    Alex, my friend,
    Thank you for the information. I certainly will consider the titanium handle.

    No problem Obie. I cant believe how good these handles feel. I now have 4 Hempel titanium handles and have no desire to go back to heavier ss handles for any of my DEs. They seem to balance razors better and feel more agile.

    Plus Hempel is great to deal with (via facebook) and makes you feel welcome.

    Ask Jurgen for the options, he has different size ones and they will have different mass.

    I would recommend getting one. Excellent shave. But I agree, the Super Pros will bite.

    Yes that one great on bullgoose, plus it will help if you are in America. Other than that you will have to add him on facebook and then message him on there.

    I shaved with the MG again today. Feather pro and this was the 6th shave with the blade. Three days growth. The last shave I peeled a layer or two, or three, of skin off of the front and side of my neck. Not bad but who wants that.

    Today I lathered up well with an old Rooney FInest prototype and QED Lavander. I wasn't sure if the peeling skin on the previous shave was due to the blade or the operator, so I took extra care.

    I found that focusing on a light touch gave a great smooth and bbs shave with absolutely no irritation, residual stubble, or weepers. The MG with a heavy handle requires concentration .......... at least with me it does. Worth the effort for the result.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
