Same feelings here, I've been trying to find a cheap brass handle with knurling for some time.
Good find @dowsing ! Very nice looking handle. The only thing I find odd is that it's 3 3/4"/95mm long, according to the description, but only weighs 1.4oz/40 grams. My brass General handle is 15mm shorter and weighs 73 grams (it is 1mm thicker though)... Perhaps you could confirm size and weight when you receive the handle?For anyone still looking for brass handles, I bought this one and will let you know what its like when it gets here:

I very nearly got that one too, hope that the coating removal goes OK.I got the brass handle from windrose for my brass general 'handles arrived but the razor hasnt appeared yet im going to try removing the coating on the handle.Ive bad hands so i like something to grip.
May sound mad but rub some alum on your fingers before you pick up your razor and no slip! just a thought.Had the General a while now, and always used a Charcoal Goods handle with it, today I tried the oe handle and as I expected the weight was good but I found it slippery, not going to use again unless I could get it machined somewhere, put some groove on it, anybody tried this?
What blades have you ordered?@Blademonkey - I am sure i will, cant wait to try it
