Per Brian there are 12 stainless steel level 3 razors remaining ready to ship. I have the lvl 2 in brass and am looking to try the more aggressive option. Any thoughts on the lvl 3? I purchased a maze stainless steel handle previously, bummed the baseplate and top cap aren’t available separately.

Apparently hes down to 5 or so level 1 complete razors. Im pretty happy with level 2 and i got 2 handles.
A word of warning in that the lvl3 is way more aggressive than the lvl2. I found it to be too much for me.
5 complete razors or 5 razors for each handle choice? Isn't that more like 25 razors left ready to ship?
His new version of the level 3 is just as good at removing my whiskers as the original but it is significantly smoother. I was able to use mine daily for 7 straight shaves without any problems, still getting BBS in 2 passes and touchup under the jawline.

I took his response to me that he has 5 complete. So 5 baseplate and top caps. Match with whatever handle. I would think hes got more handles around but 5 level 1 base plates.
Ah, sorry didn't realise you have spoken to Brian. It's now down to 4 heads left...
In regards to the lvl 3 - does the lvl 2 with a feather blade increase the shave into lvl 3 territory?
Not for me. Level 3 is very efficient shave

Any news on your first try with the new level 1? Reviews are pretty thin on the ground and Brian's stock is running dangerously low. Would be great to get your thoughts and a comparison report if you get the time.

My new level 2 seems to be lost in the mail. It’s been 10 days, and priority mail is 2 to 3 day delivery. Tracking stalled out a week ago and the package hasn’t moved. I’ve sent three emails over to CG. Anyone know if all is okay over there? What should be my next step if I don’t hear anything back. You guys have experience dealing with CG, and this is my first transaction with them. Any guidance would be appreciated.
My latest order arrived a couple of weeks ago without a problem. I'm not in the states so can't know just how delayed the mail is, but expect long delays I imagine. Brian will respond to your emails but once the package leaves CG it is pretty much out of his control.
Please try and stay calm. I don't think it is lost, just taking the scenic route to you.
Brian is very good at responding. But in these unique days who knows what his circumstances are.
In the USA the recipient has very little control over dealing with lost packages. It’s the responsibility of the shipper to deal with that and file any claims. I understand the current situation and will exhibit as much patience as possible. However the package has been showing as last seen 50 miles from my house for over a week now. That is worrisome.
Thanks to this thread I just ordered my own CG, Brass, Level 2, Hammered handle. We'll see how long USPS takes to deliver it to TN.
I just received a text notification from USPS that my package has left the facility where it has been stuck for a week. So i have hope now! Fingers crossed! Thanks for the input guys!
USPS says mine was picked up at 2:53 PM today and should be delivered 4/17.
Sounds like Brian will most likely not be releasing any more razors this year, handles, antique brass and SS plans are on hold - low chance of happening now. He will just ship out the remaining stock...
