That was a good score with the Tradere handle included as a spare in the deal. I already have decided to put a Bull Dog handle on mine after the test shave. Not because there is anything wrong with the factory handle it's just that a bigger diameter handle is easier on these older hands of mine. I think I am starting to get to know that old bugger Art Rightus too well.

Seems there is a fly in the ointment when it comes to threading the Bull Dog handle onto the Fatip head. The thread pitch is different between the two. Will have to see if I can get a buddy to turn a new stainless handle with the right thread pitch.
