Just posted to FB almost an hour ago... Only took 4 months but the first couple are almost ready!! Huh

Nice quiet Sunday...self-isolation continues. Great day for polishing. It always surprises me that such a messy process leads to something so clean. 
For those of you that are waiting, the first couple of polished razors are just about ready. And those of you that have asked, once the backorders are filled, we’ll be doing another batch again. There will likely be a small wait list and money will be collected when the razor is ready.

Thank you for that.  What I liked best was the part that went ". . . and money will be collected when the razor is ready".  That needed to be said.

That’s disappointing. Would much rather see people stand by their convictions.

You can count on me standing by mine... I won’t purchase anything from Karve unless they significantly change how they do business... Even then, they would have to make amends for all the BS that’s gone on and stop making excuses... And then, finally, demonstrate a consistent more ethical track record... Unless that happens, you can count on me standing by mine. I used my Charcoal Goods level 2 in brass tonight and it left me wanting for nothing. The night before I used my polished Timeless titanium... Neither has me missing my Karve tbh

I think its all smoke and mirrors and this guys true colors have emerged fully to this point!!  I'm sure he'll use this pandemic as an excuse for not getting them done and then there will be another crisis that will arise with him to delay it even more.... Nothing more than a common thief in my book!!


Yeah, it’s bad enough that they haven’t shipped the polished razors (despite being 4-5 months ago and presenting them as if they were ready for shipping... down right deceitful), but then they have the audacity to continue releasing new items like the new top caps (which I think was a terrible idea as it was poorly executed imo) and most recent, preparing for the titanium razor. When I saw Jack presenting the titanium razor on his channel and talking about Karve’s new plans, it feels like a slap in the face to customers who aren’t even getting their “in stock” items... Planning to release that titanium razor when you haven’t even fulfilled your last razors orders (polished version) is completely distasteful! And I can’t imagine how it would feel if I was one of the folks waiting for a razor.... I simply stopped buying from them a while ago and as I mentioned in a previous comment several weeks ago, I haven’t even used my Karve razor... They leave a bad taste in my mouth and I just don’t want to support a company like that.

Just a comment on the Ti Karve ... this has been the problem from the very beginning. The business plan.  Just do brass and SS. We didn’t need the plastic razor, or aluminum, or God knows the experiments that continue to be offered by this company. You can’t please all. Just because a few on instagram want a Ti razor Karve seems to jump on the idea, and tells us .. “we’re so excited to offer” post. I just don’t get it at,all.

Convictions? How about a statement? Or just my opinion stated in pixellated space? My opinion, statement, and my decision on how to spend my money as well as where and when to spend it. I am willing to give another chance, and Karve delivered. Granted it was only a $20 top cap, not a couple hundred for a polished SS razor. It's just shaving. Every day we get another chance to have a do over! So I extended that to Karve. And I let an intriguing, to me at least, idea of a wide body top cap entice me to open my wallet! ?

Man, I’m sorry Jimmy, that’s terrible. I had no idea they were still that backed up.

Agreed that they should clear their books of the people whose money they’re holding before they do another release.

They even released another small batch of aluminum razors last week.
