Do you suppose the 'weight thingie' might make the handle long enough for you?Second shave with my SSSeygus this morning.
Configuration: standard handle without the weight thingie:
Had no problems with the balance or the (lack of) weight - what bothered me was the length of the handle - it really is too
short to my taste (but of course YMMV).
Yes, standard handle plus "weight thingie" is OK, but a handle of 100 mm long would be even better for me ...Do you suppose the 'weight thingie' might make the handle long enough for you?
Second shave with my SSSeygus this morning.
Configuration: standard handle without the weight thingie:
Loaded with the Rainbow Super Stainless blade - 8th and last time.
The blade definitively reached its end-of-life.
Had no problems with the balance or the (lack of) weight - what bothered me was the length of the handle - it really is too
short to my taste (but of course YMMV).
Nevertheless a nice smooth DFS++ shave ....
A word to the wise on Todds Cuts. I too bought one of their razors with the black/plain metal finish handles, which I think is the same as @Father Ted 's, purely for the handle, which looks nice enough and is supposedly stainless. If indeed it is stainless, it's an incredibly low grade. On a flat surface, with a medium strength ordinary (i.e. not rare-earth) magnet, the handle will roll to the magnet when the latter is about 1 1/2 inches (38mm) away. That's not what I'd expect from a lump of even 304 grade stainless; more like plain old steel.Checked eBay for Todds Cuts - handle looks OK, but postage (to the Netherlands) a little bit steep - to my taste ...
I've got that Windrose handle, and think that it's perhaps the nicest in the range.Shaved with the SSSeygus for the 5th time.
Configuration this time:
Handle "Windrose", 92 mm long, weight 54 grams.
Blade Personna Lab Blue (3).
Again: length of handle OK, weight OK, balance OK.
And again a DFS++ result.
For the time being, this was the last test - until new accessoiries enter the stage ...
As of tomorrow I'll enjoy the razor in its standard configuration.
