I have been very happy with my Edwin Jagger DE89L, and I now rarely use anything else. My only, small gripe is that the handle can get slippery in my big and perhaps not so agile hands. I have dropped it once. Today I tried using it with the handle from my Feather AS. I think that the handle may be a bit too heavy for the razor, but it certainly provides great grip - and I got a great shave. To tell the truth, I would just go with this combination except for one small problem (which I should just ignore): I don't like the way the matte finish handle looks with the polished chrome head.
So what's the best handle for this razor? I've heard a lot about the Weber bulldog, but is that a chrome or stainless finish? Also, is it as heavy as the Feather AS handle? Any good, grippy, chromed handles for the DE89? Does anyone know if the Parker handles will fit and if they are any good? The Parker razors cost less than most replacement handles.
