I recently got my blackbird osprey in titanium. I see some reviews less than a five for those people I can always say you are not familiar with an adjustable DE Razor. For the last 10 years my everyday Razor was a 1959 Gillette Fatboy don’t get me wrong. It’s a great Razor but when I came across the Osprey, it is the modern day fat boy upgraded into a precision instrument. Since I have been using it shaving, has become actually enjoyable and satisfying. The owner of the company has been nothing but helpful and a pleasure to deal with anytime I correspond with Shane he gives you a feeling of security that you purchased a product from a company that cares about their customers. I have been collecting. DE Shavers for many years old and now and nothing I have can compare to the Osprey the precision and feel of this shaver is nothing less than outstanding and I have many DE razors. I bought the titanium and removed the brass insert because I like the feel of a light Razor and I have better feel when shaving with the lightness of the titanium, but I did start off with The stainless steel one which I did love, but I just wanted a lighter version of it personal preference. Shane made the process extremely easy and effortless. If you are considering this shaver, don’t even hesitate you’ll be amazed.

Amazing razor. Easily adjustable on the fly, comfortable, smooth shave right out of the box for my first shave with it. Just ordered the vector, blackbird next on the list. Did I just become a Blackland fanboy?

First time using safety razors, so I have no other reference than those plastic 3-5 blade razors. It’s a bit more difficult to shave and I get some nicks sometimes but with time it’ll probably improve. It looks beautiful with its stand.
Matthew O.
I will say that while this razor is a bit pricey compared to other double-edge safety razors, it has delivered one of the best shaves of my life.
I also appreciate that the adjustment is "locked" and cannot float if I accidentally grip that section. While some may find it inconvenient, I appreciate it more the more I use it.
Good job and kudos!

A work of art and a shave to match!

Rasoio splendido !!! La lucidatura a specchio lo rende un gioiello !!! Le finiture sono superbe...La rasatura è stata confortevole. Settato 3/4 secondo me ...è perfetto per barbe di 2/3 gg. Ho usato lame confortevoli..no aggressive. Ho visto recensioni ove dicevano che il manico era tagliente...direi proprio di no !!! Si impugna bene. Grazie !!!

Absolute masterpiece of American engineering!I want to share my honest experience with the Blackland Osprey V2 and the matching stand. To say I am impressed is an understatement — this is a royal shaving tool.The build quality is flawless; it feels solid, heavy, and built like a tank. At 53 years old, I have very sensitive skin, and my shave routine has always been a challenge. After experimenting, I found my personal sweet spot: combining the Osprey on Level 3.0 with an American Personna Lab Blue blade.The results are mind-blowing. It cuts through hair like a surgical laser under its own weight, without any vibration or blade chatter. I get a mirror-smooth, perfect BBS shave every single time. My face looks fresh, young, and clean. The stand completes the look perfectly on my shelf — it's an incredible, heavy set that is worth every single dollar.Thank you, Blackland, for creating such a high-end, premium masterpiece! Greetings from Brooklyn!

