Jaime, my friend, how are you?

The Blackland Vector is an odd duck and I'm still unsure if I like it or not. Although the razor has considerable blade feel, it sits on the lower wrung of mid-aggressive. Regardless, the Vector is an efficient shaver, but the pronounced blade feel prevents it from being that comfortable — for me, anyway.

For a stainless steel razor, it is quite light, and the slim design makes it quite maneuverable. Is that enough to make the razor a keeper I'm not sure. With my straight razor shaving limited these days, I have looked for an ideal safety razor and thus far found the OneBlade coming closest. I don't particularly care for the double edge razor, and that limits me to the single edge.

I went through a series of single edge razors — Mongoose, ATT, and others — and thus far, in addition to the Paradigm SE, the Vector is the best of the bunch, for me. I no longer have my Paradigm, so it will have to be the Vector, in addition to my OneBlade.

Thank you for the information, Richard, and I guess I'll need to imagine what that smells like.
Regardless, I hope you are enjoying it.
