Chris on Instagram says the stands will be on sale this Monday

A G plate! No wonder he put a cleaver in the pic.

I loved the cleaver logo... He should look into having it etched on the bottom point of handle, like you see on brushes.

I have one of the G plates on order. I will let you know how many bandaids I need after the first use!

Karve and the owner Chris are incredible. Oc with B plate is my favourite razor in my small collection so far. I had the pleasure of visiting his shop as I live in the same city. He was very kind, passionate and gave great advice as to what I should try. Im very supportive of this creator and artist and love their product. Plus he’s creating north american jobs!!! I will be buying any aluminum, ss or other options they come available.

I just bought a new Karve razor and while it looks great, I am not impressed compared to my Razorock gamechanger.

What plate did you get? Also, what version (plate) of the gamechanger?

I'm a very mild shaver. I use the B plate but am currently toying with the A for better 'smoothness' (ATG).

If I'm correct, the GC is either .68 or .84... So it would roughly line up with the B or the C solid bar plates. The B is neutral exposure, but the C is slightly positive exposure. It's my understanding that the GC is a tiny positive, probably less than the C? Not that these are by any means all of the forces in play, but it's a rather good start for comparison.

Honestly, I'm just curious what you are experiencing. I had considered a GC many times, but balked at buying it because I wasn't sure the 'feel' (again, I gravitate towards mild).

I hope you find a better shave with it, over time.

I tried the GC .84 and Karve D side by side and while in the smoothness department they are barely distinguishable, The D plate is slightly more efficient for me