An absolute masterpiece backed by great personal support!I am incredibly impressed with the Blackland Osprey V2 and the matching stand. The build quality is flawless and heavy-duty.The customer service is outstanding — the Director himself personally reached out to me and helped me with my order! That level of personal attention from the head of the company is rare and premium.At 53 years old with very sensitive skin, I found my ultimate balance: the Osprey on Level 3.0 combined with American Personna Lab Blue blades. It cuts like a surgical laser under its own weight with zero vibration. Every shave results in a perfect, mirror-smooth BBS. Thank you, Blackland, for a phenomenal product and top-tier support! Greetings from Brooklyn!
Kyle P.
Super efficient razor even at the lowest settings, and scary efficient at the top end. Found that I like it lower than expected, even coming from the Blackbird. Great fit and finish, wish the base felt as well fitting as the Blackbird though.
Aliaksandr
I am 53 and have tried many legendary razors. Osprey V2 is incredible. First shaves were tough after Rockwell, but once I learned to "ride the cap" at Level 2.0 with US Personna and DSC cream, it worked a miracle. I got an absolute BBS shave with zero nicks or irritation. Blade clamping is perfect. It demands technique but delivers royal comfort. Worth every single dollar. Shane, thank you for this masterpiece!
Erik P.
As the proud owner of three Blackland Razors (The Blackbird, The Vector, and The Osprey) I have an inherent dilemma: which one to use?
What I love about the Osprey above all is that I'm truly an active participant beyond using sound technique. I'm rewarded by being able to adjust the blade exposure on the fly during multiple passes, or kicking off the shave confident that the setting I've chosen for my given beard growth is the right one.
The shave experience and auditory feedback is just right. The heft, balance, look and feel of the razor is exceptional.
The Osprey is truly an end-game razor.
Greg L.
Polished to perfection. Gleaming Titanium in all its glory! Infinitely adjustable to my face for the perfectly comfortable shave combined with my favorite blades. Masterfully executed. AND, with the removable brass weight I can get it precisely dialed in to MY preferences. EXACTLY for MY face. It doesn’t get any better than this!
Robert
Absolutely beautiful finish to the polished Ti. Razor adjustment mechanism is fluid. Great balance and produced a perfect shave. Thank you Blackland for completing my Ti razor lineup!
Pablo M.
Razor hermoso! Pero... tiene un problema, no le caen todas las navajas, algunas no encajan bien y cuando ensamblas todo, el plato flotante no puede clampear bien la navaja y el Gap queda disparejo a largo del safety bar y hay que jugar o forzalo manualmente para que quede parejo... dicho eso... cuando logras armarlo bien es una maravilla!
Ward S.
Blackland razors are simply the best designed razors on the market. The titanium Vector and Osprey are without peer. Best shaving dollar I have ever spent-unconditionally recommended.
PJ
Es un razor hermoso de eso no hay duda.. pero por el precio yo esperaría que funcionara de maravilla y no es asi... las barras de alineamiento en el top cap parecen ser mas anchas de lo normal y las navajas no encajan bien, causando que cuando pongas el base plate ajustable tienes que apretarlo demaciado , se escucha la navaja haciendo ruido tratando de encajar y al final la parte flotante del base plate no lleva la navaja a donde tiene que llegar y cuando la miras a lo largo del filo esta dispareja... en fin la navaja que ellos mismos envian tampoco encaja bien... solo pude colocar bien las navajas Voshkod, Feather y la Tatara, tengo como 10 mas diferentes y no encajan bien, y al final las que encajan bien como quiera tiene problemas... en fin un razorcaro y complicado de operar
Gary M.
Delighted with the razor and the service from Shane was first class. Looking at a Blackbird already.
Pavel D.
Phenomenally customizable shave, truly a pleasure to hold in the hand. The blade feel can be increased or decreased. Truly one of a kind.
Zedekiah C.
Just a phenomenal razor. Buttery smooth on the low setting but still efficient. Excellent in the mid range where comfort is still noticeable, and with a careful hand and minimal pressure is extremely close in the high range. Has become my favorite daily driver.
Nikolay J.
A year has passed since I first saw this razor.
As soon as I looked at her, I immediately wanted her.For me, this razor is so special and so beautifully crafted It's unlike any razor I've ever seen.Sometimes, looking at it, I think it's some kind of alien artifact.But the photos don't tell you anything. You can't even imagine how beautiful she is in real life.Dear Shane, and everyone involved in making this wonderful razor, you've created a masterpiece.This razor belongs in a museum. It is beautiful.And of course, it gives you a superb Great Shave.It's not cheap, but believe me, it's worth every penny.If you are still thinking whether to take it or not, just take it, no need to think.If you are still thinking whether to take it or not, just take it, no need to think.Thank you Blackland and thank you Shane for being there.

