Hi there

Welcome!

I agree, long handled choices in vintage; Gillette Starburst, SlimTwist & Knack, the last 2 are plastic handled, and not that vintage :)
As mentioned, the Superslim adjustable also has a long handle, the slim itself is not bad either. (bit longer than superspeeds)

Also agree on the straights.. damn that's an addictive game! (says he who has stopped counting DEs & straights)

Cheers,

Max
 
Cheers Max, been having a nose round online after the various suggestions an yeah, the gillettes you mention look a good route to go down. Currently trialing a merkur 12c thanks to JohnnyO an the longer handle definitely works better for the larger handed amongst us I reckon, very different shave to my now tiny looking tech obviously. Collecting's gonna start soon isn't it :roll: can see a future containing a shelf full of the buggers along with the requisite too many brushes an various soaps, hey ho, another expensive hobby.

No interest in straight razors just now but never say never, see how much room's left on the shelf once I decide I have enough de's.

Get more shelfs in the bathroom, I did, and a display cabinet... :oops: :oops:
You can never have enough, and it can get quite obsessive, I speak from experience...
(boxed, NOS, mint, limited editions etc....)
