    Default love the shave, but gripping this razor is odd.. ever have this problem?

    this is my Gilchrist, looks to be made by W&B

    LOVE the shave, best shave i can get between DE's, a couple other straights I tried, and my wosty ..

    but the shape and the very slim scales make for an odd grip.. combined with the fact that the scales are slightly loose leaving no tension makes it hard to use the scales as well as a grip sometimes..

    now this sucker shaves GREAT, its my go to razor and im pretty sure it will be for a WHILE, i dont want to even try anything else until i can sell some things to get my other W&B redone by someone..

    but, holding it is odd, and stropping it even worse with the scales (btw NOT looking to redo the scales at all)

    its WELL worth it to me... just wondering if anyone else deals with issues like this to use something they love? my worry is one day it will slip out and cut me on the way down or worse the blade might get hurt..

    what do you guys think/do?
