Another fantastic Bison shave.
Awww man. I’m not a fan of that.
That bottom silver plate kills it for me.
I planned on getting a couple of other Bison colors, but if I have to get that silver baseplate, I’m out.
Bummer.
Same. I can't figure why Karve would do this. I was planning to get the tangerine color but it just looks wrong with the silver baseplate.
Maybe the anodizing process is more difficult for the baseplate. Since the Bison is supposed to be the lower cost, higher volume product, I assume it's a cost- and time-saving measure.
Just my own artistic view...
I like bimetallic appearances, and this dual-color appeals to me.

Then you know two people aren’t standing between you and your next Bison. Would’ve been three, but I was out when I saw the handle length wasn’t customizable.
Looks pretty lit
I kinda dig it. I like the look of the tangerine/silver and the blue/silver. I need to buy one before they raise the price like they did on the Overlander.
I agree, that black one looks good.
The rest look like mismatched parts bin razors.
Like @profusion said, it’s likely a cost and/or time saving decision.
Hopefully he’ll add a drop-down option on the website for matching color baseplates in the future.
Or better yet, a Stainless Steel Bison
Not a fan - would only take a 100% clear razor
Looks like I selfenabled
...ordered the above two days ago
Razor should ship next week. Looking forward to using it with the Knopf Pommel handleThe regular unicolor Bisons are coming back at some point according to Karves instagram
That's good news. I was thinking of sending Chris an email saying that the silver base plates interrupt the visual integrity of the razor and its appearance of unity.Looks like I selfenabled

As soon as they bring back the unicolor Bisons, I'm buying one!
Great news!
When the unicolors come back I’ll order a green one and orange one… and maybe a black one too, ha!
As much as a love the Overlander, the Bison has become my favorite razor. The head geometry & shave angle is perfection.
What made you reconsider getting another Overlander?
