Are brass stocks holding their own?
Anything new on the SS version or still very slow?
Aluminum or titanium still a pipe dream at the moment?

Think I’ll order a brass with the regular cap for variety.
Thanks guys,
Bill
Website says the current lead time on regular items is 1 week.

I've been watching a few forums and haven't seen anyone receiving a new razor from Karve in 2-3 months now!!

Interesting. Their Instagram has been quiet, but probably due to Jack no longer being around.

I emailed asking about titanium, we’ll see what response is out there.

I have two Wolfman razors and I still prefer using my three Karve Aluminum, Stainless and Brass razors. I wish Chris could get it together enough to make the Ti ones.

I think there are major problems here of late and think Chris may have bit off more than he can handle!! I saw Jack is selling his polished Wolfman on FB the other day though...

Whoa! Even the mention of titanium was a lark. He probably even regrets the SS polished. Could have stayed with the brass and the SS and left it at that. We’ve talked the daylights out of this, but I don’t think it’s too late to throttle back and get a firm footing with brass, and SS only. Do up the polished list and leave it at that. Dance with the girl that you brought to the dance. I’ll probably order a brass and see what happens. Gosh, if you follow the chronology he expanded so quickly.

I've only seen posts where people have purchased from FB groups or BST's on a couple forums until yesterday someone posted one they ordered and received a SS razor earlier this month. Other than that I've not seen any new razors in the wild for months...

I was somewhat aware of their shipping issues but not all of this. Part of me still wants a Karve Brass with a B and C plate but perhaps I can find one secondhand. None of this sounds like it is worth it. I was hoping to find another smooth feeling razor similar to my SB Timeless .68 but maybe I need to look elsewhere.

Get a Yates 921-M. Back in stock at 7pm est tonight. Very smooth but efficient.
