Karve Shaving Co. A new DE Brass razor to market.

"The best"support! Period. Forever waiting =)

Wow - July 3rd. That is a long time. Sorry to see that and hopefully gets resolved. Was it shipped air or surface (boat)?

A few years ago I sold an Escher hone to a guy in Russia. Took just over a month to get to him. I bought a BBS-1 from a guy in Russia, took a couple of weeks to get to me. 

I'm no expert, but I'd suspect that something shipped on July 3rd is lost if it hasn't shown up by now.

Just finished a ( hollowed brass ) shaving brush handle ,to match with my Karve razors .

Ordered on 10/3/19, received on 10/15/19, Canada to the USA. Not bad considering the customs and what not. Very happy with the G SB plate, and the F OC plate. I had an extra handle, so ordered a top cap, nature abhors a vacuum, so I'm set with plates E SB, F SB & OC, and G SB. 

If you'd like to know what it is like to shave with a Wolfman WR2 1.55 gap get the G SB, or F OC plates. Very similar in efficiency. I hooked up both razors with a brand new Wizamet in each, and shaved the left side of my face with the OC, and right side with the SB. 

Did my usual WTG/ATG two passes. Smooth as silk. BBS achieved with both razor configurations. I was gambling in getting these two plates, but the gamble paid off. A great addition to my shaving arsenal.

Any further thoughts on the G SB? You have my curiosity now.

Jimmy, how does the G plate compare with the 1.55 wr2 in smoothness? I can't imagine them being even remotely close since I remember the D plate not being very smooth.

Well, I've only shaved with the G SB plate, and F OC plate once. Karve says that the OC is equivalent to the next step up in an SB, so essentially I was shaving with 2 G plates. No, not as smooth as a 1.55 WR2, but the end result was as good in terms of BBS, and I felt no irritation during, nor after the shave.  

I'm a long time and seasoned wet shaver. Karve's website says of the plates, " Higher level plates are definitely OK for beginners - safety razors require control of contact pressure and cutting angle to function properly and the higher level plates are more sensitive to good form." I flatter myself that I have 'good form'. 

I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but aside from the razor, the blade, the end user's technique also enter into the equation. I found the G & F plates plenty good, and if I had it to do over again I wouldn't hesitate to buy them. The Karve is a damn good DE. I rate it at the top of my rotation. YMMV. 

That's my experience with Karve. Still nothing. Never even thought of such kind of service.

This is a terrible attitude to customers. I was lucky and I bought a Karve from Maggardrazors yesterday.
