New player in the DE world. Karve Shaving Company.

Just saw a post on another forum from someone who was on the list, and just got their invoice and paid for their Al Karve.
So it looks like they are beginning to be shipped out...

I've had an email from Chris asking for my address for the invoice, so mine should be on its way shortly.

Let me know if you want to pass it on in the future

After waiting nearly a year for it you’ll be lucky.

Yes, Copper Kit. And still available...

Yes, just saw that as well...
Shame it’s only available as the “daily shavers kit”, and not individual razors.
I wonder if it’s just a one-off April Fool’s thing, like he did with the plastic razor a couple of years ago, or whether he’s going to include copper as part of the regular offerings...

Chris does state on the website that it's not an April Fool.

^^^^^^^ What he said...

Yes, it’s real. I meant he did a similar thing with the plastic razor on April 1st a couple of years ago (made up to look like an April Fool’s, but it was a real thing...), and that was just a one-off issue.

I'm out of the copper set. Plate D is the minimum I need, B and C would be redundant.

That’s why I was disappointed he doesn’t have individual razors/ plates, and more handle length options.

Just ordered it!!

Thankfully, I have zero interest in this what so ever. Money saved!

I’ve had a shipping confirmation.

It's here! (Image is a thumbnail)



The fit and finish is excellent, this is my first Karve and the first impressions are really good! I like that the packaging is paper and card and the handwritten note from Chris was a really nice touch. I'm due a new blade today and missed shaving yesterday so I have two days' beard to go at and I'm looking forward to trying it out later on. If this thing shaves as good as it looks I can see me getting a stainless one too.

Edit - that's not a scratch on the cap, it's a hair. Bloody cat's moulting everywhere!
