Great looking daily driver. The blade gap is 0.73mm.

I put an order in for one. I enjoy my other Karve razor and for the price, I couldn’t say no. Also picked up an aluminum baseplate to try in my brass Karve. Had to make the free shipping threshold, lol.

I can't wait for the Aluminum Overlander to be released. I hear so many nice words about the brass model...

Is the blade feel hidden on this razor? Looking for some comparisons.

Low to virtually no blade feel. Feels like a Christopher Bradley B plate or B+. Efficiency of a D or E plate. Easily the favorite tool in the den right now. Chris has a masterpiece with this offering.

I had a CB with the B, C, and D I think. It's been quite a while since I have used it, but I think the agressive feeling for me seems to be fairly close to the B, it might even be a bit less. That is to say, it is VERY smooth (so far).

The efficiency I find more like a C+, almost a D perhaps? I still need 3 full passes and clean-up (as I do with all razors). With this razor, it has been so smooth, that the BBS is easy to achieve. That itself makes it a lovely razor to use.

I didn't have plate B , D ,E . I only have plate C . But, I fully agree with this opinion. Overland is a very soft razor. Very efficient. I will not say that he became number one for me. But this is a great razor, for me personally. However, it costs less than $100. I recommend trying it.

Amen!

Not only is it reasonably priced, It's also brass. It will likey outlive any of us, if you don't abuse it. Whole Brass isn't as strong as steel, it's not aluminum or Zamak either. It's solid.

I may have missed it, but I haven't seen any real talk about the construction. It's very solidly constructed. High quality and well thought out. Even the post on the top cap seems to be super long (he may have done this with the Karve too, I'm can't recall). To me, that says no matter how much I screw and unscrew it, it's never going to lose purchase on the handle. Even that odd-looking handle is comfortable and not slippery at all (for me).
