On the other hand, significant increase in efficiency.
I can give more detail feedback after I will compare with my other razors.
But I can say for now, I am definitely going to order "++" .

One more feedback, I lately got some vanyulay soaps.
This aquarius base is very slick and gave me excellent post-shave performance.
Only $8 and one of the best soap I have ever tried.

I followed the link, and they have some fantastic soap labels. If anyone want to see some fancy resin shaving bowl, they have some of the nicest ones. Very artistic looking site too.

Hats off to Carbon Shave and DFS to error on the side of caution. Like many other small businesses, these delays of product introductions have a big impact on sales. Another shave forum stopped both pass-arounds and BST listings.

With asthma, I would be in the higher risk group. Could my name be moved down 1 position (I am currently next in line).

                        Carbon "++" vs. Wolfman .94 SB

[Image: 1586053835170.jpg]

[Image: 1586053835000.jpg]

I had around 1.5 to 2 days growth. Wolfman has a Stork Ti handle. 
Both weigh less than 100 grams and have thin heads. Pretty maneuverable. 
Carbon blade gap: 1.08mm and Wolfman: 0.94mm 
2 pass shave WTG and ATG. 

Efficiency: Their efficiencies are very close to each other. Hard to say which one is more efficient. 
Smoothness: I can say Carbon is smoother and easy to find correct angle. I can use it as auto-pilot. 
I can use it as a daily razor with GSB or GP blades. I have to be careful and put attention when I use WR1 .94.
Blade: Wolfman has a bit more blade feeling, but WR1 holds the blade slightly more rigid and less audible. 

If you are a fan of CG LV 3 or high gaps WR1, I think you gonna like Carbon '++".

Next shave: Carbon "+" vs. Karve "E"

Great review and comparison! I am definitely in for the ++.

It is a great razor. I wonder whether we can get "++" of CX-Marine.

These new plate/ gap offerings will definitely have me plunging on a Carbon finally.