I recently switched from my beloved Blackbird to the Osprey, here’s why. Since I started shaving some fifty years ago I have always had some issues with a cowlick in a small area of my face that caused irritation due to ingrown whiskers. Bottom line, I have done my best to live with it over the years. Now that I’m older and my whiskers are becoming finer the problem has become more severe. Since I started using the Osprey initially dialing it in to 5.5 I’ve seen a noticeable improvement. It’s only been about 3 weeks and I haven’t really played with the adjustments but I’m confident I can dial it in some more. Before the purchase I called for some advice and was fortunate enough to speak with Shane who gave me an honest opinion. No sales pitch just an honest answer. How can you beat that?
Andrew G.
If I could only own ONE razor, this would be it! The adjustability/versatility, and pure quality are second to none! I've tried quite a few single and double edge razors but so far, nothing even comes close.
If you are in a hurry you can dial it back so there's low risk of nicks. Or dial it up for a closer shave. All depending on what blade brand and shave cream/soap you use. The combinations/possibilities are endless.
I may not be the poster boy/man for shaving since I only need to shave once a week (maybe 3 times in 2 weeks) but I'm getting fantastic results with Feather platinum high stainless and Johnny Slicks shave soap.
Definitely going to have a regular place right next to my Vector!
JOHN
Sleek, very sleek. A true testament to the machinist's art. I was tempted to get the polished option, but there's no need. No chatter or any disfigurements.
And it shaves beautifully, too.
Curt R.
At first the grip felt sharp but after my first shave it was greatly appreciated with wet hands! The adjustment took a bit of practice but once I got the hang of it I was able to get it working properly. Wonderful smooth and efficient shave with zero irritation. Great razor!
Unoman .
I bought the stainless steel (polished) osprey and have used it three times so far - I have used it on the 2, 3 and 4 settings and with a Gillette 7 O'Clock and Astra blades. All the shaves have been remarkably smooth and close with no nicks or cuts or razor burn. I also have a Blackland stainless steel razor with the lite plate and these settings are very similar to the feel of the lite plate.
The main advantage of the osprey is that it feels more substantial that the regular razor and the increased heft allows for a closer shave without much effort. I may go up one more setting on the osprey (to 5) but I could begin to feel the blade at setting 4 and prefer milder settings. All of the shaves were with the insert in the handle - it works well and I don't see a need to remove it.
If there is one thing that Blackland should improve upon is to give the user a choice of handles - For the regular razor, I swapped the original handle with a handle from the Razor rock "Lupo" and that works well. For the osprey, I may not have a choice as the screw head that drills into the handle is very small - will experiment to see what I can achieve.
All in all this is a very good razor and I hope to get years of service out of it.
John M.
I will admit I am new to shaving with a safety razor. That is the reason I chose the Osprey. I will start of with it does not disappoint. Even being new I started on the 3 setting and found it to be very mild ( I have moved up to a 5 setting and love the results). I have sensitive skin hence the reason I started wet shaving. I have found the Osprey to be easy to use, setup and maintain. This is exactly the start I needed to understand the feel of a razor and learn. With a nice aggressively sharp razor and the Osprey I am done in one pass with no irritation. The quality and finish of this razor are impeccable. I don't own any other razors to compare with but I have worked as a machinist in the past and everything is top notch here. I will always go with the machine finish in the future. It is very nice and adds a subtle almost sticky grip when your fingers are wet. I will admit I am already eyeballing a Vector as I want to try the single edge AC style. If you are on the fence do not hesitate this is a great razor.
Geraldo U.
Beautifully well made razor. I have a few blackland razors and this has become my favourite. Love having the quick adjustability like a more aggressive setting on the first pass and a milder setting on subsequent passes across and against the grain. I prefer not using the brass weight and it was easy to remove. I use settings from 2 to 5 and for me that works great.
Charles G.
The Osprey is a great razor! I have used other adjustable razors and been satisfied with the results however found the Osprey able to provide smoother shaves over a much wider range of adjustments given the 9 settings. Although I am limited to using settings 1 thru 6, I have also experimented with higher settings as well (although would not use them on a daily basis for my growth)! The weight inside the handle can be used if desired and when removed, will change the balance of the razor. I have read some reviews online indicating limitations with regards to changing aggression levels and have found zero issues with loading the razor, changing aggression levels, and disassembling the razor for cleanup. The Osprey is a marvel in design and usage!
Curt
Wonderful razor, very grippy and so smooth to shave with!!
Emre Y.
A high-quality, comfortable, and solid-feeling razor. Its slim head makes it very easy and intuitive to use. The handle length is just right, making maneuvering effortless. Overall, I’m very satisfied with it — I’m really glad I bought it. Definitely recommended.
Frank S.
Customer service is second to none. These folks handled my change of address mess up without question. That’s unheard of today! The razor arrived on time and is an absolute beauty!!!
Joe K.
I've only been able to use the razor once, but I can already tell it's a quality product. I shave my head and face and love when I find a razor that can comfortably do both, the Osprey is one of those. The adjustable nature allows me to mow down several days of growth with easy. While I did nick myself in a few trouble spots, I chalk that up to learning curve and will get better as my comfort with a new razor increases.
One thing is I find the adjustment ring a bit difficult to dial in exactly where I want it, as it tends to move a bit when I tighten the head after adjusting. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.
Aside from how well it functions, the Osprey is a dead sexy looking razor, one of the best looking in my collection.
Francis
Best shaver hands down!!
Марат С.
Magnificent razor!
DEAN W.
A fantastic quality razor, superb engineering and a smooth efficient shave.
Lawrence L.
I have quite a collection of high end razors and smooth shavers. I believe that this razor is one of the best. This razor allows an individual to tailor his shave to the demands of his face.
Toshiyuki S.
A wonderful razor was added. It will be used the most frequently. The dial is used according to 7 to 9, but it achieves BBS with less burden on the skin. There is no problem even if you use it every day. The perfect design and high-quality razors and stands give you the joy of owning. It's not a cheap purchase, but when you get the real thing, you'll be convinced by the high price.
Yasfir A.
Osprey is a Rolls Royce razor...so solidly built...so smooth shaving!
David L.
I come from over two decades of using a Merkur Futur as my go to razor. Always having a good shave and mostly no nicks depending on blade used. I bought the Osprey and it the best decision I have made. It irons out all the minor issues I had with my Merkur. Clamps the blade very tight and eliminated all chatter opposed to the Merkur. I now can use any blade without issues. I shave every few days at 7. The price is worth it!
John C.
Already having one of the best razors there is, the Blackbird, there really wasn't a need for another. I already had both the SB and OC plates, so this pretty much takes care of anything. But in one of Shane's occasional emails I saw this adjustable Osprey. I don't like shaving daily and have a less efficient razor should I need to shave more often than I do. But not as cool looking as this! This could cover mild to wild... I kept trying to resist but finally succumbed. Anyway, I have given it 8 shaves on a single blade and have an opinion. It definitely has some weigh to it compared to the Blackbird. Not an issue for me. I went through the settings on my first shave and kept it between 3 -6. Not bad at all, definitely need to get used to new angles and different settings require some handling adjustments. By my 3rd shave I had kinda settled on 5. On a heavy growth shave I went between 6-9, 9 was too much, 7 worked great. My last shave I went with 4, as I shaved the day before and it worked just as I wanted, plenty efficient but no irritation. Anyway this is great! I'm still using my other razors but this definitely adds some flexibility with a simple tun of the dial. I got the machined version as I thought it looked cool and didn't have any tugging issues. It feels secure in the hand. Even at the higher settings it's incredibly smooth. The blade seems very firmly seated. I don't get the same blade feedback I get from the BB, then again I've never got that from any other razor. Anyway, I'm very happy with it. I'm also glad I got the stand this time, It keeps it securely in place. Is it a good chunk of change? Yeah, but it's a well made, highly adjustable, work of art that functions as good as it looks and is American made. Damn you Shane, and thank you very much!
Alessandro A.
Simply one of the best razor in the world!!!

