Who would name a razor Stinger? Maybe Bloodletter was already taken?

If memory serves, Charcoal Goods had a Stinger handle with the bee theme. Very nice looking handle.

I said along time ago Brian would be back. At the moment I guess he is offering only the one razor. Take it or leave it. The company email reply.



"Our company is owned by Brian Twilley. Mr. Twilley is a product engineer and master machinist that has developed many products with over 25 years of industry experience. He currently owns and operates a precision machine tool and fabrication company (that we are part of).  One of his previous consumer products companies was called Charcoal Goods and was known for producing high quality, but expensive shaving products. Our Stinger Safety Razor is the only consumer product that we manufacture. It's made on the same equipment and by the same machinists as components for our aerospace and medical customers."

They are offering a 15% discount code   EMAIL15


PS I have nothing to do with the company just an FYI

I'm still waiting for a confirmation from Brian himself before believing this is actually his show. Hopefully my skepticism is unfounded, but I'm guessing I'm not the only one that looks at that website and that product and that kind of reply and think that it looks a little fishy... I don't at all put it past some dodgy company to just use his name with the expectation that it will create hype for wetshavers to buy their wares.

Everyday Shaving is legit.

This is Brian Twilley, owner of Charcoal Goods, Everyday Shaving, and of course my larger B2B machine shop. As most of you are aware I retired the Charcoal Goods brand at the beginning of 2023 as it had become a distraction to my larger machining operations. That hasn't changed, however I needed a simple project for the guys to keep the machine spindles turning in-between big jobs.

I designed this new razor so that it could be manufactured on a single milling production pallet and the razors can be assembled while other machines were running. At a target price of $95 USD it's a good little razor. Plus, it's a dual-comb design so you get a mild and medium razor in one. Dual-comb was always the single most requested feature for the Charcoal Goods razors.

The website, branding, marketing, and order processing is out-sourced. Beyond designing the razor and telling the team to sell 200 a month I'm largely not involved. If they start hitting my sales target on a regular basis I'd consider offering different options or bringing back some of the Charcoal Goods designs. 

It looks like the current price set at $35, which is about the same price as a Merkur 23c. The temporary low price has something to do with Google Shopping Ads ranking and will slowly creep back up to $95 as the product gains advertising auction share. There is some sort of strategy there.

The target market is 18-44 year old men, which is basically 0% of this forum, but if you liked the Charcoal Goods Level 1 or the Everyday model you'll probably like the new razor. The magnets work pretty well and give it a wow factor.

I hope CG will come back and you'll offer even better razors than before. When you do, I'll place an order.
