Absolutely outstanding razor. The Blackland Vector has quickly become one of my favorites. The build quality and machining are excellent, it feels incredibly balanced in the hand, and the slim head makes it easy to get into tight areas, especially under the nose.
What really stands out is how efficient it is without feeling overly aggressive. It gives me an exceptionally close, smooth shave with very little irritation, and once you find the right angle, it just works.
It’s definitely a premium razor, but in this case I think you get what you pay for. The craftsmanship, design, and performance are all top notch. If you enjoy safety razors and want something that feels genuinely special, the Vector is absolutely worth it. Easy 5 stars.

I have tried/own several AC razors, including the stainless steel version of this razor. The titanium version is by far the smoothest and more efficient one I’ve had.

Close shave! Almost too close. On e I get the hang of the angle it will become my daily driver.
Nicolai A.
Such a beatiful razor. I do have the Satin version already and both are stunning. The added benefit of the polished version is the slightly better glide and the timeless look.
Steven E.
Perfect shave, perfect razor, I beautiful piece of artwork!
Hiep T.
The overall razor is great. NO COMPLAIN !!! and I LOVE IT.
BUT if I pay almost $500 for a nice razor, I should have gotten a "metal washer" instead of a "plastic washer".
I hope the company will take my feedback into account and improve it next time.
I ended up going to the local hardware store and got the same size metal washer for the razor.
Kenneth K.
Best razor ever!
A surgical instrument!
Otherwise nothing out of the ordinary.
Robert W.
It delivers exactly as promised. It took about 7 shaves to get the full hang of it, but it’s worth the wait.
Nicolai A.
Such a perfect razor for head and body shaving. My 2 endgame razors are the Vector for SE and the Blackbird for DE. I am currently switching back and forth between the two. Thank you Shane for designing stellar products.

The Blackland Vector (titanium) razor is the best thing since sliced bread. The accuracy and efficiency it enables is better than any other safety razor I've ever shaved with for the past 62 years. The titanium razor is extra light resulting in it delivering much more feedback than I've ever experienced!
The only suggestion I'd have for Blackland would be to design an easier way to separate the base from the cap during blade changes - as it stands it's a bit awkward to accomplish the takedown. Perhaps some tabs on the base and cap, or a notch, whatever works best for Blackland.
Other than that issue, for me this razor is a lifelong keeper.
***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for discriminating shavers.

A superb piece of craftsmanship, a great razor column, truly a pleasure to handle, and truly a great shave. Of course, using artist blades, which are larger and sharper, requires advanced skills, but this is a smart tool to handle and to shave with.
Louis B.
Awesome razor!
My first shave with it was tricky, but after a few more shaves it’s working out to be just fantastic! The design and quality is beautiful and it shaves so smooth! Thank you Shane and Blackland, great work and customer service!
Michael G.
Best razor ever.

Update 2: Second shave using some pressure and the Feather Soft Guard blades - I can now say this is definitely a better shave than the Leaf Twig and still easier to get a BBS result.
Update 1: After posting my original review, Shane reached out and helped with some technique troubleshooting. Apparently, with a razor this light you sometimes need to add pressure to improve its performance and reduce irritation. And that helped for me. I also tried a Feather Softguard blade this morning, which improved the experience even more.
Original Review: I'm torn on this razor. Coming from a Leaf Twig, which has no blade feel, the titanium Vector with the Lite SB has significant blade feel for me, even with the Feather ProGuard blades. With that, it is much more efficient and requires fewer passes to get a BBS shave. And it surprisingly does it with no nicks / weepers, but the shaving experience is just not as pleasant. This is certainly a much higher quality razor than the Twig (which it should be given the price difference), but if I was to do it all over again, I'm not sure if I'd buy it.

