NEW Fat Handle Review (Sabbatical people stay OUT)

[taco8slo]

I just received my NEW Fat Handle purchased from here (another jgriest03 razor handle). I have to admit that this thing looks fantastic, I really like the simplicity of the GS1 and the classiness of the NEW Fat Handle. This handle is short and hefty, the webpage says it is 111 grams and 3 inches long (76mm). I used it already on my short comb new and it looks and performs wonderfully, definitely hefty and fat but this in no way hinders the shave IMO. The knurling is similar to the GS1 for those that have one of those, which is also similar knurling as a Weber Bulldog handle has. Sometimes I prefer heavy handles and other times I prefer lighter ones, it is nice to have a variety. You can tell by the pictures that this NEW Fat handle was modeled after the bar version of the New Gillette Open Comb handle. Here are some pictures, for your viewing pleasure (it is the fat brass one). Great price as well!

Thanks, I've got Razor Handle Acquisition Disorder pretty bad at the moment...I have 3 UFO handles being made (Titan, Tornado, and Kaiser Short). I am a weak man (but using this handle should make me much stronger, haha).

That GS1 looks neato. Good to see the same knurling on another handle.

It is similar to these UFO handles: Tornado, Goliath, Godzilla...So far it is the thickest I have besides the Stahly live blade.

The UFO Zeus is a different story altogether, that thing is a beast, too much for me I think.

^^^^
Nice collection of handles.
I suspect that the BRWs are collectors items...

Thanks, I vaguely recognized the BRW handles but I couldn't place where they were from. He was a true craftsman. You've got some really nice ones there and when you get your UFO's you'll have a supremely great collection.

Second shave with the Kaiser Short tonight and an EJ head. Very nice. I don't know if I'll be able to use another handle for a while. I may just stick with the Kaiser Short and try out all the different heads I have that will fit. They are truely works of art.

Good to hear, I'm going to need to get more razor heads for all these handles, lol.
