![]() This razor is definitely interesting and probably would require more shaves to find out it's full potential. I did a full XTG pass on my jawline and under my chin area and ended up with a BBS. The ATG pass was just as comfortable, but left a little more stubble than I was expecting from a CG shave. ![]() Even at the Lvl2 angle, the first pass was quite comfortable and efficient. I adjusted the angle a bit and found that I could vary the feel to be slightly less than a Lvl2 all the way to a Lvl3. I started my WTG pass using my usual angle and immediately found that the shave felt like a Lvl3 head. After loading the blade, I noticed that this was the second razor this week (the other being the Henson) where the blade is kept flat except for the area near the cutting edge where it is clamped. They are also not as pronounced as the copper/brass caps. The other difference is that the grooves on the cap which was eliminated with the stainless steel caps, are running diagonally instead of straight. While this is not my favorite way of mounting a blade, one gets used to it because that is the only way to put a blade on the Mamba. The Everyday head is a big departure from his regular series in hat the blade alignment pins are on the base plate similar to the Gillette Goodwill and Razorock Mamba/Game Changer. My Everyday head was matched with my scratch and dent Timeless Barber Pole handle and it worked well. I opted for the head only as I have a bunch of spare handles that need heads. ![]() I got one of the last batch of Everyday razors, which were all stainless steel. The left razor has a wax layer and remains in optimum condition. On the photo you can clearly see the difference, the two right-wing razors were used last week and a "green" haze is visible. To keep them in good condition, I clean them after use and rub them in with Renassaince wax. It was taken over by our forum colleague Kingjack, who is very happy with it. This version is too unpleasant for me to shave daily. I also had the closed comb Level 3 version that shaves very thoroughly and deeply. This means that the open comb requires more attention from the user during use. In return, he is more efficient and with that he is in terms of shaving characteristics between the level 2 and 3 with a closed comb. The open comb version of level 2 feels slightly less mild than the closed comb version. You can actually get this safety razor thoughtless over the skin after getting used to it a few times, because injuring it seems almost impossible. ![]() This safety razor is of course more efficient than Level 1, but here too the feeling of shaving remains absolutely very mild. The closed comb version of level 2 is in my opinion the ideal razor for most wet-shavers. In terms of shaving sensation you notice little difference in both sides, the open comb feels very mild. From Level 1 I have the dual shaving head with open and closed comb. The safety razor is a bit more sensitive to the right shaving angle than the level 2 and 3, but after a few strokes you have already found it. Shaving is done in a very mild way but at the same time it is still very efficient which results in a nice shaving combination. I think the Charcoal with the level 1 shaving head is the biggest surprise of all available versions. The blade fits exactly in the recesses and due to the lack of any marge the blade is tightly centered. No insurmountable to see and a nice sleek finish with very little tolerance. The first to fall for the more than fantastic implementation of these safety razors. This assessment is of course entirely subjective, but let me explain to you why I am making this statement. The Safety razors from Charcoalgoods are currently one of the better safety razors on the market for me.
