Just wondering if there is a big difference in aggressiveness. I have a GC .84 and Im Wondering if that is comparable to the level 2 charcoal plate. Anyone know?I can't compare it to the GC .84 since I've never tried one. I can say that I prefer aggressive razors, and the CG Lv 2 SB is NOT aggressive at all on my particular face.
More efficient than a Feather AS-D2. About on a par with a Timeless .68 IME.
The Lv 2 OC is decent, and would be okay if I was a daily shaver.
Lv 3 is delightfully aggressive in an SB, and a bit too much of a good thing in OC. I use both though.

I've always "assumed" CG just wasn't for me; more for guys who demand super high efficiency, maybe only shaving a couple times/week. Perhaps bad assumption.The L2 can be used as a daily shaver. The SB is not mild, but it’s definitely not aggressive. I would put it on the mild end of medium if that makes sense.

GC. 84 is closer to CG lvl3 SB than to lvl 2 SB. IMHO lvl 2 is on pair with GC. 68 and CG lvl 3 is slightly more aggressive than GC .84.

I find the level2 SB to be a very smooth daily driver way better than a Gamechanger.68 and the level 3 is significantly more efficient than a GC .84. The .84 gives a similar efficient shave as the level 2 SB but the Charcoal is smoother, I did these comparisons with a side by side shave off before selling my Gamechangers.
