- V2 of the upcoming Blackland adjustable is here. Things are moving in the right direction, but we still have plenty of work to do! Come behind the scenes and find out what we've changed from V1 and where we need to head for V3.

I love to peek at the whole process behind the scenes! Very excited about this razor!
Hi King!
Please listen to me. If you modify the right and left parts of the adjusting screw with gears, you will solve the wobble problem. And I'm sure this manual engineering would be great.
Great video. I like the thin lightweight targets, but I don’t like that it can’t come apart for cleaning. It seems that the design requires that it can’t come apart to work and I think this is a bigger issue then you may think for shaver’s preferences. Either way, keep up the great work.
Super interesting to get a glimpse of what goes into a razor design, truly amazing!
Looking really good for far 😊
A little curious about the durability of an o-ring in the bottom half. Would be a shame if a forever razor needed to be serviced to replace a rubber part.
We're confident that the o-ring will last for many years. We've chosen a durable and non-absorbing compound for that o-ring. But the best part is that the o-ring is not required for operation. It's just there to prevent metal on metal rattling. If the o-ring failed, the razor would still operate as normal.
Nice behind the scenes look at problem solving and refinement.
This is such a great series. Thanks for doing this Shane. Hopefully this razor will have positive blade exposure when it's finished.
Thanks, Howard! It will depend on the setting you choose. Some are positive exposure and some are neutral/negative.
Threads will work excellent!! Awesome video Shane!
Really interesting to see the development discussions. Looking good and I have no doubt it will be even better once in final form!
Thanks for watching, Steve!
Looking good. I am liking the progress you’re showing
I was just telling myself today that I don’t need another razor. Even had myself convinced…until I saw this video! I have to have this razor! It’s badass! I don’t know if it will top my beloved Blackbird, but I can’t wait to find out. Do you envision offering it in titanium at some point? Thanks so much for sharing the development journey.
Thanks for watching, Ron! Titanium is up next. We don't have an ETA on that, but as soon as stainless launches we'll be working on the titanium version.
Very interesting, Shane, and I am enjoying learning what goes into the designing of my next Blackland razor!
Thanks, Eric!
Loving watching this journey. Really up for this as and when it comes to fruition so great news on the projected price point.
Looking forward to the next instalment 😉
Thanks, Mark! Pricing discussion will be coming soon. It will be premium, of course, but we want to keep this fairly reasonable.
Super informative!
Exciting and informative videos, I've been waiting for an adjustable from Blackland to sit beside my other DE's.....will it come with an open comb option?
Thanks, Steven! There won't be an OC at launch. It's possible to make one in the future, but the base plate assembly is pretty costly so I'm not sure it would make sense to offer those by themselves.
I'd really like to see use full disassembly but understand why that may not be either practical for manufacturing or a good idea (i.e. I lost parts of my razor down the drain kind of thing) - also with a minimal amount of parts...
The end user won't be able to fully disassemble it. It's designed to be permanently bound.
MONSTER gap ... I like the wording. ha
My thought is that the adjustment knob should be longer (deeper) because with wet and soapy hands adjusting it will be challenging. Also will you add numbers to it?
You’ll enjoy our next update. :)
@@blacklandrazors looking forward to it!
Along with markings that are easy to see/read when you're not wearing glasses - I have to go back and forth with my glasses in the morning if I'm changing blades or changing the mild/aggressiveness of my adjustable DE.
@@Scotty_in_Ohio The numbers are pretty big and visible, but there's only so much we can do. It still has to be compact.
It seems that every adjustable razor has the fatal flaw of the blade tray not uniformly raising. I believe I know what the solution is and it’s outside the box of normal thinking…
С нетерпением ждём серийного образца!
Why make it so complicated? Wouldn't it vastly cheaper and simpler to make a two plate combo razor baseplate? One mild/medium or one medium/aggressive.
Because two settings isn’t enough to cover everyone. A true adjustable fits the needs of a lot more people. Plus, machining two stainless base plates isn’t much cheaper than this.
@@blacklandrazors I meant like a reversible plate...this project looks like it's going to be expensive and difficult to figure out.
It would be nice to have a user serviceable razor, you show lot's of nooks and crannies that are going to need to be cleaned...
(1) Do you think it is feasible to design a razor with a dual adjustment, vertical and horizontal like the Tatara Muramasa razor at the same time, or such design would require some swiss engineering, e.g, clockmaker, to attempt such design with full adjustability.
(2) would such risky and audacious adjustability have an added value or it is just nice to have.
Thanks for your detailed videos, I can’t wait for the release date. Cheers !
All adjustable razors adjust both the gap and exposure at the same time, this one included. Those variables aren't independent, though, so perhaps that's your point. That would be cool, but I'm not sure it's feasible.
To understand how gap changes also impact exposure, imagine a razor in profile. Draw a line from the top cap to the safety bar. This is your shaving plane. If the blade sticks out beyond the plane, it's positive exposure. Now move that safety bar down. You'll notice that the slope of the line you drew also goes down and you'll see that the blade sticks out even more. The same is true if you decrease the gap. The slope of the line/plane decreases and more of the blade is covered, reducing exposure. The Tatara accomplishes the same thing in a different way, but all adjustable razors adjust both blade gap and blade exposure at the same time.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for taking the time to share your clarifications. I asked the question because in general in the reviews of adjustables there is an inevitably mixed opinion/ reception for each design (e.g. the range it is too agressive or not agressive enough), I wondered if a dual adjustment with 2 knobs for an isolated vertical motion and horizontal sliding base-plates with some enforced security limitations would get a general consensus that may achieve the satisfaction of every user profile.
But I understand your point of view which consists in saying that we can accomplish the majority of the expectations from an adjustable via a single movement that manages a simultaneous adjustment of blade gap and blade exposure while avoiding an excess of engineering/ over-engineering.
Looks intriguing!
Any price index idea? fx $200-250, $250-300 or 300-??
Pray for a cheaper aluminum version . This gunna be at least 300.
@@D4PPZ456 Price isn’t set yet, but we don’t expect 300+. We’re aiming to keep it not too much more expensive than our current lineup.
@mamoudlez can I pay by washing the dishes?
@@blacklandrazors Thanks...🙌
Outstanding. Looking forward to seeing the final product. 😊
Personally I hope the handle stays 😊
It won’t, but I see where you’re coming from! Not a bad look.
Blade feel at 0... 0 😂
Apple and NASA talk inches. They are probably engineers there. You know.. Landing things on Mars...
Yep and that worked great for the Mars Climate Orbiter 😂. Metric is the language of science even if we Americans refuse to accept that.
@@blacklandrazors Your American science is doing just fine.
If only Joseph Dombey could’ve completed his crossing of the Atlantic and succeeded to reach U.S coast in 1793 when Thomas Jefferson attempted the adoption of metric system, maybe both Canada and U.S could’ve become fully metric. Here in Canada is even weirder, we use metric for volume, temperature, road distances and speed but when it comes to smaller measurements, e.g, height and weight I’m lost completely when people switch to imperial especially when FRACTIONS are used for small dimensions. Canada is quite inter-dependent with U.S for construction products, therefore the mix between metric and imperial won’t disappear soon
@@Medi_CA-TN It’s pretty frustrating! If only there was a perfectly logical measurement system we could all adopt…
@@Medi_CA-TN Just learn both man...
WHEN ? ;D My wallet is ready...
