Alpha Shaving has been on record in creating a razor handle that could offer an adjustable weight bias element to those that wanted to fine tune or customize their balance point for a said razor. Personally, I wasn't sure if this was a necessity for the shave world and I would find no direct performance benefit other than redistributing weight bias along the handle to get a better feel for the razor as a whole. However, Alpha Shaving did produce a handle that is made entirely of Carbon Graphite & Titanium end caps that are weighted in different increments to give a choice for those looking for either a lighter or heavier razor handle to pair with their razor head. Per my understanding these are not adjustable and are offered in increments of weight as I stated earlier. I'll be quite honest, I do love the look of the Carbon & Ti razor handle offering. I can't say if the handles are smooth along the barrel or there are serrations in it to give it texture in providing tactile grip. These are actual production versions and not prototypes or mock ups. These are the real McCoy.
The adjustable handle concept might be a bit much for my tastes but, I won't kill Alpha for thinking outside of the box and trying. On looks though I think its a gorgeous creation.
