Agreed. ThoseI think my 60 year old Fat Boy will outlive me just quietly....
That said, I haven't tried a Variant or Progress yet. So, maybe I need to knock 10 years off that estimate. Still amazing, though.

IMHO I'd say it's on par for aggression with the R41 but smoother and less blade feel than the Bronze OC - still enough to bite but once you perfect the angle it really shaves well. I was after a more eficient shave than the 6S on R6 plate and it offers that but YMMV and I'm aware you like them aggressive so D plate would suit youHow does the D plate compare to the R41 or Timeless Bronze OC?
Thanks @Razor Burn . The R41 is still currently my favourite and it sounds like the D plate would be about right. E and F now just sound scary.IMHO I'd say it's on par for aggression with the R41 but smoother and less blade feel than the Bronze OC - still enough to bite but once you perfect the angle it really shaves well.

Yeah the brass looks off putting so I was planning on polishing mine as some of the pic's I've seen look amazing.Update - really haven’t used much else apart from the B plate of late. Getting very good daily shaves from it now, very close and comfortable. Still not in love with the brass and I may get it cerakoted (if that’s a word).
Yeah I used to fear the R41 but since I've tamed it I manage to get great shaves out of it. For me the Bronze OC offers a close shave but is more suited to a few days growth as I don't particularly enjoy the blade feel on my face as a daily shaver. The Karve D plate really shaves close as in my two shaves I was left with minor nicks so if you're not careful it will bite but no irritation which is great. Only dislike is the blade over hang which is a tad extreme for my liking but really worth the hype.Thanks @Razor Burn .

What Instagram?Seen in Instagram he has posted out 50 orders today. That's 50 closer!
Got a shipping email today! The eagle has left the nest!
I’m thinking of getting a CB. Currently use a Muhle R89. Any idea which plate would be a touch more efficient?
Then there’s handle length. Given the hefty weight of the brass, the 3” might be unbalanced. So I’m guessing the 3.5” is the goldilocks.

@LukehGee looking at your posts on shave-of-the-day and notice that you alternate between A-plate and C-plate but no mention of a B-plate. Is the reason that the incrimental change too minor to be noticeable?