This was a milestone birthday gift for my dad and he loves it! Great shaves from day one, and the polish was immaculate!
Todd O.
This Osprey is quickly becoming my go-to razor. Love my Blackbirds & Lites, but the adjustability of the Osprey really shines for me. Especially the low end 1-3, and the high end 7-9. The low settings for final clean up on my face and head. The high settings for shaving around my mustache and taking multi-day hair off my head.
MICHELE L.
Rasoio SUPERLATIVO. Design innovativo e funzionale, livelli di rasatura molteplici che si adattano a tutte le esigenze del momento. Personalmente mi piacciono i rasoi con un certo peso percui prediligo l'acciaio ma con l' OSPREY ho potuto fare l'esperienza simulata del peso di un rasoio in titano semplicemente escludendo l'inserto in ottone. Ottimo lavoro Blackland... complimenti.
leonard shafer l.
So smooth and beautiful design and finish.
Stephen G.
Nice smooth efficient shave on level 4 for my skin type. I get a slight blade feel on level 4. I drop it down to level 3 for ATG and XTG. I shave everyday, so really no need for the higher settings. It is equivalent to my Blackbird Lite on level 4. If I had 3 or mote days of growth I would probably bump it up to 6 or 7. Overall it is my favorite adjustable in my den.
Fotis O.
Excellent razor for all skin types
Sean L.
Absolutely Amazing Adjustable Addition To The Shave Den!!! Elegant and Efficient!!! Thank you!
Giancarlo G.
Rasoio superlativo e bellissimo.
Tom P.
The Osprey Titanium is superb. The quality, design and engineering is amazing. I love the adjustability being able to dial it down for a mild but efficient head shave or increase the aggression for stubborn beard growth. I like the balance and how nimble the Titanium feels. It gives me just the right touch and maneuverability for head shaving and translates well to face shaving around my goatee. By far one of the finest razors in my collection. If I had to keep just one razor it would be the Osprey Titanium.
Jason A.
All of the other razors I own, I always feel like something is lacking when I use them. The Osprey has filled that void. My favorite attribute is the tight blade clamping. It’s tight, a lot tighter than anything I have ever used. It has removed the blade skipping on my lower neck that my other razors are prone to doing. I have used Feather, Astra SP, Personna Platinum, Personna Comfort Coated, and Gillette Nacet blades with the Osprey. All those blades have performed beautifully.
This razor looks great. Great may be an understatement. I ordered the recently updated model. The laser etched numbers are very visible. Even though it’s a machined finish, the top cap is very smooth (it feels polished) and glides effortlessly. The handle is extremely grippy with its cutouts, and it’s balanced very well. You will literally have to drop this razor on purpose because it is not slipping out of your hands. Plus, it’s just a joy to hold this razor. It’s expensive, but it feels super premium when you’re holding it (it looks super premium as well). I haven’t used any other razor but this one since I purchased it. Blackland crushed it with this razor.
Craig F.
Let's address the 500 pound gorilla in the room first. This is a beautiful razor in SS polished. The weight is perfect in SS. I got an excellent shave on level 6. Smooth and efficient, not at all aggressive to me (I know this is subjective). I have a new favorite razor, move over Timeless Tuxedo. This razor is a much smoother shave than the Blackbird.
John D.
I love this razor….so smooth and efficient.
Ong J.
Perfect. Should you want a Blackbird setting or a Blackbird Lite setting, you have it all and much more in 1 razor!
Mark
Outstanding adjustable. Well engineered, light, beautiful...a really great razor
Phillip Jones P.
The OSPREY gets it done! I've tried the settings from 2 up to 8. The higher settings are just fine and shave really efficiently with no problems. For me, setting 8 gave me an extremely smooth and efficient shave - 2 passes with a little touch-up and done. The lower settings were fine as well. The OSPREY is extremely versatile - one razor to do it all for me. I do favor the SABRE, but the OSPREY is right up there. Grab one for yourself!
Customer
I have to be honest and say I avoided this razor for a long time because of Matt from Razor emporiums negative review on YouTube. I do like the Rex and have used one for years so I figured maybe was right and I didn’t want to chance it at that price . I decided to eventually grab the Osprey ( I caved do to the beautiful pics I kept seeing on instagram) and man oh man was I pissed at myself for listening to anyone’s opinion. This razor is fantastic, it is super smooth. I had 6 days growth when it arrived and I set it right to 9 and got after it. I was shocked at how gentle yet efficient it felt. And let’s be honest the razor itself is gorgeous. It’s also super easy to clean despite all the nooks and crannies. Bottom line, if your on the fence don’t be swayed, try it for yourself. It’s excellent.
Dieter V.
After the Blackbird, the Osprey is my second Blackland razor and I like the Osprey even more than I like the Blackbird. It's a very very smooth operator, and its adjustability allows different settings for different occasions. But this polished Osprey in stainless steel is a great razor - it has outranked my Blackbird and I use it daily. Highly recommended.
Andrew S.
Excellent razor both in terms of efficiency, ease of use and smoothness. The finish and engineering of the razor is impeccable. I love my blackbirds and Sabre v2 but the Osprey really can deal whatever you through at it.
Kaye H.
It was a gift for my son. He raved about the adjustable balance and the precision shave. Highly recommends it.
Dirk S.
Sehr schöner Rasierer, der gut ausbalanciert ist und einfach nur schön rassiert.

