Hi John. Nice shave comparison. These are really very high quality razors here. I love watching your comparisons, and admire your well pointed explanation of the subtle differences between razors.❤👍🏾
You are absolutely one of the best reviewers🏆 You check several boxes ✅ out of my personal needs were I find your conclusions matching mine 100%👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 When investing a new razor, you have helped me a lot 1000xThank you 🙏
What carbon plate are you using which is a comparison to the blackbird because I like how the blackbird shaves but I’m considering picking up a carbon razor
Great video John! I’m of similar mindset... for me the perfect razor would be extremely efficient while minimizing blade feel. Glad you enjoyed the soap!
Thank you! Some of my current favorites performance wise are Løthur, Spearhead (Highland base) , B&M Omnibus . Ease of lather is hard to beat with SV though. Cheers
Hey Doug! Yes blades can effect performance and everyone has their own preference of blade. So I at least used the same blades in both razors to try and eliminate that variable as best as I can. Thanks for watching
Had a cubebe in 4.3 and mdc original when I had access to European soaps. Didn't like the performance of cubebe compared to mdc, but I guess I was using too much hydration as my lather was a lot more runny than yours. Great shave, awesome razors. After paying 73$ for a karve and 55$ for a game changer, paying $200+ for a single razor seems redundant for now :)
Wow interesting! I have 3 soaps in 4.3 and much prefer it to MDC. I've noticed with some of these vegan European soaps are easy to overhdyrate & they don't feel as protective or cushiony so I try to hydrate them just enough to the point that they still feel slick but still dense if that makes sense. I don't blame you the GC has beaten many razors for me that are even 5x the price. I was not too crazy about the Karve personally. Thanks for watching

I agree! Why not have both comfort and efficiency right
Just came upon this review. Very nice unbiased review. Finally, from a RUclipsr. Congrats. Could you share what some of your elite soaps would be?

Great shave John! Have yourself a fantastic weekend eh!
Thanks Justin! Hope yours is great as well!
John shaves you’re welcome buddy! And thanks, I hope so too lol.
have you ever tried the Lambda razors? Athena or Ares V2?
Nice comparison video. The word you were looking for is bloom.
Thank you! Yup that’s it completely blanked out lol
Actually it’s soaking( to soften),. blooming can be done wet or dry, but is to bring out the scent.
Привет Джон,спасибо за видео,Дрозд есть в наличии а вот о покупке Carbon думаю давно. Попробуй cubebe классный аромат.
Nice shave John. Both of those are winner razors IMO:)
Yeah you can’t go wrong with either one. Thanks for watching Chris!
I'm a straight shaver but doesn't different blades effect performance?

Hey John good to see you.
Hope all is well.
Hey Samuel hope you have a great day!
As long as you keep one of these you get to stay in the #bladefeelfam
Keeping the Blackbird fosho
got’dang carbon tried to eat my buddy 👋✌️
just saw this lol . damn near trying to bite my head off 🤣
The Dart has way more blade feel than the Blackbird!
What’s up Nate! Yes it does that’s why I had to let it go
The Carbon has been dropping out of favor for a few folks lately...
Yeah but a lot of people still love it!
What’s the reason people doesn’t like the Carbon anymore?
@@TurreTuntematon probably the price
