Maybe the extra vitamin D from yesterday’s sunshine boosted your beard growth?

It is a great shaver but if you don’t like the smell of brass its probably the worst offender i’ve ever used

You know that's you right? Some interesting scientific reading on the subject.

I gave in plate E on its way not fond of the metallic scent per se but I'm sure I could deal with it.

I don’t get it off the Charcoals
I have off others to a lesser degree than the Karve, so, yes it’s the worst offender

@Wayne ?

I have a cunning plan should it smell metallic

I found mine quite pungent especially when wet, put my teeth on edge and when two shavers sell the same razor for the same reason there has to be something in it.

It's chemical interaction with skin oils, not the brass itself. As they say , your skin oils may vary. It's related to our ability to smell blood, for which people have varying sensitivity. There are studies. I think the mods will be ok with a non shaving link:

Sir, thanks for sharing. Just out of curiosity. I suppose you have in your den two or more brassed razors. Your skin oil and your ability to smell blood are one, the same. Do you smell your razors exactly the same way? I compare my Gillette RFB and CG antique brass and Gillette smells much more metallic. Thank you.
