Pros

  • Just upgraded to a Blackland Osprey. I have a vintage Gillette Super Adjustable and had Gillette Slim - both good. The Osprey is now my daily driver.
  • 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...

  • 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, especially past level 6. Getting it to setting 9 with wet hands was nearly impossible.
