For handles with a normal diameter there is absolutely no issue in use. Aesthetically, you can‘t do much better than the stock handle as it tapers toward the narrow head.
Blackland Vector SE razor (AC type)
- Thread starter struttura.originaria
- Start date
The threaded post uses standard threading and can be used with any handle. Like mentioned above, you'll want a handle with a narrow top. Handles with a large diameter top may actually spill over the lather holes. That's not really a functional issue, but it's not ideal. And it looks ugly.

I like that. Razors should not only be functional, but should have a bit of beauty to them. Many of today's designs are very industrial for my tastes. I little finesse can go a long way.
Yep I am definitely mindful of the aesthetics as well even though my use of non-stock handles usually has to do with my preferences regarding length, diameter, weight, as well as grip.
I've never owned an SE razor of any flavor; have borrowed friends' AC razors in the past. I'm just trying to decide if I should potentially waste money by starting with a less expensive AC razor (upcoming SS Hawk, for example) or just dive in & get the Vector, which appears to be building consensus as the best AC safety razor. I know I can't actually buy either today, so actually glad I have time to ponder before needing to scramble once the Hawk is released & the Vector is readily available.
Thanks all.

Blackland offer a money back return (or they used to) if you don't like it. Makes it a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned (I'm one of those who think it's the best AC razor ever so I might be a bit biased).
Yeah, its a belter. I cannot see how an AC SE can be any better...
The only thing I would like to see is an OC (or scalloped?) version... @Blackland Razors??
@Blackland Razors , if I'm quick enough on the trigger, will be getting into my wallet once the Tradere is released + maybe the Vector. I've really wanted to own a Blackland again after a short run with the BB didn't work out for me several years ago. Props to Shane for making a picky *** like me fixate on his brand even while not owning any of his products.
OC is likely this year. By scalloped do you mean a scalloped safety bar or a scalloped top cap? I'll probably do neither, but OC would be fun.
Thanks! Eventually I'm sure I'll make something that works well for you. There are quite a few projects in the pipeline at varying price points and styles so there's bound to be something that hits for just about everyone.
We’re juuuust about caught up on polished Vectors so it’ll be less than a week.

OP hasn’t been seen since last Summer. My guess is a Jürgen Hempel.
