Spring Workshop Update

We're still under construction in the new building. After battling the city of Bend, Oregon for nearly 6 months we should receive our final mechanical inspection in May. Following a successful inspection we will be issued our occupancy permit which will allow me to actually power on the machines and start working!

2020 was a tough year for everyone. Charcoal Goods experienced a covid-19 forced business shutdown, another out of state move, a shop relocation, and major buildout of a new manufacturing facility. I was forced to make some big changes so that I can continue to offer shaving products.
Once I open the new shop I'm hoping to keep the budget friendly Everyday safety razor head in stock as a 'Ready to Ship' item.
I've designed a brand new safety razor head that combines the shaving characteristics of previous Charcoal razors with information I learned while developing the Everyday.
This new premium razor will be offered in the classic Level 1, 2, and 3, along with a new custom blade gap/exposure baseplate option. It should be backwards compatible with most previously manufactured Charcoal razors.
I'm temporarily switching to a 'manufactured to order' system for these new razor heads. As a one man operation this is the most efficient process while I get the shop up and running.
While there are still many brass & copper razor handles in stock, there are no plans to manufacture any additional razor handles this year.

OPERATIONAL PLAN

• Phase 0 (Current)
  Our new machine shop is currently under construction and we are not manufacturing new shaving products at this time.
• Phase 1 (June/July 2021)
  Everyday Brass and Everyday Copper razor heads will be available on a 'Ready to Ship' basis. Heads will be sold without a handle.
  You can purchase a Charcoal Goods razor handle or use most existing razor handles threaded metric M5.
• Phase 2
  Begin accepting and processing custom orders for the new razor head design. No new razor handles will be manufactured this year.
• Phase 3
  If there is sufficient interest, the Everyday razor head will be made available in Stainless Steel.
  Unfortunately, matching Stainless steel razor handles will not be available this year.
• Phase 4
  Increase production of Level 1, 2, and 3 razor heads and add them to the 'Ready to Ship' section.
• Phase 5 (2022)
  Purchase new CNC lathe to re-start production of razor handles in a variety of designs and materials.
