Status Tags Explained

Karve Shaving Co. is a small business. Every razor is manufactured entirely in-house, by me, on my own equipment.

Some items are fully finished before they are listed, while others are only partially finished at the time of listing. Status tags will indicate the lead time for each item.

Due to the large number of options offered, not all items are available at all times. Although shown below, I do not currently offer any items through a made to order program.

There will be a lead time between when you place your order and when it ships. This lead time allows me to maintain an efficient workflow.

Check here for my current order fulfillment lead times.

Once your order is ready, it will ship promptly. I do not hold finished orders (unless specifically requested). My goal is to get your razor out the door as soon as possible.

Each item is categorized as follows:

  READY  

These items are completely finished and are ready to ship. Examples include our brushes or items that are manufactured by other vendors, such as shave soap.

When one of these items becomes sold out, you won’t be able to purchase it until we add more to that same listing.

  NEARLY READY  

These items are almost finished, but still require the final steps to be performed to be ready to ship. This usually includes deburring, bead blasting, passivation, and/or anodizing.

When one of these items becomes sold out, you won’t be able to purchase it until we add more to that same listing.

  MADE TO ORDER  

These items will be added to our manufacturing queue when you place your order. Shipping will commence once all of the items in your order are ready.

Please note, you will be billed at the time of purchase.  This is effectively a pre-order system, so if you don’t want to take part in a pre-order, please do not purchase these items.

  PAUSED  

These are items that we regularly manufacture, but have experienced a disruption. The two reasons for us to use this tag are that either our queue is too full OR we don’t have the raw materials to make more of a particular item.

Please note, if you placed an order for an item that becomes tagged with PAUSED, your item is not affected and will still be manufactured.  In the unlikely event that we are unable to make your item, we will refund your item.

If you have any questions or concerns about this system, please do not hesitate to contact us.
