That is a good call!The Blackland Blackbird killed my RAD years ago.
Occasionally the Blackland Vector or the Teadalus AC come out to play, but I always go back to the Blacbird.
I have this set too. The Wilkinson Sword Royale mk2 around 1986 to 1989...Hehe!

I do, however this time I only want one, the trouble is I cannot for the life of me put my finger on which one it is. The two stand outs in my mind at the moment are, The Blackbird and The Pils. I remember The Pils being very angle dependant but when you got it right it shaved me really well. If I did ever get one again I'd send the handle for knurling though.Why is just one never enough?
You know @wayne_m that your new "the one" will in time lead to another "the one" ... and then the damn things just keep on breeding. Haha! You must know the cycle by now!
Yeah, it blew me away when I used it with the Leaf. I just didn't pick up any of my other razors. It just has that one flipping thing wrong with it. I wish they'd make a two blade version with a smaller head.Tbh your twig is pretty hard to beat, you chose a nice razor to settle on.
I know the Tech isn't for me mate, far too mild, I had the Carbon and sold it on. The Dart/Rocca were too aggressive for a trouble free shave.Mongoose’s are pretty hard to find now and you’d have to be quick to nab it. Not that I agree with that choice..
As you know Wayne I’m no newbie and I’ve had similar experiences to yourself.
Of the ones mentioned above that I can speak about. A Tech is definitely not for you
The Blackbird I’ve just tried my fifth one
The Velocity is a very good shave but the QC isn’t up to the price unfortunately.
I’ve started selling off my small hoard in favour of the Ti Carbon CX ++, game changer.
Could be what you’re looking for
Very efficient but safe as houses with lovely feedback.
You’ve probably tried the S/S as had I in both + and ++, I didn’t fall for them, this is different
Well I have a super cheap one but long handleI know the Tech isn't for me mate, far too mild, I had the Carbon and sold it on. The Dart/Rocca were too aggressive for a trouble free shave.
I remember the Charcoal Brass I had was nice, I'll struggle to get one of those again. I'm leaning towards the Blackbird I think.
