The Blackbird Brass is back for the first time in years! With the reintroduction of our brass razor, it seems like a good time to discuss the differences between brass and stainless razors.

Brass for me. Renaissance wax can keep it from tarnishing for those who don’t want the patina. Hoping for a Copperbird someday…

@CocoboloCowboy Месяц назад

Great Metal shootout, good info.

@WallyPankowski-wd8gb Год назад

Very informative. I’m sticking with the titanium. But whether the customer chooses brass or stainless steel, he or she is buying a top of the line razor. I need updated videos on the production of the adjustable 😊

@estudacaboco184 Год назад

Very nice Shane. Now I waiting for the Blackbird Aluminum razor!!!

@beg033 Год назад

Best is to get both. :) I have the polished SS bird and it's the best DE razor I've ever used. I'm looking forward to the addition of a brass bird to my collection as soon as possible. Titanium might be too light for me. Generally, I favor heavier razors.

WOW! I'm VERY impressed! You are apparently the only guys who bring out these very useful videos from time to time, to help the end users acquaint themselves with the finer points of your wonderful creations. Kudos! I have the BL BB CC IN SS. But i would love to add the BRASS version to my collection, for the sake of variety. What are the various options for placing an order online from INDIA,apart from your own website? Thanks and regards, Dr. Basu

I would be interested in seeing OP's take on a knurled handle.

@viktorv2277 Год назад

Just ordered brass blackbird. I like the premium feel in my hand and how it looks. You forget about the smell of the brass 😉

@blacklandrazors Год назад

Thank you for your order! Be right back, gotta go smell the razors. 👀

How does brass glide across the face vs. SS or TI? Have you felt a difference? I've heard some DE razor shavers say that certain razors glided more smoothly than others. I think it may of been a chrome finish vs. matte in the same razor.

@blacklandrazors 4 месяца назад

Heavier razors tend to glide a bit better because of the extra momentum. So SS and brass are similar in this regard. Titanium requires extra pressure to get the same level of glide.

Looking at a Brassbird Lite in my future!

It’ll be ready when you are!

@UB3R1NV3RT Год назад

I didnt hear it mentioned but Brass also has a specific brass smell that some people dont enjoy

@blacklandrazors Год назад

Good point!

One more question on brass - I’ve been thinking about a brass razor but keep running into debates about lead content in the 360 brass and is it worry free safe or not. Any thoughts on this. I obviously don’t plan on sucking on it like a lollipop pop, but you just read stuff precautions with handling them. Any thoughts on this? Also, how noticeable is the brass smell that people talk about. I’m not sure I have brass in my house to smell!

@blacklandrazors 5 месяцев назад

The real risk of lead in brass come from inhaling or ingesting particulates. There shouldn't be any risk of lead exposure due to simply handling a brass razor. I personally don't really get much of the brass smell unless I put it right up to my nose. It's not like you walk into a room and get hit with the smell of brass. It's faint.

@eastwoodmjp Год назад

Love the pot still Irish in the background! Slainte.

@blacklandrazors Год назад

Good stuff!

@MikeMCT 5 месяцев назад

What about the strength of brass vs SS. With brass being softer how prone is it to dings if it takes a tumble on the counter vs SS?

@blacklandrazors 5 месяцев назад

Brass is definitely more prone to damage from falls, but even stainless can dent if it falls the wrong way. If your razors are falling often, get stainless.

@MikeMCT 5 месяцев назад

@@blacklandrazors they don’t fall often at all, but I’m sure I’d have a mishap the second I bought something that is a little more prone to dings - ha!

@user-pc8vq6zy3y Год назад

Can a Blackbird Lite plate be used on a Blackbird Brass Razor?

@blacklandrazors Год назад

Yes definitely! Stainless, brass, and titanium Blackbird parts are all interchangeable.

@rightsideupvt Год назад

Can the patina build up over the years to change the tolerances of the razor? Will the bottom plate, blade, and cap still fit the same with years of patina?

@blacklandrazors Год назад

I think it’s technically possible that unchecked patina could do what you’re describing, but I’ve never seen it on a razor. We have some brass Blackbirds that are several years old and have no tolerance issues.

@rightsideupvt Год назад

@@blacklandrazors Thank you. Ordered one today.

@66racer 3 месяца назад

Is it possible to make a Razor out of Bronze? Curious as I have 3 brass pens and the patina is ok, now my bronze pen's patina is stunning.

@blacklandrazors 3 месяца назад

It's definitely possible to make a razor from bronze! That's a material we might do some work with a special edition in the future. No plans for this year though!

@66racer 3 месяца назад

@@blacklandrazors oh that is awesome to hear! It really is a nice metal. Polished Bronze would look so nice.

@rightsideupvt Год назад

Can you put Brasso on the brass one to bring it back to new looking finish?

@blacklandrazors Год назад

Brasso is an abrasive polish. So while it will remove the tarnish, it will also change the finish and make it shinier. Soaking the parts in vinegar is a safer (and less effective) way of removing tarnish. But with brass you're fighting a losing battle and will always have tarnish reappearing.

Can have titanium Blackbird Lite plate ?

@blacklandrazors 11 месяцев назад

Sure! They’re available individually on our website 🙌

@michaelwelch70 Год назад

Please keep Brass around for a bit.

@blacklandrazors Год назад

That’s the plan!

@michaelwelch70 Год назад

@@blacklandrazors That's great! Good video. Will it be possible to purchase this in your beautiful Machined finish?

@georgemakuca8870 Год назад

The brass is not that aggressive as the SS I have the both of 'em.

@StockMarketsMadeEasy Год назад

Thanks for the update! Will help many like me. But I've heard several people JUST the OPPOSITE ( one example being SUBIE SHAVES)! Another GLARING example of YMMV?
