New Karve on the way (damn rabbit hole)...

[Lego]

Ordered 25/9 and received dispatch advice today (6/10) . I wonder how long shipping will take - I’m guessing 2-3 weeks?

 

[LukehGee]

More towards 3 to 4 weeks

EDITED because you are a banned troll.

Over on B&B there’s second hand hearsay about a stainless Karve being released later this year:

Haven’t been around much lately.

I have only had the Krave for a little over a week.

My first couple of uses so far, best razor I have ever used and I have used a lot.

Which base plate are you currently using with your Karve

As most of you know I have a mild beard, I got the AA and A and have used A so far, I can shave with it everyday.

Probably will order B at some time

 

[SydBJW]

For me it is an amazing designed razor that has been well crafted.

I have some razors that are more sought after that for me shave nowhere as near as well as Krave (I won’t name them).

Just saying if you are thinking of getting the Krave just do it ( we are enablers here aren’t we).

Count me in stainless. That is must have for me. Brass, not so much.

Great to see you around Brendan! Hope all is going well mate and don't be a stranger.

I’m 100% ready for the Karve SS, I’m very serious enablers to ALL the base plate

I’ve ordered the extra plates required to put together a full compliment also.

Received my razor today. I’m quite impressed with the speed of delivery - about 2 weeks.

After initially deciding on the 3 1/2” handle, I changed my mind for the 3” handle. Not sure if I made the right decision. It sure looks ‘compact’.

@Lego what base plate did you get? 3 1/2” handle is perfect with extra balance and very comfortable with the weight while you shave.

 

[Lego]

I think you’re right about the 3.5”. I’ll make do with the 3” and order the 3.5 when the stainless is released.

As for plate, I went with the C-plate, which hopefully will be a tad more efficient than my R89.

My son has read lots of good reviews for the Karve. He asked if he could borrow mine for a while.

Be careful Fred, otherwise, you'll never get back from your son and he'll be deadly hooked on the Karve.

Warning..... This is what you're son looks like when he behaves with your Karve

My Precious KARVE!!

What a good son. How could you say no?

Loaned my Rockwell 6C, never came back. Loaned my first Gillette Slim, never came back.
No doubt he likes the good stuff like his old man.
