The Blackbird is a three-piece double-edge safety razor machined from solid stainless steel in the US, with styling drawn from the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft. Its tight tolerances give a close, consistent shave, and it comes in a standard version, a Lite version with about half the blade feel, and an Open Comb for heavy multi-day growth. It suits experienced wet shavers who want a durable, aggressive stainless razor and are willing to pay for machining quality. Against mainstream zinc-alloy razors it is heavier, more precise and far longer-lived, but less forgiving for beginners than mild razors like the Merkur 34C or Edwin Jagger DE89.
