I had Karve D, F plates (SB) and both GC plates as well as Jaws .84. I liked GC .84 SB the most. Jaws felt smoother but tended to nick, and Karve I liked the least.
Sold them all in the end.
I've been using Blackland Dart and Blackbird razors for around 9 months exclusively, and now I'm using Rockwell 6S (plate 6). I thought I had it but still chasing my unicorn Nonetheless great razors all of them.Sold them all? What do you use now?
I have GC .84, Rocwell 6c (using plates 4 or 5) and Karve C/D/E SB plates in my regular rotation. For me Karve with D plate is almost identical to GC .84 (smoothness and efficiency) and slightly more efficient than Rocwell 6c on 4. Between these 3, I definitely prefer Karve and GC over Rocwell 6c.GC 0.84-P and Rockwell 6C R5/6 are my two go to razors but I'm really interested in picking up a Karve cb as well I'm just not sure which plate to choose C or D ? I shave every 2/3 days so I need some efficiency but not necessarily over aggressive
+1I have the Karve OC D plate and GC84. GC84 feels smoother and more enjoyable to use. Karve is not bad but it's got a lot more bite and not as smooth. It's plenty efficient though.
