Fellas. If I am looking for the base or polished Karve Stainless Steel, is any of this in stock, or is it a multi-month wait?
Why are you asking this shaving forum. Why not go to the Karve website to find out? It’s karveshaving.comFellas. If I am looking for the base or polished Karve Stainless Steel, is any of this in stock, or is it a multi-month wait?
Karves have standard threading so you should have no issues as long as you keep that in mind.Just have a "dumb" question and would like to hear your opinion.
So I'm thinking about buying a Karve brass razor with either a c or d plate, maybe both. Now I'm actually considering just the cap and base plates, not the handle.
I was wondering if I can use a SS handle with the Karve since I have a few at home.
What's your advise? Thanks
Since Karve is Canadian they don't use exactly the same threading as Maggard, Parker, Muhle, and vintage Gillette.
It might fit, but I don't think will be exact.
I think Fatip and Rockwell are exact same as Karve.

The other way around. Karve handle can be used on a Fatip with a nylon spacer, but the Fatip handle won't fit the Karve. Fatip threading is another thing altogether.Could have sworn I tried a Fatip handle on a Karve.
Sorry. I must be mistaken.

My Karve handle would not fit my Fatip Grande head. It would catch the first few threads and stop. Large gap between where it stops and the underside of the plate.The other way around.

Yep MMMV. No prob here. Very smooth [emoji106]Had time to grab some quick pics before we left:

This is as far as the Karve handle screws onto the Fatip head. Kind of tough to see but there are threads visible between the handle and the underside of the plate.

This shot demonstrates the size of the gap. I suppose you could put a tall spacer in there to take up that gap but, in my opinion, it's not something that I would do with my razors.

Just my opinion and YMMV.
