Razor/Blade:- WCS American Liberty CNC / Gillette Minora Stainless #1
Post/After-shave:- T.N. Dickinson Witch Hazel Astringent mixed into the 240ml bottle with Invite E High Potency Pure Oil (10 drops), Natural Plant Glycerin (20) & Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (5)

WOW!.. Just WOW! A very comfortable smooth shave with a very slightly edgy blade feels, as YMMV. I believe the efficiency of this razor fits right in between or in the middle of the Blackland Blackbird Standard and the Lite base plate. This razor is definitely a real keeper until I find the perfect stainless steel handle with the same original weight design instead of the WCS American Liberty original handle.

While I'm waiting for @Errol for a full complete review on the WCS American Liberty CNC razor is all 100% stainless steel, the whole head was originally designed by Charcoal Good, but, the production machinery isn't done by the original Charcoal Goods.

I believe West Coast Shaving may have bought the original engineering head design by Charcoal Goods, before, closing down their business. Remember I have NO solid confirmation information between Charcoal Goods and WCS and that's why I'm waiting for @Errol to give us a full complete review. ASAP!

The weight of the WCS American Liberty CNC razor is 112g, and the Blackland Blackbird razor is 93g, both razors are fully stainless steel.

Here's the website for this razor above and below the youtube clip https://www.westcoastshaving.com/products/wcs-american-liberty-cnc-safety-razor
