Karve or carve?

They're OK. Brass or stainless?
I just bought the ss Karve with #C and #D plates (SB).
It's fine on either plate.
I also have a ss Timeless .68 OC and the Karve #C is about the same shave.
The Karve #D plate slightly better.
Hard to go wrong with a Karve really. If the plate doesn't suit you just buy the plate that does.
What are you getting? We need piccy's and reviews too you know.
 
Anyone tried the plate cc and oc “AA”?
No, I haven't...but I'm sure they're as safe as shaving with a malt biscuit or a slice of cheese in the razor instead of a blade.
Yeah, OK...what I really mean is expect Mild on Mild on Mild.
There must be a demand for those plates otherwise why would Karve make them.
For folks with sensitive skin? Maybe. For folks just starting out in DE shaving? Maybe.
I found the C plate too mild (for me), so hard to imagine an AA plate.
The worry is that the AA would be so mild that you needed too many passes and then you get irritation.
Do you have a need for an AA plate or just thinking about one?
Hey...cool avatar you have. I worked on those little suckers when they were brand new (now retired ex BMC mechanic).
 
Hi guys Sorry to resuming this thread, but I didn’t find any other thread about karve.
Anyone tried the plate cc and oc “AA”?
Thank you
I have the SS set, SB from A right through to E and the A is as you would expect mild but with the right blade perfectly usable so I would imagine that the AA would again useable with the right blade if you wanted a very mild razor.

Paul.
 
Brass and SS here, both C plate, which I find just perfect for me.
They are great razors, I cannot comment on higher or lower plates as I have not tried them, I am thinking of getting a B OC plate though (not that I need one ;)) and i do like the look of the copper version.
 
I have the Brass with B & C plates
i’m actually in two minds whether to buy more plates or not
but anyway it’s a very efficient an good looking razor.
It’s a pity you couldn’t loan one to see if it’s to your liking.
i would have gave you a loan of mine however i’m still in Norway and don’t get a day off to deal with the shipping.

I genuinely don’t think there’s anything to dislike & once it’s aged a bit it will just add to the character
