Hi All, I’m a Wet Shaver, a Story Weaver, a Banker, a Melody Maker, a Manic Traveler and a Food Lover. I’m a proud Singaporean and the three cities that are closest to my heart are Melbourne, Wellington and Osaka.

I shifted to Wet Shaving with DE Safety Razors in 2020 after a decade of bumps, ingrown hair issues and razor burn with my cartridge Razors, was the best decision I ever made. Since then it has been a journey of sorts with that search for a perfect razor leading to owning a few Razors and researching others experiences with them. The search is unending, expensive and a pure joy.

The reason I joined this group was mainly due the fantastic reviews by Errol and the wit of Speedy. The rest of the members here rock as well with their experiences and sharing them. Couldn’t think of another Shaving Community where I would feel more at home.

My favorite Razors are -
1. The Blackland Blackbird
2. The Razorock Game Changer .84-P
3. The Rockwell 6 S ( My First DE, so kept it for Sentimental Value)
4. The Lupo 95
5. The Razorock Wunderbar
6. The Parker Variant OC

Happy to be a part of Ya’all.

@Sleem Buddy, I do love the Blackbird much. I had the SS version but landed up giving it to a mate. Someday, someday soon I will get a Blackbird Ti. The day I got my Stando Chors and the Aylsworth Apex SS, I found myself reaching less for the Blackbird. Having said that, I had used it exclusively for a long period of time before that as my daily driver. Beautiful Razor.

Now, I'm just waiting for @SpeedyPC to sell off his Blackbird, he's moving over to Straight razors. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Hi Bladerunner, thx for message mate.
Turns out Blackbird is just too much razor for me. Definitely appreciate a milder shave. I appreciate better quality razors for their superior clamping & blade alignment.
I would love to try Blutt .86 & thinking specs maybe more suited to my liking.
