Just stumbled across this earlier today. Never heard of them until this morning. The Karve Shaving Company. They are producing an all brass DE razor with multiple plate guards from mild to a more aggressive shave feel. Optional guards and handle sizes to suit a shavers particular style. Very interesting. Looks like upstart companies are trying to capitalize on the wet shaving boom and trying to get in on the market. I'm keeping a close eye on this one. Looks like it might have some potential.

The Christopher Bradley razor is a classic double edge safety razor that will provide a smooth shave and years of service. All aspects of manufacture are meticulously controlled to provide consistent performance and clean aesthetics.

Most notably, the handle is decorated with a pattern that is inspired by the centuries-old guilloche technique commonly used in watch making. The pattern is cut into the body of the handle, instead of formed, which ensures that all of the edges of the pattern are smooth and clean, while still providing plenty of friction for wet fingers.

The razor is available with any one of 5 different solid bar guards, each with increasing aggressiveness, to tailor you shave to you face and style. Optional guards, sold separately.

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.

The handle is available in 3", 3.5", and 4" lengths to suit your style. All handles employ a #10-32 thread.

95g x 83mm long / 110g x 98mm long / 120g x 108mm

100% Made in Canada

Please specify which guard you want when you go through the checkout. They are AA (least aggressive), A, B, C, and D (most aggressive). B is a great guard for a mild shave or for beginners. If you're not sure which guard you want, I will be confirming each order before they go out and you can still change your mind then.

Please note, shipping is expected for December 11. Razors will be shipped on a first come-first serve basis. If at any point before your razor ships, you decide that you don't want to wait any more, please contact us for a refund and we'll be happy to provide it, no questions asked.

That looks very splendid indeed. Not overly dissimilar to the Blackland Dart, but then again, how many ways can you adjust / modify the design and aesthetic of a DE (or any flavour of razor)? Let us know how is shaves, won't you?!

Cheers,

Kerry.

OMG, Jose... that was very fast and looks a beautiful razor.
Mine shipped on the same day as yours, but it's guaranteed to be delayed a few days by customs. Grrrr.

Expecting a "C" plate in the mail, so I'll post thoughts as well when I get to shave with it...

Desfruta de la maquinilla, Jose.

Very tempted by F baseplate, 3.5'' handle... But I don't like brass

I didn’t either but the bead blasted brass is the smoothest (and finest) razor I’ve used.

If forced with a choice I’d easily give up the more expensive and somewhat unobtainable Wolfman SB .74 WRH7 and Paradigm 17-4 in my den.

Wow that is really high praise I am waiting for my Karve with the D E F plates any day now. I have many high-end razors that I love that are smooth and efficient like all three paradigm, Timeless .95, Rocnel Elite, Pils, Tatara, Charcoal Goods

Thanks for your message !
It's brass. The razor can shave better and better. But I still don't like brass, and I'll never like it. As I hate vintage in all its forms. If a razor doesn't have a great look to me, I don't buy it. My judgment passes first from an aesthetic point of view. Then I consider the efficiency.

Have you already got the F baseplate?
