Tornado hits Penzance !

[Cornishman]

HI All!
My UFO Tornado handle arrived in the post about an hour ago.
Just managed to take a couple of photos with my EJ89 head attached.
I've got a Gillette "New" long tooth head away at the moment being rhodium plated, so I'm hoping to match it up with that.
I'm going to email Juan and Rafael from UFO handles in Spain, to thank them. They seem a great couple of guys.
Wonderful craftsmanship!

Sweet handle, love the way the pattern groove goes all the way down the handle, right to the end.

That is a fantastic looking handle!

 

[MikaShika]

wow what a hefty razor!

 

[Harry Snider]

Are they plated brass? Stunning!

Nice handle, my Kaiser short is the perfect size for me, not quite as thick as that one.

Are they plated brass? Stunning!

They are actually stainless steel polished to a shine. Very nice handle!

My friend. Looks awesome. Please remember, as a Patek Philippe watch, this handle is not entirely yours. Yours is the privilege of enjoying it, and the obligation to guard it and preserve it for the next generation. Ha ha, I know, I know, I'm a little devil, I know.

Custom products like these are what makes DE shaving and three piece razors in particular so exiting. Enjoy.

That's nice. I've been wanting to get my New Deluxe replated with a new handle...... Hhmmmmmm

Finally, the UFO pictures that have pushed me into ordering one myself, it was only a matter of time.

They're just irresistible!
Here's mine again with my Rhodium plated English "New" head that arrived the day after my new handle:
It shaves like a dream!

Wow, just stunning. I have a UFO Kaiser regular length and a UFO Kaiser short length, but in standard polished stainless steel and they truly are works of art. I especially enjoy the Kaiser short, it seems to be just the right length for me. I've often considered the Tornado model as my next handle purchase from them. Thanks for posting pictures.

Funnily enough it's a newly replated New head that mine's going on. I've asked for a Tornado in a custom size, so it's between the length of the Tornado and the XL and slightly slimmer. Only 6 - 8 weeks to go...

outstanding gents.

Very nice indeed Sir...
