    I believe @Gnomeo0228 would be interested in KROC. In his recent Stoylin videos, he used the Karve, and made no bones about how much he likes it.

    Do you find your D-OC plate to be equivalent to your E plate? Just wondering.

    Enjoy your shaves,

    I have a 3 inch handled brass C razor on the way, due to me Saturday, hurricane Dorian permitting. Looking forward to it.

    I think so. It is very close, the E plate may be very slightly more aggressive. I do feel that the OC plate is not as smooth as the SB plates, however slight as well.

    That's great, Gary! With all the focus on the stainless release you should have no problem picking one up. I love my Karve. I have the B, D, and E bar plates and am waiting for a B-OC which is according to Karve data equivalent to a C bar plate. I originally purchased my Karve with the E plate, which delivers an incredibly close shave, but requires that I pay attention to my technique as it is much more efficient than I have been used to. That's why I bought the B plate originally, because it is blade neutral like my Krona. I never gave much consideration to the closeness of my shave over the years, but now realize that the Krona delivered a DFS, but rarely, if ever, a BBS. I had to wait for my Karve and my Hawk for that experience. Welcome to the club in advance!

    Enjoy your shaves,

    Jeff

    My shave this AM with the new Karve and a B plate. Ended with a DFS, but nowhere near as close as the shave I get with my E plate. Love these razors!

    Jayaruh’s brush worked well. Guess I’ll use the new Yaqi Grace razor tomorrow.

    Enjoy your shaves,
