Was going to put in an order for a Brass Overlander ASAP, but I’m also moving across the country at the end of this year. Is the wise move to wait until I’m I my new place or is 4 weeks the standard for Made to Order from Karve?

Wait
The wise move would be to buy that Blackbird that's on sale right now and you'll have it by the end of next week and be able to shave with it until you move!!
Did I miss an earlier post of yours (@cruise)? A Blackbird and Overlander are considerably different tools.The wise move would be to buy that Blackbird that's on sale right now and you'll have it by the end of next week and be able to shave with it until you move!!

I don’t think you did. And thanks for the rec, but I’ve already got a polished Brassbird in the den.
Taking the advice and waiting to order closer to my move date. Thanks, and can’t wait to see what all of the Overlander fuss is about.
I know its difficult to find sarcasm in something that one posts but I thought the emoji I used,

CB Karve B SB. This is such a nice razor.
Copper OC G. Fantastic results with two passes. I found myself rolling towards the cap at times to keep things comfortable and safe with this beast of a gap, but no issues. Lovely razor.
Remarkable pic.
I don’t know why Christopher Bradley-Chris Kirchen as the owner of CB has such a spotty history with customer service and overall handling of his business. He has received much criticism and deservedly so on how it is being run as if almost without a care. But, I will say on a personal experience, CB has dealt with me in a professional and very courteous manner and I have no complaints with his products and dealings. And the other thing is that there is no question or doubt in my mind that this man creates a world class shaving tool that rivals some of the best in overall performance, quality & craftsmanship. They might not look like jewels once they are done and presented to consumers but, one will cherish it as if it were arguably based on the brilliance of the razors performance alone. The Copper & Brass patina beautifully to make them unique and no one razor will be alike during that process. Don’t like the patina? Fine, a good polishing compound and a clean terry cloth will get it nice and shiny all over again.
Not trying to be argumentative in the least but, I really don’t care what others say about this razor, it simply is a superb creation and is as elite as elite gets in the artisan razor maker wars. The only negative I can say personally is, he’s had issues with a Titanium version. If he can square that up, well we just might be talking about a razor that’s on another level.
Just a thought. Great shaves to all….

If Karve offered the "clear" aluminum when I got my Bison, I would have gotten it. It looks really good.
