Charcoal Goods Appreciation Thread

Tritium (abbreviated as 3H) is a hydrogen atom that has two neutrons in the nucleus and one proton. Tritium is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere when cosmic rays strike nitrogen molecules in the air. Tritium is also produced during nuclear weapons explosions, and as a byproduct in nuclear reactors and was used in Charcoal Goods handles. Although tritium can be a gas, its most common form is in water because radioactive tritium reacts with oxygen to form water.

Aah thanks for the clarification on the
Tritium handle.  
    What a cool thing to have in a handle.

It's a mini glow stick.

Tritium emits electrons through beta decay and when these electrons interact with a phosphorous material, a fluorescent light is created that can last up to 20 years. When this Tritium powered illumination is sealed inside a glass tube, it is up to 100 times brighter over a long period than any comparable technology. Glass is lined with phosphorescent material, then filled and pressurised by a machine with gaseous Tritium and sliced into segments by a laser beam to be sealed hermetically. Inside the vial, the electrons emitted by the tritium gas excites the phosphor to give off the cold continuous light.

Interesting stuff right?

How does the Ethos skin food lotion compare?

Used in all my carry sights since late 90s. Lovely stuff

 Matt that is some interesting stuff. It's amazing what people can figure out and do. 
  So in the razor handle it should have little segments sliced off and maybe pressurized in a glass tube of sorts.
    I did notice with a Google search they use Tritium watches etc...

Looks like Brian supplied the handle with a couple of tubes

Those intrigued me back then I see.
lol 
Brian of CG made them so they could be replaced that's great, nice.

How many of us would love to make that purchase right now ?!?!?!

Here's the only Charcoal Goods razors I have at the moment. I've sold of a few.
The brass are Gen 1 lvl 3 OC & DC
The stainless steel lvl 3 SB is one our friend Mark Shavemd graciously sold me
