Handles for the bigger man....

Dj_Star · Saturday October 11, 2014

Hey folks,

My Dad is looking at DE (yes it's my fault, lol). But he is a BIG man, has anyone any experiences with larger handles for larger hands?
I've got a de89l that I've suggested to him as a starter razor. But was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions?

Cheers

Dj

Hey mate, I've got a few long handles he can try, anything over 100mm is good. I'll sort you out some stuff on Monday.

Better make it tuesday. My balls are giving me hell....

Ah cool cheers mate.
I just noticed there's a few custom jobs around. Might treat him for Xmas! ;-)

You could try the EJ Chatsworth Barley razor same head longer heavier handle?

Get onto templ8 right here (he's called Iain if you prefer to talk to real people) and get him to mill a 100mm handle in 15mm thickness. Keep it simple.

Check out my epee handle for more inspiration!

I too prefer large handles, and mine from Iain should arrive this week. Splendid fellow to work with, and the example of his work that I have seen is top drawer.

The Edwin Jagger Georgian razor. I'm not sure of they are still made but The English Shaving Company may still have some in stock..

I have received my handle from Iain, and it is more than I expected. Exceptional craftsmanship, and very fast turnaround to the U.S. If you're looking for a bigger handle, I can't recommend his work enough.
