Hey @BradWorld did you get a level 1 in the end?
Nimble handles are good - in my opinion.These handles are so different. Like @Music said the Stinger is oversized and heavy while the hammered is small and nimble. I bought both in brass with my first CG and barely used the Stinger, looks incredible but way too heavy for me. Depends what you like.

I tried a Voskhod in my lvl 2 for the first time. Excellent results. Nice and smooth. Close shave. Much less irritation. Gonna keep it in there for a few more shaves and see how it goes.
Awesome, Brad!Had an awesome shave this morning. Changed two things. First, I used a new Sputnik blade which was highly recommended in this razor. Second, I used a massively steep angle, which I never do. This was recommended by @Hannah's Dad, so i gave it a try. I am usually somewhere between a shallow and neutral angle shaver. I dont think I have ever shaved with this steep of an angle... ever. The shave was smooth as silk, and super close. DFS+ without any effort, zero irritation, zero drama. I am completely blown away.

My only experience with CG Gen 1 vs. CG Gen 2 is a Brass Gen 1 Level 3 plate vs. a Stainless Gen 2 Level 3 plate. The Gen 2, in my opinion, is smoother.Good that you figured it out. Personally I can't get comfortable shave going steep with my CG, maybe I need to try a higher level plate. Or would it be smoother with a gen 2 razor?
The Gen 2, in my opinion, is smoother.
I'm pretty sure the gen 2 is smoother and have a new level 1 on the way. I was just saying that I find a shallow angle smoother than going for a steep one.
I threw a stinger in my cart, then took it out. Very cool design, but not sure I dig the dimensions. As it is I am questioning the balance of the torpedo I ordered. We will see when it gets here.I ordered a copper stinger and copper hammered plus two brass hammered for my NEW OC and Deluxe
Well...i was weak too, I'm justifying it because it's the end of copper and brass. I don't think there will be anymore since he is going to SS with only one handle.I just ordered a brass Magnum handle to go with my regular brass Hammered handle. Because I'm weak, and that's what weak people do.
