Karve or Rockwell 6C

[BudgetShaverGuy]

I own 4 Karves and a 6S (rebought it twice). R5 and R6 on the Rockwell, and B & C plates for the Karve (occasionally I go more aggressive, but not often).

If you are at all unsure of what you want in terms of blade feel and aggression, then the 6S is the most cost effective option, as you can try out 6 different set-ups via 1 purchase.

That said, the Karve is the "better" razor overall, imo. I use an OC "B" plate, or the SB "C" plate primarily, and they give a smooth as glass head shave, and are efficient without being irritating overall.

Have you ever used a Gillette New Long Comb? If so, how does it compare to the Karve B OC?

Nope. I have the Rockwell and the Karves and, when I get around to it, my few other remaining razors will be sold off, including straights.

I have both and they are quite similar with the New Long Comb slightly more efficient.
