Blackland Vector Titanium

I'm not ever used the vector. Can you guys give me some idea about the efficiency,  compared to other modern razors

That depends how you define "efficiency".  It has some blade feel to it, but I've never felt like I was going to cut myself or that I have to be overly cautious while using it.  It is not as efficient as a Blackbird on a single pass, for instance, but I find the overall shave results after 3 passes to be closer than any other razor I've used, with no compromise in comfort.

I appreciate what you saying that does make sense. I guess I usually do check out the first pass like you see how much hair comes off.
   For me I've got a couple of trouble spots that I seem to associate how good I get them with efficiency of a particular razor. This part is probably the end result after however many passes.
   Sounds like it's pretty dead on for you that's terrific.
 I really like seeing guys hit a home run with their shaving gear, as well as myself.

I too have a couple of trouble spots and use how a razor works on them as a measure of efficiency but I also like comfort and the Ti Vector checks all the boxes. It’s not a super blade feel razor that’ll lead to irritation

You know I was sitting there thinking about editing my last post.
  And I guess the fewer strokes to get to the same shave as another razor it's one way I think of efficiency.
And what caught me about your comment was considering no irritation, yep!
   Nice thoughts and replies.

Shane Blackland Razors  is that a new logo you have for your avatar?  Sweet 

Yea we switched a few months back. Thanks!

OK, I'm not that behind the times   If you'd said a couple of years ago that would have been really embarrassing.  I like the logo.  Is there a significance to the stag or is it just cool?

This explains it. I'd link, but the forum has a hard time recognizing FB links.

When discussing the aggressiveness or efficiency of an AC razor, it's really important to note which blade the user is talking about. A Kai Mild makes the Vector quite mild while a Feather ProSuper makes it aggressive in the ballpark of the Blackbird.

Sure of my choice would make a difference wouldn't it.
 I contend the same could be said about DE razors and blade choices. I get a closer shave with a Feather DE also. 
That's probably a valid point you made Shane.

True. It’s a matter of extent. DEs do vary a bit, but the differences are subtle. ACs can be wildly different with guarded blades or blades with increased blade exposure. If it were wine, DE variation is like merlot v cab sauv and AC variation can be more like merlot v Chardonnay. Or something like that.

8.5 hrs later and I still feel mostly BBS on mg face. I can tell this thing is going to be a game changer for me and my shaves.

I'm in and gonna give the TI Vector a try, ordered one.

You will not regret it. It’s one of 4 razors I could not even think about selling off. I recommend proline blades. good mix of comfort and efficiency.

That's good to hear after a cash drop like that. 
I've got some proline and Feather super pro also I'll try.