I received my Vector Titanium yesterday, used it for the first time today and it is hands down the best razor I have used. I have the Supply Pro, Proof, Proof Straight Razor, Rowan, OliWorks and a couple others as well. Yours, while the most expensive out of all of those, could easily be the only razor anyone ever needs, so there is great value there. My only suggestion is to consider putting out the extra money for the polished version if you can. It feels like the most aggressive razor I have used, but no nicks or cuts, felt great, and gets closer than any of the other razors I have tried. For those new to wet shaving with single or double edged blades, I consider myself a noob too, so don't let the price or look intimidate you. Great job to both Shane and his team (made right here in San Diego, CA), thank you! The Osprey will be my next purchase...
Michael G.
Excellent product
Carlo F.
I’ve only used the Vector Ti three times so far, but it already feels like a razor I’ll keep reaching for. What stands out most is how light and maneuverable it feels without sacrificing shave quality at all. As a long-time Blackbird user, the single-edge experience feels different in a really enjoyable way. My only letdown was realizing it didn’t come with blades - - I just wish that had been stated more clearly so I could’ve ordered them in advance. Once I finally used it though, it absolutely delivered.

I didn't think there could be a shave better than the one I get with my Blackbird Ti. But when I read the email titled "Have you tried a single-edge razor?" I started thinking about the Vector and didn't stop. After doing a lot of research online about it, I decided to give the Vector Ti a try. Oh my goodness! After 11 days it seems closer to a BBS shave for me than with my Blackbird Ti, which had given me my previous closest shave. I've only been using a Feather Pro blade so far. I got one small nick in a different spot each of the first 3 days. Since then I had a little weeper one day, but that has been it. The blade is holding out longer than the 7 days I get with most blades on my Blackbird Ti. If I can get about two weeks out of a blade or even more, I could see this becoming my daily driver because then it wouldn’t be that much more expensive.
Joshua L.
fit and finish are amazing. The shaving experience with this is top tier. I'm coming from a Henson, which I loved..but this is next level. I love it with the medium aggression feather blades. Paired with some Ariana and Evans shave cream or Gentleman's nod shave cream and im set. I support this company 100.
cristian
Incredible machine, as good as aerospace and car racing. The Vector is a fantastic razor, with a learning curve, yet an amazong sgaving experience since the first go
Marco Z.
I just love this razor, period. It's the best safety razor I ever had. I look forward to every single shave with it. That's its only downside: I just can't do a fast early-morning shave with it simply because I enjoy it too much to do only one pass. I pair it with a Feather Pro Super, and it's a beatiful shave every time. Feels so much better than any DE. It's super tactile and gives a ton of haptic feedback to almost shave off single hairs, and go against the grain at my most delicate under-the-chin spots. The razor is a piece of art, feels premium, it's one of these items that you just can't stop looking at, or holding in your hand. There's just something magic about the vector.
Joel M.
excellent razor. there is a bit of a learning curve and there are things that need to be unlearned and also learned coming from a disposable cartridge-razor style of shaving, but once someone gets the hang of the vector’s single-edge razor, it’s hard to use anything else. i get good quality shaves with this and enjot the whole experience and i am overall satisfied with the final shave results.
Brandon T.
Very well made easy to use design.
John M.
Great shopping experience, quick shipping, and the Vector Ti is a beautiful and super functional razor!
Ward S.
The Vector Ti was a pleasant surprise. With the Lite plate, the best daily shaver in my collection of razors. Really, really like it! Now I need a polished version-LOL. Many thanks!
SUNGWOOK K.
Amazing AC razor!
Michael M.
Shaves like a dream. Very smooth. I also own the blackbird titanium razor. I love every razor that I’ve tried out from blackland.
Hans
I have had the chance to do a nice handful of shave with this razor. I have only used the Artist's Club Super razors so far, and they are probably going to become my staple after I try the regulars. But, the Vector Ti exceeds all expectations of my shaving regimen. Absolutely going to be my main shaver for a long time and I cannot reccomend it enough. It did not take long to get used to the extra length of the razor. Thanks for an amazing shaver!
Sammie M.
Very well made product and then company has exceptional customer service.
Bernd M.
Shaving with the Vector Ti is a bit like making love.
After decades of DE with the Blackbird Ti OC being my 'one & only' for the last 1 1/2 years, I wanted to experience AC shaving.
Wondering if I would make a compromise in terms of efficiency I had asked Shane. He told me that I would reach a similar level using the Feather Prof. Super. Unfamiliar with the new razor and such blades in general I had an unpleasantly harsh 1st date with the FPS and then continued with the regular 'Feather Prof.' and the Schick Proline. And fell in love easily. Shaves were tender yet highly effective and it was already clear to that I would keep this beauty of a razor.
Yet, I love to start the day super-well groomed and hadn't met the level of closeness I know from the BB Ti OC.
So on the 12th day having understood and learned the Vector better, I returned to the FPS and it was simply like a miracle. Adjusting angle and pressure for that blade I had a sensational shave absolutely meeting the excellence of the Blackbird and this with the solid, gorgeous feel of the thicker blades on top. Late evening and the morning after I even sensed, that there was more closeness (than with the BB) and indeed there was as the following days with this combination confirmed. I did not expect that.
The Vector Ti is now my new favorite daily razor. I think it's a superstar!
michael g.
Blackland makes the absolute best razors. The titanium Blackbird and Vector is all anyone would ever need! Great job!
Bob M.
I learned to shave with a double edge razor in the late 60s. I had an injector soon after that, then came the Trac II, the Astra, Mach lll and for the past 11 years, Harry’s. I never could make sense out of a five blade cartridge, but I went along.
I started to wonder why there wasn’t a single blade, single edge safely razor available. It seemed to me to be an obvious design possibility. I could imagine what it would look like and how it would shave, but I had no reason to believe that anyone had ever made one, and in all honesty the double edge blade invented by King Gillette 122 years ago seemed dated and due for an update. I wanted a single edge safety razor that accepted a blade specifically designed as a single edge blade, not a double edge blade broken in half.
I started prowling the internet looking for the SE safely razor that I believed didn’t exist, and found the Vector. I could not believe it. It was even cooler than I had imagined with its absolutely minimal head and instinctive angle. It’s an art piece that shaves. I immediately ordered one in titanium.
I’ve had five shaves with the Vector so far. I got the Lite SB and I’m using the AC Professional blades. The shaves have been incredibly satisfying; close, comfortable and easy. I’m extremely happy and impressed with the Vector.
Marco Z.
Couldn't resist on black friday sale and got the titanium version for a reasonable price. Shipping was outstandingly fast (USA to switzerland in just a few days).
The razor is a beauty. It's as simple as that. This must be the most beautiful razor ever produced. And not only that, as soon as you touch it you know it's something special. The way it feels and lays in your hands.
As for the shave, I've heard that some people find it harsh. I used a Feather ProGuard, and it was an incredibly smooth (yet efficient!) shave.
That thing deals with my elsewise so problematic neck area like no other razor does. I love the low weight, I use mainly aluminium DE razors and love them, especially against the grain is so much easier. I also love that it is such a low profile razor, allowing me to get into the tightest of spots easily.
Jos S.
I have been using this razor for a few weeks. I was debating buying it because the single edge safety razor I had was perfectly fine. I just really liked the look. When it went on sale, I pulled the trigger. I use it to shave my head and around my 5 O'clock shadow. It is really light and very maneuverable. I also took the opportunity to up my Feather Artistic Blade game and went from the pro-guard to the pro. There were a few nicks, but fewer and fewer ever time I shave. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this razor to anyone looking to up their shaving experience.
Glenn M.
After trying out every single AC razor possible I landed on the Vector and it was love at first shave. The design, engineering and efficiency of the Vector is superior to every other AC blade razor for me. While I enjoyed the performance of the Stainless Steel Vector, the balance of the Titanium version blew me away. Am a proud member of the Blackland Tribe with every razor released by the company in my den with the exception of the Osprey. Add to that I'm a proud owner of the Machined Vector Ti now. can't wait for what Shane will come out with next.
Pablo M.
Top 3 in my den... super efficient even using Lite plate

