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.

The other unplated brass razors I have, an Ever Ready and an Old Type, smell the same to me. And I have to put my nose right up to them (and the Karve) to get anything.

A plated Karve would be a joy.

Has anyone tried the E plate as of yet? If so any thoughts/impressions?

 

[rawfox1]

Can anybody compare the Karve with the Rex adjustable. Thanks

I've now used the D and F plates, twice, and I can easily say that the F plate is my favourite. I used the F plate this morning with two days' growth and most of the hair was removed on the first WTG pass. This sounds aggressive, but it isn't. Blade feel is remarkably well contained and there's no loss in smoothness to the D plate in achieving this level of efficiency.
I'm putting the D plate away and continuing with the F, only.

I went straight in for the kill. Karve with F plate and 3’’ handle on order.

Thanks primarily to you, David @Optometrist, taking the CG Lvl3 I got from you as a common reference point.

Oh I needed another razor, of course I did! My bank account was in dire need of flushing, too! Reasonably priced, though, the Karve, and low postage.

Halvor, well done and you won't be disappointed, I'm sure. The F plate is a tad less efficient than the level 3, but is smoother and more user-friendly.

Bought a 3" F here too. We'll see Thanks for the advice @Optometrist

Giving this advice, perhaps I should now run, before you both receive them.

Not to worry. You offered your opinion, unsolicited; I take full responsibility for my own actions

I keep reading about the brass Karve developing a patina with use and on another forum, someone mentioned his was showing change after just one use.
I've now used my F plate, seven times, and my D plate, twice, so my handle and top cap have seen nine uses. Everything still looks the same as when new. Not sure if I should consider this as fortunate, so far, or unlucky.

Maybe you have corrosive water...
