You could always just buy a handle that's M5 threaded and just use that instead of the stock one.Good evening gents. I have purchased my 1st De razor, it is a Muhle R89, it is a nice razor and shaves real nice (for me).
Only thing wrong with it is it seems too small for me, I'm a big guy 6'-2" so the razor feels small.
So the question is what De razor shaves real nice but is larger to suite a bigger hand?
Ive had a good look at the razor & I dont like the light knurling it has, it makes it feel slippy. So I think a longer thicker handle with deeper knurling would fix things.Five things could be your issue:
a) you need to get used to it. Persevere and you might actually like what you already have. Give it some time. Cheapest option.
b) the handle is too short. Get a longer handle for your razor. EBay?
c) the handle is not thick enough. Get a thicker handle.
d) the handle is too short and too thin. You get the picture.
e) The razor is not heavy enough. Get a stainless steel or brass razor. The most expensive option.
It's for you to decide what the issue actually is.
f) Try out all of the above. Buy more razors, handles, etc. That's the traditional approach here and will cost you an arm and a leg.
Personally, I'd stick with a) and get on some pass-arounds to try different razors to learn what is available. But nobody ever listens to me.
To find out if that's the issue, wrap some rubber bands around the handle.Ive had a good look at the razor & I dont like the light knurling it has, it makes it feel slippy. So I think a longer thicker handle with deeper knurling would fix things.
I'll add to that - flexible, stretchy silicone tape, the sort that's used for temporary plumbing fixes should be good for this as well.You could over-sleeve with heat shrink ... or you could buy in a length of correctly bored silicone hose and size the walls to pad out as you'd think right (you can even get food grade transparent hose).

What does your height have to do with a razor handle?I recently purchased a Maggard MR1 for a vintage Tech, it cost £19 from Shaving Time.
I am 6' 3'' & 18 stone, the handle is just right fr me.