Nicholas C.
amazing work of art, fantastic craftsmanship, a true instrument to be enjoyed for years to come. all the reviews touting its unparalleled performance are spot on. glad to have taken the plunge & even more satisfied that I went the Vector Ti route. expect this will be an heirloom passed on to my offspring. feel the excitement of a kid on Xmas every time I get to use it for a shave. one should have the pleasure of shaving with this SE at least once in a lifetime.
Fidel P.
Just like the satin finished titanium razor, it gives a comfortable close shave. The razor is easy to maneuver with just enough exposure. The look is gorgeous.
Ken M.
My favorite razor! Simple to use and the results are amazing. Questions about their products are answered in a timely manner and it is made right here in the USA! Thanks Shane!
MICHAEL J.
I purchased the polished titanium version of the Vector. Now I wish I had selected the stainless steel version as I like more weight in a razor. The Vector in titanium is very light. At the time of purchase, I would have chosen the standard and the OC versions of the baseplate, but the OC version was out of stock, so I decided to choose the Light SB base plate instead. Having a heavier beard, I assumed it would not serve me well at all. Since receiving the razor, I started with the Light SB, and have been using it for about a week. I have to say, buyers should not under estimate the Light SB base plate. I find the Light SB to be the perfect shave. I never cut myself. Razor burn is never a problem. The result of a clean and close shave is just the matter of fact, everyday. I’ve not yet tried the standard base plate, but presently I feel no need to rush it. I’m very happy with my purchase.
Vladimir
Excellent craftsmanship and performance!
Scott Y.
Works well for me with the lite plate and the feather standards. It's a keeper. I have the ti version, but the ss would probably have been fine.
Fidel
I own numerous razors of all sorts, straight edge and safety razors. I own the stainless Vector razor and the shaves it gives are phenomenal. I just got the Vector Titanium and the shaves are just as great, but the Vector Titanium is a lot more maneuverable. I’d compare the Vector to a nice smooth SUV while the Vector Titanium is a well tuned sports car. I find myself reaching for the Vector Titanium more often than not. Great razor!
Michael S.
Great shave I am jut now using this more than the SS Vector. Easy shave. I am completely satisfied. Tha k you, for all you do.
Linkai G.
Definitely the GOAT!!!
Norman J.
Ordered 2 one for me and one for my dad! My favorite razor
Chad C.
An absolute work of art that is also an excellent tool for anyone looking for a great shaving experience!
Ryan
Superb quality. Light weight. Looks and feels awesome. Bought the most aggressive blades by accident. My neck and face paid the price. Use just enough pressure so that the blade doesn’t skip. I ordered less aggressive blades so the same technique and lesser aggressive blades should be the perfect combo for me.
James A.
My favorite razor(along with the stainless steel Vector)!!!
Bob M.
So I’ve now been using the Vector Ti for a few weeks and love it. In fact, I’ve not used any other razor that I have a single time and those include two other Blackland razors and a Tedalus V1 (all of which I love). But the intuitive way the Vector Ti handles, that I am more comfortable in applying different levels of pressure, both the closeness and smoothness of the shave are all amazing.
I’ve tried different blades including the Feather Professional, Feather Pro Guard and the Kai Captain Titan mild and Kai Protouch. All work exceedingly well but I prefer the Kai blades. But regardless this is an excellent razor any way you look at it.
Michael D.
I really like the Vector in Polished Titanium! Very smooth (yet efficient) razor and I really like how nimble it is. I highly recommend this razor.
Pros:
- Smooth and efficient but not overly aggressive.
-Absolutely flawless looking!
-Doesn’t clog up and takes down stubble like it’s nobody’s business!
Cons:
The only thing I noticed was that it is hard to remove the base plate from the top cap when you go to clean the razor and remove the blade. I do see what appear to be relief cut outs, but they are only on the backside of the razor head and don’t seem to help much. There doesn’t seem to be a good way to go about removing the blade and I’m a little nervous about accidentally slicing my finger while trying to “un-sandwich” the pieces.
Mark Terry M.
I love the Vector, because of size, weight, form factor. It's a bit fussy to load blades because of the necessarily small threads, but you get used to that.
