Does anyone here know if this 3d printed charcoal goods razor is common or uncommon in the history of all charcoal razors? I feel like I bought this early in the short life of charcoal razors. I don't remember any machined razors available at that time just this 3d printed one in ur choice of metal. I believe this was bronze. Any help to identify what I have would be appreciated. Thanks

Outstanding, You have one of the 3D printed razors! There are a few out in the wild, seen a few come and go on eBay and Etsy. Brian did some really cool things with the 3D printer whilst it was up and running. Stands, razors, odds and end top caps and other fun miscellaneous items. 3D printing was very new technology at THAT time. I can’t speak for Brian, lol, however…. if he chimed in I think he might say he wasn’t 100% pleased with the outcome no matter how hard he tried. Briefly… IMHO the difference in shaving with a Gen 1 or Gen 2 full production piece versus a 3D printed piece is apples and cantaloupes. When I hear the name “Charcoal Goods” I immediately think Machined, Brass, Copper, Stinger, Hammered, Magnum, Torpedo and of course the words Gen One!
3D printed is very uncommon to see and I have only seen it in stainless steel. Keep it, that’s definitely a fun piece of Charcoal Goods History. Do you have other CG razors? If you do, give us a mini review of your 3D printed versus one of the machined production pieces, I would love to hear your review!
