The Timeless Aluminum mentioned, I found -very- efficient, but the Karve comes also in aluminum and you can choose your plate, I've been eyeing those too as I enjoy light/aluminum razors as well.
what karve plate would you put the timeless at if you wanted a comparable efficiency. i am about to pull the trigger on a karve but really want a timeless to go along with my timeless ti slim which i loveThe Timeless Aluminum mentioned, I found -very- efficient, but the Karve comes also in aluminum and you can choose your plate, I've been eyeing those too as I enjoy light/aluminum razors as well.
Hey there, I don't have a Karve aluminum, its something I looked at a few times, I think I had decided on a -c- plate? But this is based on reading a few threads and making my own mental choice, not comparing it to the Timeless alum (which I do have). I haven't really had the itch to get another razor atm so standing pat for now.what karve plate would you put the timeless at if you wanted a comparable efficiency. i am about to pull the trigger on a karve but really want a timeless to go along with my timeless ti slim which i love
I had a Ikon Tech but I found it difficult to align the blade correctly... But it is a very good option indeed.The only aluminium razor I have is the Ikon Tek. I do like it but it is very aggressive - about the same as my Futur on #5, and slightly more aggressive than my Ikon B1 Standard, which in turn is noticeably more aggressive than a 2013+ R41.
As usual with Ikon razors you can buy the head only (about £31 on Shaving Time). I currently have mine on a THT titanium handle, which makes the whole thing extremely light and nimble.
Good point. I find the blade *usually* sits straight first time in the Tek, but not every time. I mainly use their stainless steel B1 now, which does align the blade properly every time. Of course the stainless heads are heavier and more expensive.I had a Ikon Tech but I found it difficult to align the blade correctly... But it is a very good option indeed.
Thanks.

+1 for the ATT Aluminum Windsor Pro SB90.I love my ATT Windsor Pro SB90. It shaves close and smooth without being too mild. I've tried many razors over the last 9 years that I have been with B&B and the SB90 is perfect. I don't want to use the rest of my razors. Get it. You won't be sorry.
