Barbaros Razors

[Osman]

Just came across this on the internet. Seems a new manufacturer of a DE razor out of Turkey.

There's a few small-batch quality DE razors coming out of Europe at the moment. There's also the Seygus razor from Spain (which was posted a few weeks back). It's quite interesting the number of people giving it a real go.

Full stainless?

$196 AUD excluding shipping, jeesh. Isn't it safer to just get a vintage Gillette?

 

[Osman]

Full stainless?

According to the website yes it is full stainless.

 

[borked]

Wow, if that's the price, I would be hoping for full titanium!

Not yet, but it is high on the 'I have to have it' list.

Yes. Absolutely.

And at only $60 for a replate, you can have a good-as-new, rhodium on brass, razor that is every part as good as this, for well under $100.

Having said that, I love my AS-D2...
