Blackland announces new Tradere Razors

new version looks so much nicer

Things look like they are progressing well. Thanks for the update Shane.

I have 1st generation OC and 2nd generation SB. I decided to keep them since they are first modern safety razors.

I highly recommend you to have one more SB improved model which is more aggressive than original 2nd generation. To make it more efficient.
Since with SB, I cannot get blade feeling that is good but the effectiveness is so low. Effectiveness is much less than RS10A, CG LVL2 and WR1 .74. It is a mild razor. Hope you will make one more aggressive SB model, too.

OC one is pretty efficient but it is not that smooth. Tonne of blade feeling. If you create one more OC model and improve its smoothness and less blade feeling, it will be perfect.

Traderes are very nice razors but I honestly prefer Raw, Charcoal, Wolfman more.
Hope you will do some updates over original models, too. Might be in future after first Blackland/Tradere release....

Wouldn't this just be a Gen 1 SB and a Gen 2 OC?

1st generation is only OC up to 200s,
2nds are OC and SB

Scientific is saying that if you want a new SB that ramps up the aggressiveness then you’re basically making an SB version of the Gen1. And a toned down version of Gen1 OC is a lot like a Gen2 OC.

Honestly, it’s pretty unlikely that I’ll create two additional base plates for the Tradere unless it sells absurdly well.
I chose these base plates specifically because I think they are the best of Tradere and they fit the Blackland lineup well. Fans of my mid-aggressive style will love the OC and guys who have been disappointed that I don’t offer a milder DE will finally have one in the SB.

I misunderstood your comment. Yeah you are right, sounds like Gen 1 SB.

Hope your razors will sell well. And have a chance for improved models.

Blackland Razors sorry I was more so replying to CK as opposed to saying I wanted any changes. I haven't used a Tradere so cannot speak to different baseplates.

I know. I was just clarifying your point.


The broader message is that the Tradere line could develop much further, but it all depends on how well this initial offering sells.

Indeed! Thanks for the assist!!! I need to do more proof reading before I reply when I am sleep deprived. Initially read your message as a response to me haha. I will be happy to be one of many to help with out with this initial release. Been going back and forth between the two options since the initial news. Honestly might just have to flip a coin.
