Blackland announces new Tradere Razors

Very Interested in this razor, But before I commit I would like to know the efficiency of the SB and OC as in comparison to other razors. Is the SB milder than Gamechanger.84 or Karve plate C? Is it on par with CG Lvl2 or Lvl1. How about the Oc?-How does it compare to other well known aggressive razors like R41, Ikon Tech or CG Lvl3? 

From the pictures, it looks well built & beautiful;But  is it efficient enough?? I’m looking for more efficiency @the level of the DB 2020 or CG Lvl2. Thanks

A review posted earlier pegged the new Traderé SB as being in CG Lvl 2 territory....which is pretty
good territory for me.

That was in reference to blade feel not efficiency though wasn't it?

I found it to be a little aggressive for my taste. Shane rated it at 5.5, but I found it closer to a 7 based on the razors I frequent. I see a little similarity to the ..84gc, but find the gc to be smoother and with less blade feel. After two passes I got the pins/needles sensation on my cheeks. This would be normal for me if I use my R41 with 3 passes. Unfortunately the combination of blade exposure and gap was a little too much for my e/w & w/e passes on my neck. I stopped after two passes, cleaned and sanitazed the razor, and boxed it up. My top cap had a small round shaped scratch/imperfection and my base plate polishing looked like it was done with 220 grit sand paper with one side being straight, and the other at an angle. Maybe I expected too much for $265. Overall it's a fine shaver, but just not for me. Went ahead and sent mine back.

Shane, are there any SB razors left for sale?

Yep! We still have some left and beginning to work on more.

Think there will be some available when you release the OC Vector plate? I would love to get both together. Thought I would wait for the SB plate but it seems that I might as well get the full SB razor to match my original OC Tradere.

I think so. It depends on how many sell and how soon I can launch the VOC. Let's call it 80% confidence for now that that will be the case.
