Vintage Merkur Slant - Replacement Handle REDUX Round IV - Smooth Dark Wood [PICS]

[AceByTerror]

I REALLY like this one. Again, the white handle is less than ideal, but this looks and feels great in the hand.

Definitely much better just turned basic - no detailing or texturing. Probably could get away with a couple tiny grooves, but as it is I'm happy with this one.

So, with that I may stop for a while. I would like to try another wood handle but using a very bright wood - maybe silver birch. Also basic turned. We'll see

Thanks all for the feedback!

My favorite one yet. The rustic appeal of the wood gives the razor overall character.

Now you're getting somewhere, Rob! That looks great. I definitely prefer that to having any kind of curves or grooves in the handle. Very nice. The tip doesn't fit (but does look better), but you know that . You were going to try to do some sort of cap to put over the tip, right?


Edit: I don't know...maybe the tip will grow on me...

So when are we going to be able to start buying these custom-handle slants? I see and I want.

Suh-weeet. Nicer looking than the original. Well done.

Go with a little bulbous action. Fatter in the middle and tapered to the ends.

Looking NICE!!

Keep the knob white for sure!

Yeah, I still want one. Love my slants, and what could another hurt.
