So, I found out the copper hammered handle I got and used yesterday is not the normal Charcoal Goods hammered handle but the magnum. It weighs 104g where the normal hammered handle weighs I think it was 57g. My gen 3 maze handle is 51g.
I'm really happy with the gen 3 everyday setup I got. It seems to be in my goldilocks zone. I really like 3.5" handle length which it is. And I like the razor to be balanced towards the head which it is with a lighter handle.
As for this gen2 copper level2 set with the magnum handle it would fit someone else perfectly too I imagine. It's a beautiful set. The level 2 feels great on my face. I still didn't like it as much on my neck even with the lighter handle.
I didn't cause any new irritation or weepers today. Overall it was a good shave. Next, I think I will try the heavy magnum handle out with the Everyday head.
