Exactly why I recommended the Yates, even though the Overlander is my favorite razor.If you don't like mild razors, I would rule out the overlander.
The Overlander is nothing like the Christopher Bradley.Yates, 100%.
I have not used the Overlander, but I do own a Cristopher Bradley with B, C, D, and E plates. This razor has been mothballed several years ago. I never was a fan.
I bought a 921 and have never looked back. This has become my daily shaver. I own all 3 geometry base plates. I only use the M on my head, but the H and EH I use routinely based on different factors. I see that you only shave every 2 - 3 days. Is that because you only need to remove whiskers that often or is your situation in life such that you can grow it out that much? The reason that I ask is the EH plate is quite aggressive. The H plate is not as aggressive so it will require more passes to get the job done if you're dealing with a heavy 3 day growth.
My favorite aspect of the Yates over every other razor I have used is the angle that the razor works best in. It is a near vertical (steep) angle that I find this razor works best in. It is a very intuitive angle for me to shave with.
I have met Chris from Karve and he is a stand up guy. His customer service is excellent. I have not met Jake Yates but I will tell you that his customer service is also stellar. I think it's a draw in that area (if that kind of thing matters to you).
If you are doing an apples to apples comparison (stainless steel), the Karve is $239 vs the Yates (921) is $159. For $240 you can build a 921 in titanium. I own both SS and Ti versions of the 921 and I wholeheartedly prefer the Ti version. It is a very nimble. My only "complaint" I have about Ti is its ability to hold water. SS retains more water (surface tension I guess). I have had to learn the habit of rinsing my razor more often to replenish the water held in the head. That might not make sense unless you have experienced it. I do not like aluminum or brass metals for shaving.
If I may, my back up razor is a RazoRock Lupo. I own the 58, 72, and 95 plates (I do not own the 127 plate yet, but I will ).
The Lupo is a fine razor that is very affordable along with many plates to fine tune what you are looking for. If they made a Ti version, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one as well. In my experience, the angle used with the Lupo is slightly more shallow than the Yates but still steep enough for my liking.
I didn't like the Christopher Bradley, but love the Overlander.
