The Overlander has its roots in what we learned from the Christopher Bradley and from the feedback gathered from our fine customers.

Designed to be comfortable across a wide variety of conditions, the Overlander is great for daily shaves or with multiple days of growth. At home in your den, on a business trip, or at the cabin, the Overlander is there when you need it.

Like with the CB before it, the Overlander is intuitive to use. It's on the more efficient side of the spectrum, but not overly so. A moderate amount of blade exposure is combined with head geometry that won't punish you if you don't get the shaving angle quite right.

The blade is clamped securely, so blade chatter is minimized and the shave stays smooth.

Against the grain on the first pass, intentionally or not, is possible without getting nicked. It's a great feature for head-shaving, for when you're in a hurry, or if your beard doesn't grow straight and mapping it accurately is difficult.

Shave angle comes up a lot when discussing the CB. Many of our fans like the CB just the way it is, but a number of wetshavers prefer a more traditional shave angle. The Overlander runs closer to the nominal 30° and doesn't ride the cap the same way that the CB does.

The large passages on the underside of the plate make it easy to dump shaving swarf.

The Overlander head is designed around one plate and the blade tabs are covered. CB plates are not compatible with the Overlander.

The entire razor is constructed from solid brass and is bead blasted for a subtle matte finish. As is the case with all uncoated brass items, a patina will form over time and the surfaces will darken.

The razor is complete and only requires a blade to be ready to use.

Claire C. ★★★★★

Got my first shave in this morning and it's honestly the most forgiving razor I've used—even on a three-day beard in a hurry, no nicks or tugging. The way it's built off what they learned from the Christopher Bradley really shows in how stable it feels at a steep angle. It's become my daily go-to, n

Matthew T. ★★★★★

The brass head feels perfectly balanced on the handle, and the way it pivots makes the whole shave feel effortless even on my neck. I’ve used it for three weeks now and the finish hasn’t tarnished a bit, which is more than I can say for my old razor.

Lily J. ★★★★★

The machining tolerances are spot-on—the blade sits perfectly aligned every time, no fiddling needed. I’ve used it daily for two weeks and the brass handle gives just enough weight to feel solid without being clumsy.
