How did you find the handle in practice?
It seems like it could be a little slippery, unless one would grab it pretty close to the head.

Absolutely no issue with grip, so that the thought did not cross my mind even once during the 3 shaves I have now had with it. The balance is such that I hold it with my thumb and index finger on the raised grippy bit and my pinky finger under the base of the handle. The ensuing shave feels very natural and controlled.

they cost me like a brush ... I had been looking for them for years and I found them by chance from a seller in America who shipped to Afghanistan but not Italy ( as many others ) So I asked to a friend in USA to buy them for me and send them to me with fedex.
I could not even use my account on “ Shipito” because the American address did not match with my credit card adress …

Arrived this morning.

A StandoPolsaka Lando 2022 80mm handle to accompany my Yaqi Excalibur handle. It looks and feels amazing, though should have stuck with the 90mm version I originally wanted. No matter it looks and feels amazing especially the knurling and suits the head perfectly. It certainly makes me want to try one of his own razors and heads as well.

Looks pretty good, and even the shade of grey seems to be pretty close.

I have the Chors, Cat Claw and Prowe II OC heads and like them a fair bit. Somewhat tempted by Leschy, but I think I'm alright for now.

Beautiful, Joseph.

Thank you for the kindness David. It's always appreciated my beloved friend. Compared to my emerald chubby 3 Manchurian. This knot in the briar seems considerably more soft and pliable. Sincerest respects as always. J.

Lathered and brushed. Now drying. Not one shed of hair from the knot. A truly superb knot in this one I must say. Chalk and cheese from my chubby 3 emerald.
