Merkur Progress

i did mention on B+B a while ago about getting\modifying the handle on my 570 to help with the grip, the fluted barrel has a smooth chrome finish and although i haven't found it to be slippy others have.

so i asked around and no-one seems to have done it, long story with engineering aspects to it blah blah

my old man got me some heat shrinkable sleeving from his sparky's chest and i've just applied it to my razor, i shall report back later after tonights shave
 
well the sleeving on the handle is a definate improvement, nice grip even when wet :D

just need to get myself familiar with the razor again :roll:
 
I remeber you mentioning this before, the lack of grip is what put me off the progress. I often shave in the shower and because of this a good grip is high up my list of priorities.

Good that it worked OK.
 
i tried 2 different sizes

inch and an eighth
and
seven eighth

the bigger size was so i could slip it over the adjuster knob but it wouldn't shrink enough to fit the barrell so i had to remove that and use the smaller size and that worked fine
