Which Weber Handle

[nnnwarner]

I've been pretty much sold on a weber. The only DE that I have ever used is an old gillette flair. I'm not a big guy, on the medium to small side. I am disappointed the wave handle is gone, i really liked the way it looked. Any suggestions on which of the available two would be best for me?

I have one with the bulldog handle and it is the best razor I have ever used. It is the only one to do a really good job on my neck, pain free. Derby and Israeli blades foe me. I have never liked either blade in any razor before. Now I never use my other razors and my Feathers.

last I heard you could still get a wave but only if you bought the entire razor. You can't get the handle by itself. If you only need the handle PM me.

I've tried the Wave handle on two different trials. Yeah, it looks cool but the grip was poor for me. I have both the Bulldog and Classic. Both are really fine, but I prefer the Classic. I find the added length contributes to better balance.

I don't think you can go wrong with either.

I have both the classic long handle (from the first run of DLC webers) and a bulldog. I prefer the bulldog. Both the weight and the grip are more comfortable in my hand, which makes the shave more effortless.

I love both the classic and bulldog handles. I like the wave less, nice as it is. But if you were first attracted to the wave, I recommmend the bulldog.

I myself like the Bulldog. I think it's mainly because of the length (80 mm) is very close to the vintage Gillettes. With the Feather head and Ikon baseplates it balances perfectly in my hand.

I have the weber razor with bulldog handle. I personally prefer the bulldog handle.

I went over to Shave Mall to post a WTB Webber with bulldog or possible wave handle but it says that I am not allowed to start a new thread. Interesting.

Bulldog is my preferred handle.

I'm new to the Weber subculture but I am WAY impressed with the bulldog handle I just got. Pairs sweetly with a Tech head.

The Bulldog handle is great. I love both the Weber and Ikon versions. UFO handles are a little better looking IMO..... but they are all made of stainless steel with fine craftsmanship.

I have been eyeing the bulldog handle. As soon as I gather enough funds I will be purchasing one myself.

Our current classic handle is the heavier version with a weight around
2.4 ounces. We sold the lighter handle back in 2011 and early 2012.
The current handle is polished and machined from marine grade stainless.

The current Classic handle is the best SS handle I have used or own. I own both the 2011-2012 version and the current model. I also own a Cadet, Tradere and the Kronos handle. The Weber beats them all. Better grip, the polished finish looks very classy and the length is perfect. I have difficulty balancing the shorter handle.

Ed, don't change a thing on this version of the Classic handle. The first version was a bit thin and the knurling was a bit shallow, in my opinion, but its still a fine handle. This recent version is really, to me, the best stainless handle on the market today. The diameter, length, knurling, weight...everything works just perfectly together. Oh, and the razor head is a fantastic shaver to boot. The only safety bar razor that shaves as well as my Gillette New. I'm going to buy another Classic handle or two after the holidays, to use with my collection of New heads; and in case something happens to the design.

+1,000 What Jeff says. This is a terrific handle. And versatile. It works with Fatip, too.

I think I might be getting the bulldog for Christmas!

Jeff - you put me over the edge. Just pulled the trigger on a classic handle. My love for the ATT Kronos is strong and I've heard this is even better.