My issue with this Vector is that I ordered the standard base plate, which is too aggressive for me. I'm hoping to exchange for the SB lite plate. Then I'll be totally pleased.
Kris J.
My skin is pretty rough and bumpy. Any other safety razor I’ve tried has left my neck on fire and about half a dozen nicks. I didn’t think I’d ever spend $300 on a razor, but thought the Vector Ti was worth a shot. First shave wasn’t great. A few bumps, a couple nicks. I adjusted the handle angle and used a bit more pressure the second time, and it was like magic! Absolutely zero burn (for the first time in my life without using a cartridge) and only one nick where I got careless around my chin. Can’t recommend this razor enough. I used the proguard blades and think I’ll stick with them.
Allan Hancock A.
Received today, and shakedown cruise for the Vector Lite titanium. Initial impressions - it's a handsome razor, matte finished similarly to my other matte titaniums like the Taiga, a dark grey metal (photo). And light (in weight). As in, super light (43.5g, sans blade). In fact, it's the lightest razor I've used, other than a disposable cart, which means it's wicked quick and maneuverable. The nimbleness of a cartridge razor, with the rigidity and quality of an AC blade and the durability of a 3-piece razor. All good.
On the "consider this" side of the ledger, it's titanium. "Great!" you say - "Rich man's aluminum!" "Last forever!" Not so fast - like all titanium razors I've ever used (the matte versions), it will drag (the razor itself) if you press too hard, more than any polished metal, or matte stainless, or copper or bronze. Nature of the titanium beast - I happen to like it, and it keeps you honest, demanding the lightest touch for the lightest razors. But not everyone's cup o' tea. The manufacturing process also leaves sharp, defined edges and corners - also a titanium thing (there are no rounded edges on milled titanium) - and on this particular razor very sharp corners (not enough to do any damage, but definitely enough to feel) on the front of the safety bar, which I carefully and judiciously - and very lightly - polished with a Dremel and a rubber wheel. Better.
But above aside, it's a fantastic razor. As noted, quick, featherweight light, almost like shaving with the blade alone - a short, 90 degree straight razor with the protection of a safety bar. I like it - a lot. It's like shaving with air, with no input from the razor other than to hold the blade. First shave, first impression, just me. An "n" of 1. Better than my stainless Vector? Different. In a good way, and I'll still use both, different days, different seasons, different soaps and software, different beard, different mood. But at the front of my razor stable along with other SE razors (which have mysteriously taken a front seat to all my DEs).
Wally P.
The Vector is an amazing razor. The Titanium version is light and extremely maneuverable. The handle is easy to hold. The quality of the shave is excellent and easily leaves me with a BBS shave. The Vector is at the top in SE format razors.
John D.
Prior I was undecided on which razor to buy and was initially looking for a double-edge safety razor. I had watched Josh Subie Shaves reviews on other brands that sell double-edge safety razor. Josh is hilarious, full of life and made the video worth watching. Hoping maybe he will do a review soon on the Vector. For anyone that is afraid to ask my review also includes body shaving. I started shaving early in life after the years of growing up being called Ubu from the commercials. If anyone remembers the words "Sit, Ubu, sit! Good dog!”, that would be a constant reminder that pushed me to get groomed. Moving forward, I purchased the Vector Titanium (Polished) and have been using the razor for about 3 months. This is my first time using a single-edge razor. This all started out when I heard about the chemicals presented in the disposable razors so I was fed up I haven't used another disposable razor. I tried looking for other brands, but they all end up sourced and/or manufactured from China. I checked Jeremy's razors which his initial video was hilarious, but now his company seemed to have changed like the rest. I wanted a razor that I can say it is mine and I didn't have to purchase every so often worrying about where it came from. I was checking other brands, but I wanted something specific like its actually made in the USA and made of something different like titanium. I saw Shane Swartzlander's review video on the Vector and that convinced me to go forward with purchasing it. Here are my Pros and Cons, but first I will start with the Cons so we can end on a positive note as follows:
Cons:
1. Don't expect the handle to have any grip and I end up nicking myself. It is slippery when it gets wet.