Hands down, bar none —-> this is the best razor. It’s pricey, but you certainly get what you pay for.
Bill G.
Outstanding shaving experience.
Just love my Osprey.
robert f.
I have shaved with it several times since it came through the front door. I have not shaved with the blades that were supplied. I went into my supply of Feather and Wizamet blades. The razor did give me a very efficient shave at the different settings I used.
Justin L.
The Osprey instantly replaced my entire razor collection; it met all my wants and needs in a single razor. It’s functional and durable while looking amazing displayed full time on my bathroom counter. The range the 9 levels should be able to meet just about every shaver’s needs. It goes from smooth and comfortable with surprising efficiency in the medium levels to everything below and above.
Andrew W.
The shave was very nice and smooth. Changing the setting is a little cumbersome but with time I will work it out.
Rohit Kumar N.
Awesome razor
Raj Sharma R.
I hesitate to praise products too easily; words like great/ amazing/ outstanding are scattered across without much thought.
However in the case of the Osprey, I’ll make an exception- to add some context, I have a lot of razors in my collection, maybe around 50 or so at the last count. I use them by rotation and keep the best 10 more easily accessible.
The Osprey has easily climbed into my top 3, and that after 5 shaves. And I suspect the more I shave with it, the higher it’ll climb.
Why? To start with- the design: I’ve never seen anything that looks like this razor. But it’s not just looks- the finish is uniformly excellent and I have to say that I love the brass inserts. The added weight is a real advantage.
Last and most important: the shave. Yes- I’ll have to use the adjective “outstanding” here and it’s richly deserved. The adjustment is truly vast- from the mildest of shaves to the most aggressive- in short, something for everyone!
Lastly: what I previously considered the downside: the price. But- after having used the razor and admired its complexity and innovation, I really can’t see it being sold for less, without making some serious compromises.
Great job, Shane!!
Rohit
Awesome product highly recommended to people who want first class experience

