Katana Handle

[Manstein]

Thanks for the info on the Lord as I looked at one I have and thought it might fit the bill. I've found what I think is a Windrose razor in the vaults and I'll give its handle a try.

Any recommendations as regards a long handle for a Katana. I find the supplied ones a bit short. Not bothered about weight. Thanks.

Are you talking about the short ABS handle or the long gunmetal fluted one?

The fluted one.

Okay, sorry; taking a slight tangent.

I have been intrigued for a while about single edge shaves but have struggled with availability and price. Your Katana beats these issues but how available are the blades?

The Katana uses half a DE blade. You split them yourself (easy). Just bend the edges of a wrapped DE blade towards each other and it snaps easily. so.....you have a massive choice

... or you can buy pre-snapped blades, often described as "Saloon Blades".

Not to be confused with a Saloon Pack.

Ah. Thank you all. Not what I'm after then: DE in my Muhle work perfectly, I was looking into the world of dedicated SE blades at a reasonable price.

Have you actually got an AC/SE Razor, If so there are Feather Pro, Schick Proline, Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink. You can get info on them by doing search.
If you do not have a Razor, the most widely available are the RazorRock Hawks.

The fluted one.

And it's too short?
