Blackland Vector - Polished version

[inspectoring]

I had this razor sometime ago, but at the same time got Paradigm SE and ended up returning it.
Now that the polished version is available - I had to get it again.

My prior impression of Vector was that it was VERY easy to maneuver around the face and was very efficient yet mild.


My question - would polished version shave any different than unpolished version?

 

[Theodore]

Having had both - what’s your opinion? Did you notice a difference?

Edit - wait, have you received the polished one yet?

 

[inspectoring]

No - just placed the order on Saturday- but , I can’t help but talk about my incoming new razor

Ha ha, you sound like me. I would think that the polished one would be slicker.

Can't wait for the comparative reviews!

so I got mine today -will be shaving with it in AM..
Did anyone else get theirs?

Waiting for me on the breakfast nook table...... Excellent quality polish. No regrets on getting a 2nd Vector.

Only issue I’m having at the moment is fighting the temptation to break the Fixed 4 For March Madness event and get my shave on with this baby.....

 

[inspectoring]

So I got mine and used it for the first time!!!
It definitely shaved better than the unpolished version, IMHO.

BTW - it also is very mild yet efficient and yet is different than Paradigm

 

[Theodore]

Very interesting! In what manner did it shave better than the unpolished version?

 

[Cino]

I'm not happy about this. Don't want to buy another razor!

Tell me about it! I’ve got the razor in hand and can’t shave with this beauty. I’m in the FixedFourForMarchMadness event (FFFMM) at least until the end of March. It’s a slow death...

 

[Neffarious]

March is over, Shave on!

 

[GlazedBoker]

March is over, Shave on!

Wish I could but, I let a fellow shave forum member get a few shaves in with it. All good though, once it comes back, it’s on.....

Maiden voyage this morning with the polished Vector. One of the most intuitive, irritation-free BBS shaves in my memory. I’ll drive it several more laps around, but my first impression is; wow!

Nice! Is it your first SE? Or do you have comparables?

Couldn't agree more. I've been travelling with mine and its exquisite every time to where I am evaluating my others as I am really spoiled now

I’ve used and own the ATT SE2, the Paradigm Ti, Asylum SE, and various injectors extensively. It’s as efficient as the ATT, but much smoother; it’s as smooth as the Paradigm, but more efficient; it’s just superior to the Asylum in every facet; it’s as simple and as intuitive as my injectors, but much more efficient.

It’s vastly more maneuverable than all. Finally, it’s just a gorgeous razor.

Again, only one spin yet, but I’m excited about this one.

Wow! That sheds a lot more light on your perspective. Very interesting. Thanks for posting. What's your blade of choice?

Mostly Schick Proline with the occasional Feather Pro Super throw in to test my attentiveness.

I couldn't agree more on all accounts!
