They also made aluminum pre-orders available when the titanium pre-orders went live. No word on the aluminum, and that's not hard to machine. Why not start with the easy ones first? At least it would look like they're making progress.

They mentioned the Al razors in that Instagram live session.
He said he had “almost 90% of the Al parts manufactured”, but he’s decided to move the anodising in house, instead of using an external company as before. So that means purchasing the equipment, running some test batches, and then anodising all the parts for all the razors, so that will also take some extra time.
Again, unfortunately I think it comes down to (not...) setting the right expectations at the beginning, and (not..) communicating clearly....

A positive comment for the mix. My order for a brass handle with 5 baseplates has just gone out the door at Karve after 1 month. This is despite my having added 3 baseplates to the order during this time. This is in line with the delivery information on the website.

Good things come to those who wait. Plus, no payment, no problem.

On advise from another, I sent an email to Karve inquiring about any left over Gladius handles. Chris responded within a couple of days, and he did have one in my preferred length!! This week, it should be arriving! The brass version has become The One for me. I have dabbled with others, but all have moved on. Only my Slim and pre-War Tech remain. And I don't miss any of them, but am glad someone else can enjoy them instead of the razors collecting dust in a drawer.

Sort of side-tracked myself there for a bit! The point was a quality product even after getting one in the Spring of 2018 it is still the one, and while waiting can be trying, I have always had good communication with Chris.
