I ordered a Karve and after not receiving it for six weeks, including two promises of "it will go out this week" from Chris, the owner, I asked for a refund, which a promptly received.

Both have stores in Vancouver: https://www.loccitane.com/en-ca/ And https://www.kiehls.ca/en/stores

I have the Star Craft and Solar Flare. Both great brushes.

The EJ 3ONE6 will be selling for $116 or somewhere in that neighborhood, which is about in the middle of the price range for stainless steel razors. The event was a lot of fun and was my 4th Big Shave event.

I have it and it's a great face latherer. Soft tips, plenty of backbone, great looking, too.

I picked up a Returned M1 plate for $21, thanks to this great sale.
