Can I get your opinion on a handle design?

[Eskimo]

I was making some minor modifications on my standard handle design and found that the result worked both ways.

Do you like the wider portion of the handle at the:


1) Head
2) Tail


Thanks, Bob

Head. Beautiful handle

Head. Does the placement of the wider end give a material difference in weight to the handle? If the wider end is at the bottom does the razor feel "bottom heavy"?

 

[shave/brush]

I would prefer #1, at the head.

 

[mortician]

I'll be the odd one out, I like it at the bottom. I think the razor as a whole flows well with the wider end at the bottom, but that's just me!

I'm leaning to tail, but would really have to heft them both to see how the balance eorks.

 

[SocalRick]

This may be a cop out, but I think they both look great!

 

[prodigal_de_son]

I would go with tail on this one. I like the "teardrop" effect.

Seems like a more natural grip at the tail.

Making it narrower in the middle may help the grip in a slippery moment.

As much as I love head, I'm gonna have to vote tail on this. Sir Mix-A-Lot said it best, Baby Got Back!
I agree with the above about the heft of balance and ergonomics of the tail end. Now I think I'm just over analyzing.

Seems like a more natural grip at the tail.
