Karve, or should I say, Chris, produces, in my opinion, very fine razors. However his customer service is, at best, inconsistent and at worst, non-existent. He may over promise and under deliver, but I don't think he has ever cheated anyone out of money. Granted he does not measure up to a Timeless or Blackland when it comes to communication and service, but the tradeoff is - you get an excellent product at a very good price.
There are very few companies in any industry that offer Service, Price and Quality. Most successful companies have two of these attributes, but not all three (yes, i know there are some exceptions). We should all know by now what to expect when we place an order with Karve. The point i am making is that Karve is what it is. We can accept it and hope it changes or move on to another vendor. Just my opinion.

Current lead time is apparently 1 week. Judging by what some people have been saying, this could be realistic.
On their website they look available, are they in stock or just pay then wait until it gets made/shipped ?

Oh yeah I didn't click that before. That's not bad, if realistic.

Word of caution, in stock to Chris only means that the parts have been ran and are waiting to be finished!! It would seem that finishing is not his strong suit. Remember also, the Ti razors were supposed to be finished and shipped back in May originally and they are still in production!! Probably won't see the light of day until summer 2021...

Slow deal on the TI, so it sounds.

Ti is a different kettle of fish and, incidentally, is also not listed as being in stock.
