It’s really poor service to be fair. Kind of service I wouldn’t usually purchase from. I don’t mind delays, as long as made aware. Lack of contact is poor.

Yeah, it kind of sucks. I waited almost 7 weeks for my set to arrive but, I got lucky in between there and picked up a set on the b/s/t to hold me over. Still, there should be some sort of communication from the vendor or some sort of posting on their website on current production runs or delays... It would definitely help out.
They have done that, but it’s out of date. Orders 2000 to 2049 we’re supposed to be shipped 22/08. Now I would have no issue if he just updated the website, at least I’d know. I respect that he’s making these and that it’s popular, but to not communicate it is poor. Any hint else I would just cancel the order, but I genuinely want to try this razor out!

Good on you
(for receiving, obviously, not the customs charge...)And you were 1904? That means he is seriously behind the progress schedule on his website. Oh well.

Update on the website:
FULFILLMENT SCHEDULE FOR RAZORS
Manufacturing of the razor parts remains continuous. My inventory of machined parts now covers all of the orders in the queue, with a healthy overrun.
However, I am still working through bead blasting, final inspection, and packaging, so it will still take little bit to catch up completely.
As before, I will continue to process the orders sequentially, from oldest to newest.
I have some extra help in the shop and we're making a big push to get all caught up.
The expected fulfillment schedule is as follows:

First use of the Karve today and I was very impressed. I have the D plate on a 3” handle and it felt nicely balanced for me. The angle of the shave was entirely intuitive and I didn’t have to think about the way I held the razor at any point. It’s very smooth. It actually felt pretty mild but it’s certainly efficient. The weight of the razor did all the work. I was DFS + in 2 very comfortable passes. I may add the E plate in future although that would just be an indulgence really. So, I’m delighted with the Karve. As a bonus, I actually like the smell of brass.
Quick question for those of you who have both, how does the Karve on D compare to the Blackbird in terms of aggressiveness/efficiency? Cheers guys.

The Karve on D (and I might include the C-plate) does not compare at all with the Blackbird in aggressiveness. However the efficiency is at least its equal in my book.
That’s what makes the Karve so special.
I love the Timeless, Wolfman and others but the Karve is such a smooth and efficient razor it’s hard not to pick up in the morning. It also eliminates the need for guys to chase expensive Wolfmans or other high priced razors imo if they are just after great performance and not art.

Thanks for that. Early days I know, but for a first shave, I was very impressed. I suppose it is an art thing as much as anything. I get great shaves from all my razors. But I would like to add a high end, or higher end, razor to my collection. So I have been looking at the Blackbird and the Pils. I know, very different razors.

Ah...I see. That makes sense. Thank you.
