- For me I splurged and got a Blackland Osprey.
- I think the brass insert is a good thing as you can choose your preferred weight and it does look cool , I think the cleaning would irritate me with all the grooves etc . It's a fabulous razor
- The Blackland Osprey is a fully adjustable razor made from 303 stainless steel, designed to offer a broad range of shaving performance in a single tool. ... Both shaves were smooth and effective, with no major issues. ... Balance is spot...
- It’s a joy to use and surprisingly efficient. I went WTG on setting 4 and dialed down to 1 for the ATG pass.
Cons

- con: is the price that is an expensive razor not everyone will pay that price for a razor and what the prices is in usd as well imagine that in cad the base line razor is near 500 cad if u think about it
- While 303 stainless steel is durable and easy to machine, it does not match the corrosion resistance of marine-grade 316L. It is not a major concern, but it does mean you should rinse and dry the razor after use.
- The adjustment mechanism is not as smooth as I expected. You need to loosen the handle before changing settings, which adds a step compared to some other adjustables. More importantly, the dial gets noticeably stiff as you go higher, esp...

The adjustment mechanism is not as smooth as I expected. You need to loosen the handle before changing settings, which adds a step compared to some other adjustables. More importantly, the dial gets noticeably stiff as you go higher, especially past level 6. Getting it to setting 9 with wet hands was nearly impossible.
The Blackland Osprey is a fully adjustable razor made from 303 stainless steel, designed to offer a broad range of shaving performance in a single tool. ... Both shaves were smooth and effective, with no major issues. ... Balance is spot on, and the grip is secure without being overly aggressive.
It’s a joy to use and surprisingly efficient. I went WTG on setting 4 and dialed down to 1 for the ATG pass.