2. Considering the razor being made of titanium, I expected the razor to be much lighter. I weighed the razor, and its exactly as stated on the description.
3. Doesn't come with 5-pack razors like the other models
4. Takes longer to shave especially in sensitive areas of the body. Disposables win in getting a quick shave. Just have to be patient and be careful.
5. Cost. I don't know much about titanium, but I know you can purchase Titanium CP Grade 1 bars as an investment fairly cheap. Wondering if that would help keep the costs down.
6. Time to receive my shipment took a while. I stopped using disposables as mentioned earlier. I had a full beard growing because I refused to use those disposable toxic garbage again.
7. The razor stand sits flush. Would be great if the bottom had legs/pegs so any water from the handle gets removed easier rather than sitting under the stand.
8. O-ring just gets in the way and I end up losing it
Pros:
1. Razor looks amazing
2. If you have any questions Shane gets back to you immediately. This is a plus for me because other companies you wait days or longer just to get a a simple response. Thank you Shane!
3. Assembly and cleaning the razor is fairly quick and easy
4. Able to shave my private area with ease. Its probably easier than shaving my armpits. Sorry if too much information, but its true for those who need to groom those areas.
Suggestions:
I hope that the company comes out with other handles for the Vector. Perhaps handle with studs or some sort of design for better grip and control when the handle is wet.
Overall I am happy with my Vector Titanium single-edge razor and I have no regrets. Hope this review helps
Regards,
Claudio V.
Un rasoio che ha rivoluzionato il mio quotidiano fatto di soli DE. Con le feather pro tuch è una piuma
Joseph P.
I'm still getting used to the new razor but when I use it correctly it's the smoothest shave I've had. I really enjoy the aesthetic of it as well as it's ease of use and similarity to tradition cartridge razors. In the long term, I will enjoy savings on disposable blades, have a close comfortable shave, and a design that will withstand time.
Douglas M.
I have been shaving for 50 years. Started with a Merkur. Most of my life, I used different razors. Primarily, de razors. Finally retired and am spoiling myself with your wonderful razors. Started with the Ti Blackbird and bought the bronze lite bottom plate. After a bit of discussion with the company ,decided to get the Ti Vector. Absolutely love it. I only use it for head and neck shaving. Smooth. Only cut myself a few times. Gets behind the ears beautifully. The wide head makes it hard to have missed stripes on the back of your head.Great work on a great product! Satin finish/ regular baseplate. Thank you, Doug M.
P.S., my wife laughs at me.Tells me now that I am retired, she has never seen me make shaving such an enjoyable daily ritual. Thank again.
Ong J.
Personally I rate the Satin as the best, the polished 2nd best
CHRISTOS D.
Not much to add here!!!This is an excellent razor both in terms of performance and construction. A must have for single blade fans. What is truly amazing is the feeling that you hold a surgical knife. Even with feather pro guard blades is extremely efficient. Maybe the best razor in my den. Well done Blackland!!!
Ong J.
One of the best razors I have ever shaved with. I find the Vector Titanium better than both my Blackbird Titanium and Stainless Steel
George M.
I find the handle too short, and it is difficult to get a close/smooth head shave.
William
This is my second artist club single edge razor, and first Blackland product. Just received it today, and I was due for a head shave, face shave, and body shave. I don’t always shave it all in one day. I definitely put this razor through the paces! This thing is amazing! The 30 day return policy is generous, wouldn’t think about returning it! Only blade I’ve tried so far is the Kai Mild Pink. Smooth and easy shaving. If you’re on the fence about the price, it’s more than worth it, when you consider the cost of blades. Especially if you purchase in bulk.
John
One of my best razors - efficient and smooth at the same time. No cuts, nicks, or weepers. Tip: Do not press, feather touch avoids blood and irritation. The In my experience, the blades last for two, possibly three shaves. Because the head is diminutive, changing blades can be fiddly.
DAVID R.
New to wet shaving. Decide on the titanium vector after doing a bunch of research. Glad I Did! Great razor! For a beginner like me the feather soft guard make a great combo until I get better at it.
Also, customer service experience I had was really great. Would recommend blackland to anyone.

