Karve replenished fairly quick, so you'll have more chances. Put it on your list (as Mike mentioned) and sleep on it a bit more (as Marko said)! It is a nice razor, but like Paul D wrote in his journal, it is NOT a two pass and done as some have said. I like it for the smooth efficiency, getting me closer shaved than the SB-B. I found SB-C too much for consecutive days. Not sure if it is as efficient as you seem to prefer. I'd be happy to lend you mine, as next week I really wanted to get back to single edge goodness! The Sabre, Hawk, General, and a bunch of GEMs are all clamoring for my attention as well as a new to me Type G! Shoot me a PM if interested and it'll out to you Monday!
(This way, maybe we can make it 48 to 72 hours in February, myself included!)

So For no good reason I was looking through eBay at vintage razors. I happened upon a Gillette long comb for dirt cheap, which looked like it needed a good cleaning. No bids on it and it was ending in a few minutes. Judging from the title, the seller really didn't know what it was. So, being a razor I have absolutely no use for, obviously I decided to jump in and snag it. In the end, I paid The pricely sum of just over $11 shipped to my door.
Nonetheless, I am actually very excited to get it, just so I can clean it up. Man, I am pathetic. Lol. Maybe I'll pif it in the future? Regardless, another piece of shaving history will be rescued from rust and rot.

They're GREAT shavers Paul. You may want to keep it

Looks great, Paul, hope you like it! And I am with you on OC shavers, not my cup 'o tea. But, I have two that work for me. The LC you sent me and the hybrid plate for the Yates 921. I sold all the Karve OC plates (all being 2!). And the GEM Micromatic OC is good, but being an SE, I shouldn't put it with the Long Comb and the Yates 921.

I just bought it to rescue it and clean it up. I'll post some before and after photos.
The odd things we do. Lol.
