Fumbling about.
I'm looking at alternate handle options for my SS Blackland Blackbird.
The handle I have is the long handle. I'd prefer shorter, but the big deal for me is the handle is thinner in girth than I like.
On another forum where a lot of guys shave ATG, there's discussion of using regular (not fitted to the hole in the Blackbird baseplate) handles with the Blackbird, handles such as the Timeless Ti. They say such handles work well enough with the BBB; I could certainly try it (using one of many handles).
What I'm wondering is this: What about trying the other Blackland handles (like the Sabre handle) with the Blackbird?
Thanks and happy shaves,
Jim

- Will they fit the Blackbird handle (and go in the hole)?
- How fat are the other Blackland handles (if you have one would you post the mm size)? They look fatter, but I don't know for sure.
- Advice?
- Opinions?
Thanks and happy shaves,
