Karve Shaving Co. A new DE Brass razor to market.

I ordered 4 days ago and I haven't heard anything from Karve yet as well.

So ordered one of these 10 days ago and it said expected delivery today but the tracking hasn't updated since it got to LAX.... on the 26th "we rely on local post offices to provide tracking"..... those of you that have ordered these was there normal tracking to your door like packages shipped inside the US or did it merely arrive one day?

Thanks

Shipped same day. Edmonton, AB to Calgary to LAX all tracked. Tracking ended at LAX and sat there for a day or two then just arrived at the door here in New England. Exactly 7 days from order to door.

I ordered 5 days ago, not yet shipped. He's not answering his e-mail.

It can be frustrating but this is a side interest for Chris. He’s a mechanical engineer by trade working for a firm in Edmonton, a Canadian armed forces alumni and an amazing machinist as Karve owners all know.

Like all of us he probably gets home, helps feed the kids, cleans the kitchen and falls asleep!

Same here.  I sent him an email early this morning with the subjet as my order number and haven't received a response.  It would be nice if there was something on Karve's web page stating he is backed up and shipments will be delayed by a few days or a week or something.  That way we would know what is going on.  This is what Joe does at his Italian Barber website which informs his customers about the delay.  I know I have not been waiting long and that is not the primary issue for me.  It is the lack of any type of communication that needs to be improved.

Yes, well stated! I have talked to him several times via email and his Instagram page and he is definitely preparing for mass shipments but he admits that he is not great at returning emails and inquiries that well. He makes up for it by making an amazing razor with some of the best machining in the industry. When I first ordered my razor with D plate, it got stuck in customs for 2 additional weeks around the Christmas holidays. The E and F plates that he sent me arrived within 1.5 weeks from Canada. I live in Atlanta, GA. so I always expect 2 weeks on international deliveries. I know we are all expecting to get our razors ASAP after we place orders but, trust me, it is definitely worth the wait!!

Pretty much sums up my weeknights.

If you have the E or F plate is there really any of the need for the D or any other plate

I doubt that I will need any other plate. I will probably keep my D plate just to pass down to a son in law or grand son one day. As long as I’m using a great moisturizing soap like Grooming Dept, CRSW Glide or Wholly Kaw Donkey Milk, my skin will always be in good shape from shaving. I like a slightly more aggressive razor while still being smooth and the E and F plates hit that stride in spades for me. Again, this is just my opinion. I see that some of the guys on all of these threads feel like the D is too aggressive for them. To each their own. I think Chris has done an incredible job hitting the sweet spot for everyone with all of his varied plates and to top it off, the machining is done on an extremely high level so this one is a forever keeper for me.
