First day with my new Barbaros and a new Rubie blade. This is a cracking razor.
Normally, I shave daily, but skipped a day. The Barbaros had that growth off in two passes. I used the supplied handle, though I prefer one a little longer, but it's easy enough to use, and the angle comes quite naturally. It did feel as if I was getting a darn good scraping, but the alum test was sting-free.
First-class.

Day 2 with Barbaros, my new silvertip Cadman brush, and P&B Sanskrit. This is, as they say, a winning combination, and I really like this razor.

Hello Gentlemen, I have a couple of blemished razors for sale with discounted price. I haven't put it on the website yet, I will when i have time. But if you are interested, drop me a PM, i can provide more images if you need.
3 full razors with 13mm handle, the difference is that it doesn't have the logo at the bottom (had them made custom for a couple of friends and they changed their minds and got the 14mm one.)
1 head
There are small scratches/dents on the parts which don't effect the functionality.
Shipping will be 12.50, if you intend to buy bulk, i can recalculate for a reasonable cost.
13mm handled razors (they come in box) --> $135
Head doesn't have box included. --> $75
Head

Another 3-day stint with my TR-1 and a Nacet blade.
This is a very good razor!
I tend to prefer longer handles, but, having tried a long UFO for a day and switched back to the Barbaros handle, I've decided that I rather like the one Hasan has produced (plus, the whole kit looks the business when in its box).

No joy from me, I'm afraid. Generations of new razors have somehow arrived with me, but the Barbaros comes out of its square tin box and gives me a shave as good as when I liked about 6 or 7 years ago in this thread.
It's a superbly-made and designed razor, and a credit to its Turkish origin. Beyond that, what can one say? A leading edge, stainless razor, that shaves well and will outlast many others.
