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

This is an email from Chris Kirchen @Karve Shaving that I received earlier this afternoon:



Just be patient Gents, he’ll get them out. He’s just getting hammered with a rush of orders. As a few others have posted previously, the razors will be eventually shipped.

Thanks for this info, Gus. It seems Karve has entered into the territory of accepting orders without stock to fulfill them, although I could be completely wrong. Last I checked, an hour ago or so, one could still order the E and F plates. Unless I’m way off, his supply should have sold out yesterday or this morning. We’ll see, and I’m not stressed. I’m off to Pennsylvania tomorrow, and won’t be able to accept delivery for ten days anyway...

Better to have to wait than to see quality slip. I'm happy to see a new business with a good product get behind on orders. That's success. Now he has to see whether this sudden popularity is just a surge or sustainable before he can decide how to address it. Good problem to have.

5th shave with the Karve D plate using a Kai blade. Just another wonderful smooth and efficient shave. Look forward to trying the E & F plates when Chris has a chance to catch up

Ordered online with d e f plates on Wednesday still no shipping notice

I ordered a 3 1/2 with a 'c' plate only razor on Sunday May 6th and haven't heard a thing yet. After the release of the E & F plate it looks like the site does not show out of stock so no way to know if all the pieces need to be made.

I don't expect responses etc. on weekends but 8 days without a word is a little ridiculous in my opinion. I don't NEED the razor I just expect something to let me know progress is being made even if that is a simple email saying expected ship date is 2 weeks etc.

Finally got shipping notification (without tracking number) 10 days after purchase.

Thanks for the update. Maybe that means he is starting to get things sorted. I’m looking forward to getting notification of my D razor shipping soon.

I bought a 3.5’ with C and D on saturday 5th.

We both ordered on the same weekend and I got a notice last night. No tracking info yet either. I also included a question when I ordered but have not gotten a response yet. Just glad I finally got confirmation as I was starting to wonder if something had gone wrong.

Chris just posted his progress on instagram (karveshavingco) and is working his butt off to get orders out! Great work!

I saw his post on Instagram. He will catch up with this onslaught of orders. The best part is his maintaining quality as a priority.

His quality is clearly a priority. A good number of rejects going into that red bucket. Chris is taking his time and doing it right.

I recently received a Rockwell with numerous bubbles compromising the top cap. Sloppy to say the least. The Rockwell is no longer in the den as the Karve is easily a superior shaver in my use.
