Lovely

That one's titanium? Made by?

Thanks and happy shaves,

Jim

Thank you Jim - Yep Titanium - 3 inches/76 mm long, 43 g. Made by James DuFour, he reversed the barber pole swirls for me on the WRH2 pattern handle.

What an amazing handle. I'd love to have one similar to yours, maybe 80 or 85 mm, in titanium, maybe even hollow.

Thanks for answering my questions.

Happy shaves,

Jim

My preference is to have a ‘balanced’ razor.

Aluminum head and handle, SS head and handle, etc. with the ‘balance point’ in a comfortable, mid-way position. So, I would most likely use a Ti handle with an appropriate Ti head. If the weight distribution was right, then I may mix and match various materials. Just my opinion for what is worth.

To save weight, consider a wood handle with a steel core. The wood is tough and it is sealed. The balance of this razor is very good.

I enjoy my Ti handles a great deal. I use them with my Timeless Ti as well as my Wolfman SS heads. I prefer the lighter weight of the Ti handle to the heavy SS handles some modern razors use. I also like most of my handles to be 13mm or smaller in diameter. To get the balance right when using a SS head, try different length handles until you find the one that feels right to you.

I grew to dislike using heavier razors. My favorite DEs are the Lupo 72 and 95 with Tibam titanium handle.

My solid diamond handle is way better and costs much, much more

I have that handle too. It’s also awesome with any of the game changers.
