Shave of the Day Thread - 2022

[klinker]

Yeah I hear they're overrated and I'll admit I'm super envious to try the Blutt Rasur BR-1 as a really nice looking razor!

Charcoal Goods razors overrated? Please elaborate @Razor Burn.

I think @Razor Burn was referring to my [faux] disdain for the wolf person razors

I think you would enjoy the WR2, in my opinion it is far more refined and much better to shave with.

I have used the Wolfman stainless steel WR1 OC with WR2 Handle

Certainly a nice razor, but then I look at https://wolfmanrazors.com/pages/price-list

Charcoal Goods razors overrated? Please elaborate @Razor Burn.

As @Mark1966 replied I was referring to his running joke on Wolfman razors and hold Charcoal Goods in high esteem as a wonderful razor.

I'll admit I regret letting my LE P&C Gen 1 L2 brass go as it was my Holy Grail razor but needed the funds to expand my brush obsession and purchase the Vector.

I get teary eyed every time I see you share a pic of your shiny CG brass razor as our late mate @Nico owned that same Victorian handle with a since discontinued Gen 2 L2 head and it was obvious why @Errol gave it such a glowing review as a near perfect shaver...

Another busy week but managed to squeeze in some highly enjoyable shaves using this setup.

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

That brush/razor combo is very handsome indeed!

Must have been a special brush to let that stunner go. The Charcoal Goods Gen 1 Level 2 with Stinger Handle might just be my favourite looking razor of all time. The fact its unobtanium just makes it more attractive

Ahh, @Nico, miss him regularly, and what a collection of lovely kit he had.

I remember the bidding war that went on between yourself and @Razor Burn. Maybe it belongs at home alongside the other double auctioned highest earning P&C Charity Auction razor
Will we see it up for a third auction this year? I have a matching brush on the way and it would look so good in my den ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yeah the stinger handle and antique brass was a big factor into getting me to convert too wet shaving as always inspired owning a Charcoal Goods original so no regrets trying it and moving it on to somebody who I know would appreciate its material and sentimental value being a P&C LE item.

Ahhhh, no, but if it does goes elsewhere ...

... it has to stay in the Territory, the AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY that is - not the other one!

Which reminds me, we haven't seen your DC meat cleaver for a long time. I hope you haven't gone and dropped it on the bathroom floor...
