Also - I wouldn’t blame a soul for being a bit hesitant on buying a razor from Phil after the 17-4 debacle...

Didn't Barbaros merge with Rocnel both out of Turkey?

In fairness, he couldn't help that and made good on it IMMEDIATELY

I remember Barbaros, but to not even specify the metal, weight, specs, etc. or to explain the backstory on the sales page is really strange. I’m trying to look up that info and it’s not even on the Barbaros website as far I can tell. I guess enough people remember the specs for it to sell out so apparently it doesn’t matter.

Exactly my thoughts Shane.  
My main point was simply that we as hobbyists are being taken for granted.  Not by Shane, or Rod, or many other artisans...but this guy put up NOTHING, and Bullgoose just put it out there to sell in what?  90 seconds?
Shame on this Turkish Bozo and Shame on Phil.

I’m very much looking forward to seeing what’s coming from Blackland.  
Shane’s attention to detail is NASA-esque.  
But I’m not going to just buy anything from just a photo!
Maybe even more importantly, I’m sure Shane knows, and appreciates this.

They are separate companies, they only collaborated for their first adjustable razor.

Might want to do a Google search before you go nuts on something you don’t know anything about. It’s a known brand. The model has been out before.

Happy Easter!

It actually matters. I felt stupid, since I spent $250 for 17-4 which had only one photo of his final product.
Now he is doing again, not giving details about the razor nor photos.

Tongue in cheek. It certainly matters to me. But since it sold out, the extra effort wouldn’t have increased sales.
