I just got the EJ Kelvin off Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6Z24SK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00) and LOVE the cross-hatch handle. In fact, I got this instead of a Merkur 34C because of the reputation of the EJ razor heads and the handle which I thought would give me the improved shave over the Merkur 33C I currently have and the balance more similar to the 34C. I think I hit a home run with this razor. Awesome balance, finish and shave.
