Thank you Ruds, obviously this review wouldn't have been possible without you loaning me the razor ;)

I have a CB in brass 3.5' handle and D,E,G plates on it gives me great shaves. Only one issue i have, that why couldn't they put the year stamped on next to the pins! I saw a ealier reveiw and saw the year stamped on next to one of the pins, but on mine there is nothing on it! So it would be awsome if the CB Company could in the future put the year on the razor like Gillette did and the Rex does it!!!!!!

I didn’t know the older models had the year stamped on the head!

Great review, Jon! My CB Brass has been a great razor for me, but I look forward to trying the aluminum one day for the lighter option.

Thanks a lot HD, I hope the aluminum ones are restocked soon!

I simply could not wait any longer for the aluminum, so I purchased the brass. I hope it can compete with the Rockwell 6s though. Ever since I used my Rockwell 6s I don't want to use any of my other 15+ razors. I have high hopes, but so far nothing has given me a smoother close shave than the 6s.

@Latherhog 2 жыл бұрын

The Rockwell is such a fantastic razor. The good news is that I find the feel of the shave between the Rockwell and Karve are VERY different. Has the Karve arrived? How has it been?

@@Latherhog I did get my Brass Karve with A,B,C SB plates. Now that I received the razor I am glad that the aluminum razor has been out of stock so long. I never would have ordered the brass otherwise. The Razor is absolutely gorgeous, feels great, and shaves like an S Tier razor like the Rockwell 6s/c. I agree with you 100%, they shave very different and I love both the Rockwell and Karve. I shaved with the Karve for about 4-5 days in a row, then I felt like a changeup. I then shaved with a Rockwell 6c, and it felt incredible as well. I trust both of these razors with my head shaves as well, and love them both. IMO, there is no better value on the market for razors than the Rockwell 6c and 6s. I recommend the Rockwell 6c to all beginning wet shavers, there is no better razor at that price point IMO. You also don't see stainless steel Razors beating out the Rockwell 6s at that price either. It generally offers a superior shave at a lower cost, even after the price increase. I am so glad I ordered the Karve CB, it will always have a place in my shave den. Amazing !

Great review, Jon! While I haven't tried a Karve razor yet, I did have a Rockwell 6S. I really didn't like the clunky feel that I got from the razor. Karve looks much sleeker and easier to handle. Speaking of handles, the Karve handle look great and functional. Thanks! Cheers! -Rob

Thanks for watching Rob! I agree that design-wise the Rockwell is a bit more clunky, but definitely still a solid shaver.

Jon, thanks for the informative video. I'm a little biased because I have the Talbot soap and the WCS honeycomb brush. I've ordered the aluminum razor and await it's delivery.

I owned a brass CB and I wanted to love it as the guy who makes them is from my hometown. Unfortunately, couldn’t get consistently irritation free shaves from it. I used the A, B, and C plates. Sold it to a fellow wet shaver who loves it. Switched to the Rockwell 6S and seem to get more consistent shaves with it.

Latherhog, no I’m not interested in the brass version. I want the stainless steel or the aluminum. I think I’m getting to get an ATT calypso, or Karve if I can ever find one.

Thank you for a great 👍 video! I'm very interested in the Karve aluminum razor since I already have the brass version. I also have the same soap (Talbot) and the WCS honeycomb brush. Great minds think alike. Keep up the good work. I'll be waiting for the comparison.
