He's getting a pretty good grilling on FB right now because he released a video for the Aluminum release that is happening the same day as the Titanium release and so far there have been a few posts wanting to know where their razors are and asked why no one from Karve has contacted them to let them know when their polished razors will ship!! We were told by Chris last week or week before that everyone that had one on order had been contacted and also sent a credit to be used on the site in the future, but what I'm seeing in the comments would suggest that may not have happened.... [Image: huh.png]

I would suggest people comment on the various social media posts to apply pressure. The boycott thread on reddit definitely got their attention.

It's Groomroom not Groomsman.

It took me a few attempts to find the channel.

His technique is bad. Almost non-existant. There's nothing to learn from him, I wonder why he even makes videos. A clown. I'd use the money he spent on shavings to fix my teeth, if I were him.

Enough with all these promoters.

Chris said on social media that his goal is be able to ship the Titanium razors out the day after the drop. Who would have thought that, when folks were placing orders for a polished SS Karve back on Black Friday (November 29th), that they could have had a Ti Karve in their hands sooner than the polished razor they were ordering?!

And yes, Jack on Virtual Groomroom demonstrates a disturbing lack of self-awareness with his comments while using the polished SS Karve in his videos. Also, consider orthodontics.

A page or two, maybe three ... back I'm pretty sure I posted that I received the email with $100 CAD discount code. One reason I'm going for a Ti. 

Sorry about the mistake with the youtube channel name ...  Rolleyes

I am following up on a post (#1585) I made last week and would like to share my experience with Karve.  I placed an order on Sunday, April 12th for a brass daily shaver kit.  My thinking was and is, this guy has taken some heat on customer service,  timely deliveries, misleading inventory levels, etc. etc., so now would be a good time to order.  Well, today, the 22nd, DHL dropped off my completed order at my house in Florida.  Apparently, I just got lucky, or maybe the company is starting to change.  I really don't know, but I am happy with the company so far.  If I truly like this razor, I will order one in stainless (but not polished - I'm not stupid) and maybe even titanium. 

And just so you know, I have absolutely no affiliation with Karve, the owner or any people associated with Karve.

You were one of the lucky ones. It took 9+ weeks for me to receive mine.

Trust me - I’m far from a “gentleman” but this is ridiculous even to me. I assume the commenter is put together like Adonis, otherwise something something “glass houses”
