Blackbird blade chatter

I thought the blackbird had lots of blade chatter at first, but then I started shaving with a shallower angle and it got very smooth with no chatter.

MIM or CNC?

More on this later.

I know you mentioned SS earlier on, but I'm not opposed to billet aluminum!

Good to know, but this train left the station long ago.

Was able to pick up the Blackbird Ti and put it through the rounds the last week or so. Just wanted to quickly comment that I didn't notice any blade chatter whatsoever. I don't have particularly thick growth, but the razor cuts smoothly and cleanly. Still prefer the Dart, but if anyone's concerned about blade chatter, I didn't experience anything of the sort.

I don’t notice any blade chatter either in either ss or ti. Never have. The handle screws pretty far into the head and the blade seems rigidly clamped to me.

Looking forward to what Shane comes up with next.
