Blackbird vs Barbaros vs Seygus

problem i would have with getting it polished locally is all the deep nicks in it. those do not polish out very well if at all when they are deep like that. and if you remove to much of the metal from the top cap or the top of the baseplate then you will throw off the way it shaves.

That would also be my problem. I have deep nicks on the bar edges.

Among these three I just have a Barbaros and I will get to try Seygus in a month hopefully. I personally like the shave of Barbaros a lot. You can easily make it a daily shaver by using a not so aggressive razor but if you use it with an aggressive razor it will remove your 4 days old beard with ease as well. Blade sits nicely. There is no micro chattering. It is a mild-aggressive razor. If you have a heavy beard like me you will most possibly like it.
I read pages of cosmetic complaints and I need to say that my razor is not very shiny as well. I might send it back to him for re-polishing some day but so far I am just enjoying the good shave Barbaros gives. I know Hasan learnt a lot from this first run and he will not have similar problems in the future if he chooses to continue production. Because I know that he was barely reaching the break-even point even before he started accepting returns and everything.I hope somehow he can continue production.

guys barbaros is working on it now. i have pics of his polish work on replacements and i have to say its beautiful!!! i will wait till i know i can post those pics. but i can assure you if you know me you know how ocd i am and at least from the pics it looks fantastic. polished everywhere even the bars and bottom of the baseplate. it does remove some of the logo on the bottom though. but if you do want a high polished one i would wait. he will be shipping out replacements soon.

here is one of the pics as an example:

Yes, but polishing doesn't remove dents. Polishing would have been easy to deal with, but when you have dents, those cant be polished.

At least he is working on it. I opted for a partial refund, just didn't want to deal with it any longer. Now, I just have to wait and see when I get the refund, lol.....

Did you return the razor or just a partial refund?

I opted for a partial refund. Is not much, but I didn't want to really deal with it anymore.

Ah I see. I hope it all works out

he said he will only be sending out ones that look very good. i have some super close up pics and they do look awesome. i will wait and let you guys know how it looks when i get it. but from the pics at least it looks almost as nice as even a wolfman polish job (might be different in person though)

Ah I see. I hope it all works out

Thanks my friend. I have so many razors to choose from, I don't lose any sleep over it.

Good luck with it, I hope it works out for you my friend.

A Wolfman?  Not even close, lol......That's like saying a Vespa is as fast as a Harley, lol.....
