SOTD:
Razor: Blackbird Ti OC
Blade: Suneko (3)
Pre-Shave: Proraso Green
Soap: Van Der Lovett Dutch Blue
Brush: Omega Evo 2.0
Aftershave: Reuzel Wood and Spice
The shave with my Blackbird Ti OC was great. It shaves like a Blackbird. The Suneko blade is OK. It's nothing to write home about. It will be delegated to be used if I ever run out. That will be sometime in the year 4024. I find them smooth enough. They can be tuggy in a certain hard-to-shave spot. I have to get the right angle of attack to shave that area. The amount of stubble they remove in a pass is sub-par. I love my Lord and Gillette blades. I bet the Blackbird Ti OC would take off using any of them.
Cheers

I just put the Blackbird next to the sink so that I don't pick another razor tonight by accident.
