My Bison finally arrived today! I was surprised shipping was 10 days from Canada, I thought it got lost.

Got my Overlander a few weeks ago on BST, new in box, great price, super-fast delivery. BONUS: frequent, clear, and timely communication from the seller. Stellar experience.I've bought at least 10-20 different Karve razors or parts from the BST in the last couple of years. There's 2 for sale within the last week alone. Funny you say they are hard to find on here for sale and I see them literally all the time.
In fairness, beating a dead horse is de rigueur here.Can we consider this dead horse to be beaten well enough yet?
If you've read this or other threads here, you know what to expect if you choose to order. Also keep in mind that if Karve hires more people, then the prices will likely go up too.

With that in mind, folks have as much right to comment about shoddy and unsatisfactory customer service as folks have to rave about a superb razor.
And that's ok. If his customer base sustains his business model, that's all he has to worry about!Your right about breathing dead pony, I reported back in February talking to Kaves Owner at AZ Wet Shave Meetup.
First thing I said to Chris was he was not good at replying to email.
Answer was he said he was not, building, shipping, and being final QC was what filled his day.
Unlike lowing skunk politician, man was honest. He is 2.5 person operation.
With no one beating down door for job.
So that is that, email is back burner priority.
And that's ok. If his customer base sustains his business model, that's all he has to worry about!

Beaten, pulverized, buried, exhumed, and ground up for ingredients at a fast food joint ;-)In fairness, beating a dead horse is de rigueur here.

Patronize him or not ... it's your choice, but you have no right to make business decisions for him.
I think many deal with Karve’s current process just fine.I think many can deal with less communication if the website or process has a cadence that seems repeatable.

I was lucky enough to get one from a friend so no wait, no communication with Chris. The Bison (for me) shaves so similar to the Overlander I’m not sure I can tell much of a difference. It is definitely the most mild razor I have now.
Did you expect it to be significantly different from an Overlander? It's been documented here as being too close to call.I have to come clean. After 3 shaves I find the Bison no more efficient than the Overlander. For me the razor doesn’t work unfortunately.
