I have a number of nice razors, available new in the (approximately) $75 to $150 (USD) price range. Figured I'd compile my shaving notes and pics in one place with additional impressions of each razor, positive and negative.
***Please remember that I do NOT chase BBS. My shaves are routinely in the DFS to DFS++ range and that's fine by me. I occasionally still hit BBS without trying, usually with razors outside the parameters of this comparison.***
This is very much In My Opinion and YMMV so please keep that in mind.
Please feel free to contribute your own shaves and opinions and/or comment on mine.
With that, let's begin:
Karve Mixed OC-C 20201204
Razor: Karve Mixed OC-C (Brass handle and cap + Stainless OC-C plate)
Blade: Personna Israeli Platinum Red (4)
Brush: Semogue Owners Club (SOC) Premium Boar, Taj Resin Handle
Bowl: Captain's Choice Copper
Lather: Proraso Blue Cream
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman
Fragrance: Canoe
I really like this razor. Lots of flexibility with a wide variety of SB and OC plates. Very good combination of smooth, efficient and effective. My shaves with the Karve Mixed OC-C (Brass handle and cap + Stainless OC-C plate) are really pleasant with excellent results. Recommended.
More to follow.
