I agree ! when I first ordered his razor a few months ago, the shipment was delayed and he sent a personal apology saying he had to redo the B plates as he wasn't satisfied with those in stock and those took time. Such meticulous eye to detail is rare and needs to be supported and kept in business for such great quality products.

I hope quoting his email text below is not out of line ...


"I apologize for the delay...I discovered a quality issue on the B guards and I had to make new ones.  Everything is good now and your razor will be at the post office this afternoon."

I recently received a Rockwell with numerous bubbles compromising the top cap. Sloppy to say the least. The Rockwell is no longer in the den as the Karve is easily a superior shaver in my use.

I have a question about the 3 in handle for anyone who has it. The Karve website provides the specs of the 3 in handle as 95g x 83mm long. 3 inches converts to 76mm and 83mm converts to 3.26 inches. My question is: is the handle 3 or 3.35 inches long?

Does anyone have a stand for Karve made of the same material and also matt look?

I normally shave with a Fatip Gentile or Fatip Grande. I am considering the Karve with a D plate. Would that be comparable in efficiency and smoothness to the Fatip Gentile?

I find the Karve D plate a bit more aggressive/efficient than the Fatip Gentile. Actually, it is closer to the regular Fatip in aggression/efficiency, but smoother of a shaver, for me, at least.

For those of you in the US, how long did it take to arrive once you received the shipping notification?

Ok, I'm also a Gentile & Grande guy. The look of this razor automatically makes me think of a 21st century Fatip, with good tolerances.

Would the C be closer to the Gentile then?

Also if anyone knows, what is shipping time to the US. We're visiting next month, so if I can be certain it will arrive, I think this is my next razor.

7 days. It gets from Edmonton to LA fairly quickly but may sit in LAX for a few days. I ordered the E&F 8 days ago and still no shipping notification. He’s working all hours to get items out. He’s a one man (part time) shop so patience is key!

Thanks for the help. I finally "Karved" errrr caved this morning and ordered the 3.5" handle and C+D plates. Sounds like this is a no-brainer and worst case scenario is that I can sell the razor if I have to...
