Showing off my new Captain's Choice Copper Lather Bowl. Some love it, some hate it, but I have to say I really enjoyed whipping up a nice lather in my new lather bowl. Isn't that what this is all about, enjoying a shave and all that goes with it?! What a way to start the day...

I'm very impressed with the RazoRock Game Changer .84 which is very very close to the Karve Christopher Bradley 'C' base plate (0.85mm) less than 0.01mm aggression rate against the Game Changer 0.84mm....

I, too, am a big fan of both razors you mention here, but be careful not to conflate blade gap with aggressiveness, as it is just one of multiple factors that contribute to how aggressive a razor shaves. Blade exposure and angle being two other important ones. But, yes, the blade gap of the GC84 and the Karve C plate are nearly identical.

That's what I like, a shot that really pops! Subtlety is too often overrated. Where do you find all these killer razor handles?