The razor is awesome. The customer service when I called and spoke to Shane was even better. Who recommended blackland to anyone

Excellent razor! Extremely well balanced. I just gifted my SS version to my son and tried the Ti version and it did not disappoint. While it is lighter than the SS, it is not too light, I highly recommend either version.
What an excellent shave either one produces !
Craig M.
The Ti Vector is simply fantastic and the best Artist Club razor on the market.
The razor is so nimble and easy to use. I’ve gotten smooth shaves using daily or on several days of growth. The service from Blackland is second to none and you can buy with confidence knowing you have 30 days to return. I highly recommend!
Saleh A.
Light, sleek, beautiful and has a good feeling in hands however when i used it for my head shave , it was pulling my hair more than I expected using feather guard and professional blades, i will try it with the sharper feather pro super to see if it will give me a smother shave
Nicola C.
I really do think that we are in front of a masterpiece. This razor is engineered and built from people that has in mind that they want to be simply the best. And here we are. First use with Kai Mild, shaving soap Extro zero, Simpson Captain as brush. The razor fly, maneuverability without paragons….and astonishing under the nose. On my face and on my two days beard with one pass I cleaned 90 % on my skin, with two passes I had a real BBS. I already have a Blackbird titanium, an excellent DE, but here we are on another planet. I really have to thank Shane . The only thing that you have to take care is when you assembly the head with the blade on hand…put a little bit of attention pls and I’d say that two round round gaskets could help in case one go on the sink. I could continue to write for minutes, but let me enjoy the momentum
Christopher B.
Purchase the Vector Titanium and the Blackbird in anodized blue. Both amazing razors and beautiful pieces!

