Well where do I start?
About 10 minutes ago I heard a thud as the postie dropped a small but heavy package through my letterbox. I opened it without hesitation and there before my eyes was a vision of beauty in metal, a Goliath of a razor handle, made bespoke for me my Daz from TSR.
It all started with his post about making his own handle, a few PM's later and I sent him 3 designs I had drawn based on the priest he made and was shown in his post. He chose to make me number 1 with a few tweeks, the largest and most complicated design.
I can tell you I'm not dissapointed at all, the handle is awsome, very nicely weighted at 75g, two tone aluminium and brass, the shape fits my hand perfectly and the ridges provide the perfect amount of grip. The length is exactly right for me.
I am willing my stubble to grow so I can go and try this beauty out, I will be using it over the next week, coupled with my EJ89 head first and I'll let you know how it works out in a review.
I have taken some pictures for your viewing pleasure, forgive my hand it hasn't done much modeling and has a bit of a diva to work with!
Pic 1 is the EJ89, the 'Goliath' and a Merkur to compare size, the Merkur is still the heaviest, the others are with the EJ head attached.[attachment=5254][attachment=5255][attachment=5256][attachment=5257]
A big thank you to Daz, I know how much work went into this razor and lets hope he continues to make more (I've already asked for a stubby version)!
