Blackland announces new Tradere Razors

Shane, are there any SB razors left for sale?

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

my credit card read this and ran away in horror, screaming loudly!

Do you know who will buy one kidney from me?

Received my Tradere OC yesterday and it has to be one of the BEST looking razors I have ever seen and I couldn’t wait to try it out this morning. I loaded it up with a brand new Perma Sharp Super blade (one of my favorites) and took it for a test drive.

To me, the razor was smooth with very little blade feel at every angle I tried. I had no irritation from the razor/blade combination but it also didn’t feel very efficient.
My normal shave routine is a pass with the grain and then across the grain in both directions but never against the grain. After completing my normal 3 pass routine, I still had some stubble on my problem areas around my jaw line (this was not normal) so I switched to a new Feather blade and competed the routine again using multiple angles to try to narrow down the proper angle for me. Still no irritation after my second 3 pass routine but I ended my shave with one beautiful pass with the grain from my Vector due to some stubble spots remaining.

I will continue to shave with this one in an attempt to narrow down my user error problems but if anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears!

I have had more than one razor that I had to shave with a number of times to figure it out. For instance, the Charcoal Goods Lv 2 SB. I just couldn't get a good two pass (my limit) shave out of it ... until I could. Now it is a razor I like and use in my rotation.

I had an original Tradere OC from the first issue. I found it efficient. I'm assuming Shane didn't change the geometry, blade gap ? Dunno, but keep trying and please keep us posted on progress.

Shane, I couldn’t be happier, THANK YOU Sir!

Gold Standard Packing and Presentation. Razor is Everything I knew it would be! I’m blown away by the handle, it’s brilliant!

Customer Service answering my questions whilst out of the country: Again, Gold Standard!

My appreciation through my first SOTD post in 2 months:

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

First Opinions, Level 2 CG, I mostly use dual combs enjoying the OC on first pass.  I went with the SB here first and I like it. I’ll use it again later this week.  I see an OC addition in my future.   Full disclosure, I’m kinda fair and a 2 pass max kinda guy shaving 2x a week sometimes 3 if a special occasion arises. 

If I had to compare it to another high end razor, IMO, this “feels” to me like a Wolfie .68-.74 SB, like FLCreekIndian, I go across grain on 2nd pass, I never have a 3rd. I will use a Feather at the end of the week. I did NOT speed shave with this one as blade feel is there like my Carbon, but not overwhelming.  My best shaves come from .61-.74.....this was right in there, skin feels nice, Zero irritation.

Any dirt, dust or debris you see is from me being a maniac opening the packaging and putting 4 different blades in it and trying to BBQ at the same time! 

A little too classy for me, but man, this is probably within the top three of prettiest razors.

Thank You ExtraProtein  this helped me alot. I like that there is blade feel like the Carbon. Looking forward to more reviews. Congrats on your Tradere, Happy Shaves.

Keep the pics coming, guys. Beautiful.

I contacted Shane after my less than stellar first shave and he basically told me there is no secret to using the Tradere and suggested I change blades again and give it another shot. I decided to load up the razor with the supplied Personna blade. I didn’t have as much stubble as I did yesterday when I began the shave but switching the blade made a huge difference.

The shave was just as smooth as it was yesterday but was more efficient. It was so smooth, I decided to add an ATG pass which is something I almost never do. The ATG pass was just as smooth as the other passes and now I am rocking an amazing BBS shave with ZERO irritation.

I am a daily shaver (M-F) due to work and my facial hair grows very fast. If I work an off duty job in the evenings, I have to shave again before going back to work. My plan is to get a couple of days growth going and run her again!
