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 gratificationHere's what I can share. In late May, I contacted Chris directly to ask for whether they actually had razors in stock like the website said. He said the parts were in stock but that he was behind on hand finishing. I asked how long it would take to ship and he said 2 weeks. I placed the order for the Steel version with B plate and received it roughly 8 weeks later. So Chris still takes longer than he promises.
All that said, the steel razor I received from them is a marvel. It is part of a 3 razor rotation and it is the equal of the other two razors (Tatara Masamune and WR 95SB). It shaves like a dream, and I can honestly say it is one of the finest razors I have ever used. Smooth like butter, but still plenty efficient. Zero irritation ever and I can use any soap I like because it is so smooth and precise. Totally worth a 2-month wait IMO. I just wish Chris had said 2 months instead of 2 weeks.