Best razor I've ever used. I've used razorock slants, merkur slants, the blutt, all the karves, the tataras...I digress. I've pretty much used them all. This razor TICKLES in the lower settings. It is so smooth its almost like massage therapy. There are very few parts of my head and face this has trouble with and less than any other razor I've ever used. The clamping is straight up masterclass. As far as I can tell, none rival it currently as far as blade stability goes. I could shave with just water and get a shave comparable to my other razors that required monumental prep time. You will not regret this purchase. One caveat...the machined finish does drag a touch. Not terribly, but noticeable. I got both my ti and ss osprey polished and it's smooth as butter now. Thanks Shane. You've made the best razor out there imo.

Dale H.
Well worth purchasing. Astonishingly good quality razor. Felt like nothing was even making contact, but closest shave ever.
Laurent G.
The Osprey is fantastic for many reasons !
First of all, it is a razor that has been very well thought out because it is the first adjustable razor that I know that can be used at all levels. I tried it from level 9 to level 2. All levels are very comfortable and very effective. I like varying the shaving angles, which the Osprey allows with great ease and safety.
I also find that it is very well designed because it seems to me that the blade vibrates very little, which ensures a smooth and perfect shave every time ! Great !
Hans V.
The Osprey is well made and looks fine. The shaves are very smooth and efficient. I use it mostly on Level 4.5.
I appreciate the polished finish and the Hi-Vis scale very much. On the other side I find the adjustment in the higher levels a bit stiff. The brass Insert? OK, nice to have.
John F.
I bought the Titanium polished Osprey. Shipment takes a bit longer as the polishing is done onsite.
This is a stunning, but expensive razor, on par with the Tardelus (which is not adjustable). I prefer adjustable and have it set to 4, which is spot on. My first shave was on a 3-day beard, which was bristly. A BBS shave, zero nicks or weepers or irritation. I prefer clear gel and water to soaps or creams, though I revert to them on occasion. My problem areas are chin and neck, requiring a second dab of gel.
The Osprey is well designed, engineered, and made. One minute quibble is the numbers are a bit difficult to see. The weight, size, and balance are perfect. Removing gel or soap from the blade is simple and easy, as is cleaning the razor itself.
I put off buying the Osprey at first aftet a YouTube review criticizing the shaving and irritation, and the actual manufacture of the razor. Then I realized that the reviewer had a conflict wirh his own razor brand. Trust me, not a single criticism was warranted.
I also own the Vector, a feather-weight SE razor, that I used everyday until now - that’s how much I love it. Thank you, Shane.
DAVID R.
Like all Blackland razors, this is great craftsmanship. I don’t have the thickest beard so the titanium blackbird lite seems to be my sweet spot. With that said, the level four seems to be where I’m at on the titanium osprey to get adequate shave without any hiccups for my skill level. This isn’t something that will probably ever affect me but the only thing small downside is that I physically can’t get the knob to turn to level nine without killing my fingers. Don’t think I’ll ever be using that setting though for my beard level
Overall great razor and extremely thankful they were nice enough to accommodate my request for a satin finish. Satin and titanium is a winner in my book
Richard D K.
I have used DE razors for an extremely long time (40+ years). The Osprey is the best razor I have ever used. Its very well designed, a great weight in the hand & an extremely smooth shaving experience. The micro adjustments make fitting the razor to your beard growth very easy.
The shipment from Blackland was fast to ship to Malaysia & the process was very transparent.
Im very satisfied with this purchase.
Joao K.
For me, the best adjustable razor that I’ve tried and one of the best razors overall. Can’t have a bad shave with it. Really well balanced and very natural to use, feels great in the hand and in the face. My preferred razor from Blackland (I think I’ve tried them all). Well done.