Title: A Revolutionary Shaving Experience with the Vector Titanium Single-Edge Razor!
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Vector Titanium Single-Edge Razor, and I am completely blown away by the innovation and performance that this razor delivers. As an avid shaving enthusiast, I was looking for something special, and the Vector has exceeded my expectations on every front.
The first thing that stands out about the Vector is its sleek, modern design. The titanium material not only gives it a sophisticated look but is also incredibly lightweight and durable. This razor feels like a valuable piece of tool in my hands, immediately invoking a sense of quality and craftsmanship.
What truly sets the Vector apart is the use of single-edge (SE) Artist Club-style blades. This choice allows for an unparalleled shaving experience. The precision and sharpness of the blades ensure a effortless and smooth shave, without any skin irritation or tugging. Moreover, replacing the blades is easy and secure thanks to the clever design of the three-piece construction.
The Vector Titanium Single-Edge Razor is also highly versatile. It easily adapts to different shaving styles, from a clean jawline to a perfectly styled mustache. The adjustable shaving head allows for customization of the shave aggressiveness, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced shaving enthusiasts.
Another impressive aspect of the Vector is its ergonomics. The handle fits comfortably in the hand, providing an excellent grip even when wet. This contributes to the overall user experience, making every shave a delight.
Lastly, I want to emphasize the durability. The fact that the Vector is made from high-quality titanium means it stands the test of time. This razor is not just an investment in a great shaving experience but also in a long-lasting piece of shaving history.
In conclusion, the Vector Titanium Single-Edge Razor has surpassed my expectations in terms of design, performance, and durability. It is more than just a razor; it is a revolution in the world of shaving. If you're looking for the ultimate shaving experience, the Vector Titanium is definitely worth the investment.
Cheers,

Hello from France
The vector titanium is a beautiful object, very well finished, very pleasant to use thanks to its fine head.
Well worth the price.
My next shaver, a vector titaniun open comb ????

