Brush: Alpha Shaving Works Kryten Ti 28mm UHD Manchurian
Razor: Blackland Vector Ti :love:
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (1)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Shaver Heaven Spiced Mahogany - cheers @mark123abc0
Post: @SpeedyPC Homemade A/S Splash // Sukin Hydration Biomarine Facial Serum // B&M Lime, Lavender, Cedarwood A/S Splash
WTG, ATG, Touchups = BBS+

What can I say other than best shave of 2021 so far if not best shave ever!!! Well worth the investment & wait as this beauty makes shaving truly effortless as its literally a blade on a stick and I expect even better results once I manage to get some true practice as first attempt using an AC style razor... Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

I'll admit I was kinda hesitant as the thing literally weights a feather but boy does it shave so close as the design allows you to whizz it across the face and the AC blade delivered a closer shave than I'd get using a DE.
Certain worthy of the praise as I can easily see this becoming my daily shaver as quicker and efficient shave than when using my DE razors. The only other razor I've used that felt this way was the WR1 but the Vector is a joy to use... Cheers mate! (y)

I believe @Gargravarr owns the SS version and in honesty I don't really think the 5g difference in weight or materials would alter the shave, whereas Shane of Blackland states the Blackbird Titanium shaves smoother compared with SS???
I believe SS should be available later this year but the fluctuations in material costs has delayed production and the upcoming Era has taken priority but well worth a look in early 2022 when stocks get replenished as its truly that good a shaver!

Does this mean the Vector is now getting its own appreciation thread? :D

Don't get me wrong Rocca will always be King but from first use I can see why it gets such rave reviews as the simplicity and nimble design makes shaving fun and having AC blades allows you too tweek with aggression more than a traditional DE blade.
If only Shane could restock the SS as well worth a look at if you're after a smooth, efficient daily shaver (y) YMMV

The difference in weight is a lot more than 5g. My SS version is 94g, over twice the weight of your Ti razor at 44.5g. Mine is still a lightweight though, especially as it's so nicely balanced.

I'll be interested to find out if the Ti razor really gives a smoother shave. Maybe the opportunity will arise next year... :unsure:

(y) I think you better take one for the team and compare Ti and SS