Nice razor and very beautiful but there are two problems.
1. It's very difficult to adjust the razor with wet fingers.
2. The handle needs more grip.

Superb razor and the adjustable feature is valid!

Smooth feeling, and efficient razor. I really like the solid blade clamping. The setting range is large.
Well engineered!

I can't really add to what others have said. This is a great razor. Love everything about it.

The Osprey is a smooth and efficient adjustable shaver.
Volker B.
I already had the Osprey in the machined version. Actually, I was very satisfied. However, I was bothered by the traces of the CNC milling machine. The top cap was rough and subjectively the gliding properties were not as smooth as on other models. I also found the readability of the digits on the dial difficult to read. The polished version of the Osprey with Vis a Vis inscription on the step numbers completely removed these minor points. For me, the Osprey is now perfect and one of the most beautiful and functional safety razors on the global market. Very pleased.
Keep up the good work.
Kind regards

Der Rasierer hat meine Erwartungen deutlich übertroffen. Verarbeitung ist tadellos. Besonders gut finde ich, daß es super leicht ist den richtigen Winkel zu finden auf jeder Stufe. Rasiert dadurch sehr gründlich. Er ist hochpreisig aber jeden cent wert. Ganz klare Empfehlung.
Josie W. M.
So far I like it a lot. For me almost 4 is just right for me. It is heavy but that’s ok with me.

Perhaps the best all around performer in the Blackland collection of razors. One can cover every razor from this maker with a turn of the adjustment dial and it would deliver an equal shave if not better. Face feel with Titanium is unique to this alloy and is superb with every Titanium alloy razor I’ve tried and owned. The Osprey Ti is no exception to this trait as it feels smooth and easy on the skin. Balance is excellent with equal respect to ease of use as well. The Stainless version is a great shaver that delivers as well but, the Ti is on another level of luxury & performance shaving. I have no regrets in acquiring one and for those that look for pure excellence in make up and performance with adjustable benefits with a look and feel that is like no other razor, the Osprey Ti is a worthy add on to one’s collection.

I already have the Osprey in stainless, I am beginning to find my stride with this razor, I think 3 is where I've settled. I've really been enjoying the Osprey in stainless, so I decided to jump in and get it in titanium. The titanium has the same feel as the stainless, but the lighter weight seems to want a lighter touch. The Osprey in titanium is the same great razor as the Osprey in stainless, only better.

exceptional razor. truly remarkable shaving power. the only note is that the handle is a little angular in the grooves. However, I rate it 10. I think I will buy more of your razors

Very good feel in the hand, great balance. Still experimenting with levels trying to find the best one for against the grain.

I originally got the machined version of the razor, but it irritated my skin, and I just didn't like the look. I decided to try the polished version, and I'm glad I did. It's so much smoother, a little lighter, and overall better looking. I like the polished look. If you have the disposable income to grab one, I definitely recommend grabbing this.
I forgot to add the hi-vis black numbering option, so make sure you don't forget if you grab one. It's very hard to see the numbering without it.
