Challenger plastic SHaDE thingie. - Wchnu - 08-24-2020
So thanks to a shave buddy I got to try out the Challenger razor from India. It does have that unmentionable plastic garbage look to it. After using it though I feel ok with it. The design is not meant to be a game changer I think. It is simple and cheap. I used a half Derby and really got a nice shave. I Used my same routine and technique. If you like different and new fangled stuff give this one a try. It will not be replacing any of my vintage razors lol.

Nice shave, Fuzzy. Interesting SHaDE thingie.

I had another pretty nice shave with the challenger last night. It was once again easy to use and effective. This time around I do not have the Goatee so it had to take care of the chin and bottom lip. There were no issues. I have been told there is a OC version out there. As I said before it will not replace any of the vintage stuff but it is fun to use as I enjoy taking a less expensive tool and using it to do a good job.

Looks like this one has bit the dust also. It is out of stock everywhere that I have looked and no one is saying it will be back in stock.

Anyone know if they started making these again. Super shave tonight with a new half of Derby and vintage Old Spice soap. Yaqi brush for the win!!

I have been looking for one for a while with no luck. They don’t seem to be available, not under that name at any rate. There must be some somewhere.

There was a rumor of a OC version. I never found one of those either
