Long Handle for R89

[GregS]

I love my R89, but would like to get the Grande handle for it. Is the handle available by itself?

Not in Europe ... but you can get aftermarket handles of course.

The best way to get a decently priced long handle is to purchase a $15 Sabi T-1 just for the handle

imo the t1 is a bit long for the 89. i use a oss handle with mine from ikon and love it with that head.

There's also someone in the UK who makes custom handles for the R89.

Then use the shorter T2 razor handle. Still the best bargain in a heavy handle out there

i like and have the t1 and t2 (i have the matador versions though not the sabi) but i would MUCH rather have a weber (any) handle for around 37 imo.

I have one as my "second" handle (along with the T1) in my "free range head" set. Why choose when you can have BOTH?

This is the way razors should be sold, IMO. Pick the head configuration(s) you want/need, and then choose the handle that best fits your hand and shaving style.
