Basically true for me. I ordered another this summer - my third- the site said in stock. After the order I received an email saying they were behind several weeks. So i waited. I emailed to ask and got a shipping notice. The tracking sat with item not picked up by carrier almost two weeks until i emailed again. It arrived yesterday. i suppose i was warned in the initial email. Buy i do like more instant gratification
I agree. Not complaining really just the way it is. Good communication is hard to find. Getting a tracking notification sets up expectations but then when tracking for about 2 weeks said item not pickedup yet indicated they just created a label nothing was shipping. So maybe it is made to order. I like the design and quality thats why i have 3 karve now but its annoying. Truth be told i went thru this with karve already with the polished ss that the web site suggested was in stock. So i guess i knew what to expect but hit buy anyway. Self created angst i guess is why i wont buy a wolf even though i did that form what feels like years ago.
Are you on titanium waiting list? I wonder if they had to pay up front?
That’s not a change in their MO. That‘s a return to their previous MO, as that‘s exactly what they did with their SS razors. Waitlist that seemed to take forever, and you paid when your number came up. The problem arose when they stated shipping SS razors to other retailers before clearing their own waitlist....thus allowing other buyers to immediately get a SS Karve razor ahead of many folks still waiting on the Karve waitlist.
Nope. I was disappointed about not getting in on the aluminum that lead to my purchase of the ss.
I’m still curious about why you won’t post a picture of your polished SS Karve? There are many here who would appreciate being able to see how it turned out.
i usually dont post pics is my basic excuse. Plus im lazy and ive been basically away and its not with me. Enough excuses?
That's fascinating. Do you think you'll ever use it!? I remember reading a comment long ago by a Wolfman user who had invested in the high polish option and was intimidated to use the razor, which helped me to resolve to buy the regular finish. It must be a gorgeous piece!
Just received my SS CB, ordered with 3.25" handle.. As you can see in the pic it measures out exactly at 3.25"..Need to ask this one here. I e-mailed Karve and have not heard back. I would like to know specifically if I''m interpreting the specs accurately, as found on the website linked below. Are:
1. The handles alone precisely measured end-to-end as 3.0, 3.25, 3.5 and 4.0 inches respectively?
2. I ask the above because the remaining specs for length are in millimeters and do not match the handle lengths, off by roughly an additional 0.25 inches and not insignificant. I can only surmise this is for the entire length of the razor and head fully assembled. I'm assuming this based on the heavy weights, which are probably for the whole assembly.
Any help would be much appreciated!
