My new blackbird ti lite arrived earlier this afternoon and it was love at first shave. The blackbird hype is real and deserved.
I’ve been a wet shaver for more than 10 years, and I consider myself a very unskilled shaver, or poor shaver. With very sensitive skin, and never mastering DE shaving. I used a oneblade stainless steel exclusively for years, getting decent shaves consistently but always missing DEs.
My first shave was incredibly comfortable and smooth, without irritation. And I went all in with 3 passes and buffing to achieve bbs.
The razor is beautiful, and well made. The weight, balance feels just right.
Blackland has won a new fan.

Is the blade angle similar to a Muhle r89? They appear similar heads to my untrained eye.
Hi, can anyone compare the Lite plate to the regular plate for titanium and stainless steel? I've heard that the Lite plate is not efficient on stainless steel but it is on titanium and I'm confused.
I can only say of brass and titanium Lite plates, that both have similar efficiency to original plates, with lower facial impact.
I would expect that if the material were that important, the stainless would gall between titanium and the denser brass.
You could put a lite ti plate with a stainless cap and handle.
They share the exact same geometry and the only difference is material/weight.
I have the stainless steel lite. Its very efficient for my needs 1-2 days growth. I would assume the titanium is just a material difference. Maybe a weight difference. Titanium is lighter than steel but also more durable. But I don't forsee any issues with the Stainless steel. I break it down rinse and let it dry everytime I use it just like any of my other razors.
The reduced weight makes the razor even smoother and more maneuverable. You have complete control with the razor since there is virtually no weight adding pressure. Titanium also glides better.
Bar none, the Ti Lite is the finest shaver I have ever used.

I definitely was not expecting this razor to blow my mind the way it did.
