I am new to shaving with a Double Edge razor, so I can only speak for the basics.
Very good construction, stylish and quite modern-looking compared to most models that have a classic vintage aesthetic.
The handle is relatively slim but has perfect non-slip grip made of black aluminum. Personally, I preferred the longer handle, but that is subjective.
The weight is close to the head and I believe this facilitates movements with minimal force.
Finally, to those who still shave with multi-blade disposable razors, I have to say... Throw them away!
Try a double edge razor with good blades and you will remember me.
Just be careful with the replacement blades, especially where there are small children, etc. It is a matter that requires great attention.
