My GRAIL RAZOR appeared… after EIGHT YEARS at B&B and DE Shaving.

The same thing popped into my head. I see a space to put stuff into. Glow in the dark handle would be cool, or fill with oil and glitter, luminous powder, etc.
I also prefer the OC Blackbird to the SB counterpart. I held off from buying and then trying it because I feared discomfort from the pointy looking guards. But I didn’t notice any discomfort during a shave and the increased efficiency is appreciated.
I have found my grail razor, a Ti Bird (safety bar) and have not disposed of any razors.
The Ti Bird is used at home most days I’m home. On my late wife’s birthday and our anniversary I use an A4 Red Tip from her birth quarter. I use a C4 Flare Tip Superspeed on my birthday as it is from my birth quarter.
On trips, I use my SS Bird which is always in my travel kit and is my second favorite razor.
I also have a travel kit left at a friends for the one or two nights a week that I stay there. This is my variety kit. I use the same razor for the life of the blade which is 4 shaves for most blades, 3 for Feathers and 8 for SS PTFE Gem blades.
This works for me. The Ti Bird gets most shaves but I also keep some variety with a dose of sentimentality thrown in.
Let me see, I have a grail razor for when I shave everyday, one for when I shave every other day, another grail razor for when I wait four days between shaves, a grail razor for just my neck, a grail razor for my birthday, a grail razor for when I want to use a very special grail razor, and then I have a bucket of techs for when I just want a great shave.

Some people are fad chasers, other have self control, know there is no grail. Bet the guy who holds any record, someone is always chasing to beat it.
Babe Ruth was HR King, for decades. Now Bades record is not a big deal, broken many thing last 20 - 30 years.

Go to the local dragstrip and walk through the pits during their weekly event sometime. Some guys just throw money at their cars hoping they will go faster, some have to have the latest trick part they think will make their car go faster. Some have the prettiest cars, but never get them off the trailer. And some guys have it figured out, spend very little and win all the time.
Shaving gear is no different. Shiny is always better!

Cal can now style himself Sir Percical.
"And after seven peaceful years, Percical went off to live as a hermit in the woods, where he died shortly after."

Fantastic photos!
Heavy head with very light handle is an interesting paring to me. I am excited that you have found a Wonderful combo.
Enjoy!!

I also prefer open comb. Though for the Lupo, I think I prefer the solid bar.

Blackbird DC would be my idea. Though there are quite some people who really don't like dual comb plates.

One of the quite some people here, just the thought of DCs makes me mad.
Of course, people who love them are more than welcome to them.
Now I know what the world needs... a dual comb SLANT razor! 
it might provide BBS everytime for the ones who can get pass how it looks.Now I know what the world needs... a dual comb SLANT razor!
I have found my grail or holy grial years ago, I just have a hard time restraining myself from collecting amazing looking razors!
I seem to have rotating grail razors. I’ve even enjoyed a few razors I’ve had sitting around for months, begging to be tried. I’m whittling down that list: three down in September to be sure.
Why not a dual comb adjustable slant?Now I know what the world needs... a dual comb SLANT razor!
