I only have two pre-shaves, this and Maggards Lavender. Neither of which I feel add to the shave but seeing as I added it to a cart to make it worth the postage I may as well use it. If nothing else it just carries the scent right from the beginning to the last spray.
One note on the razor that I have finally admitted to myself. I went to (stupid) lengths to get the gen1 and I've finally come to the conclusion that this newer version of the CG level 3 really does outstrip the original...for me(can't speak for the gen2). Sure it's slightly bulkier so isn't quite as nimble under the nose, but in terms of comfort it is miles ahead and has the same level of efficient finish. Now I'm not saying I would get rid of the other, I do enjoy it, but it really does make it even more of a shame that they shut down production so early into the new ones creation.
Ramble over, cracking shave and smelling good.
Hope everyone has a good'un.
Cheers

Absolutely, the low profile on those are hard to beat, that's where this newer one is lacking. Definitely brass though, the more scarce SS looks nice but the brass just gives it more character (odd thing to say about a Razor but I know what I mean).Its a shame they shut shop. Charcoal Goods made some really intricate and unique razors. Personally my favourite is Gen 1, low head profile modeled after the Gillette New.
Lovely shave and a beautiful razor, especially the Brass, enjoy!