The best razor that I ever had.
I only wish for two things, that the base has small groves (similar to the one on the side of it) to allow water drain and a travel case that would also protect the razor blade.

Love the weight and agility of the titanium Vector. Was able to get the closest shave on my neck than any other razor I've used before, using the stainless steel open comb base plate. And no irritation either. Really glad I decided to buy it.

Best shave of my life! So happy with this purchase! Thank you Blackland!

Just received a Vector Titanium. Having used my beloved stainless version for about a year I did not think much could be improved upon. I was wrong. The Ti is more ‘grippy’, much easier to control, somehow more intuitive and relaxing to use. The end result is the same, but getting there is another level. Blown away!

Absolutely fantastic razor. I had the titanium vector , I've tried many steel se razors , and I'm quite heavy handed , without applying to much pressure I would always end up with sore skin and white blemish/pimples after a day or so under my lower lip area and maybe a few in the tash area, but the titanium vector leaves me with none of this as it's half the weight , I've also noticed when I use my antiseptic alum block after shaving u usually no the areas you may experience some mild sting, but with this there's no sting at all!!! So impressed, that's me stopping searching from now on and now my lady can relax I won't remortgage the house looking for my perfect shave . Thank you blackland

I have two other SE razors (Claymore Evolution and RazoRock Hawk v3 with both standard and A base plates) plus over 100 double edge vintage Gillette razors. And this Vector Ti is now my favorite razor. It's a marvel of engineering where every aspect has been carefully analyzed and implemented. And this applies to truly tiny head, ingenious blade coupling mechanism, firm blade grip with minimal blade exposure for chatter, and a lot more. It's truly fascinating what Shane and team have accomplished. I am so impressed that I will be ordering the stainless-steel version for my collection. Highly recommended.

Best safety razor for sensitive skin. Ask questions for whatever skin type you have and they have a solution. Takes about a month to get used to the pressure needed and angle for least irritation to the skin.

This is a beautiful razor! However, I have a thick beard so it takes a little extra pressure to mow through my stubble, especially when I haven’t shaved in a couple days. Therefore, for me the Titanium just doesn’t have enough weight to it which causes me to have to apply more pressure to get it to cut the stubble instead of just kind of skipping over it. As you can see from my picture, I also have a stainless steel version, which in my opinion is much better for thick stubble as it has the extra weight you need to keep good contact with your face to mow through the stubble smoothly (without skipping). To sum it up for you, the Titanium is great if you shave everyday or don’t have a very thick beard. But for us thick bearded guys, I believe the stainless steel is the better choice. To sum up for you. When I shave everyday I have been using the Titanium but when I go a couple days in between shaves I use my Stainless version. I hope this helps!! Ray

Hello ! This is the third Blackland product, I love it!!!! This Vector is a miracle for me! It is very easy to maneuver, the weight of the pill is very good. Its workmanship is incredibly precise. Gentle, but at the same time extremely effective! I bought it with SB. I use it with Schick Proline, it lasts me 10-12 times. With Vector, I shave every day.

I have many razors, and after just four shaves, I can say without hesitation that this is the best razor I’ve ever used. And that includes One Blade and Supply.

The Vector is probably the best looking and performing single edge razor I own. Nimble, efficient, with a decent amount of blade feel. The weight of titanium is just right for me - not too heavy or too light. This razor is well designed and put together. Would have given it 5 stars, alas the purple anodize finish on my razor did not look anything like the photos on the website. The actual purple finish on the razor I received wasn’t as bright, vibrant, or polished. It was more of a matte light purple. Was told I could send it back but it wouldn’t look much more different even if refinished.

Was für ein toller Rasierer. Habe ihn mir passend zu meinem Wald Pinsel gekauft. Passt farblich, wie die Faust aufs Auge. Nutze den Vector mit der Kai Titan Pro touch und bin begeistert. Lässt sich super führen der Vector. Winkel lässt die ganz leicht finden.
Ich möchte keinen anderen Rasierer mehr
