The General in brass

For anyone still looking for brass handles, I bought this one and will let you know what its like when it gets here:

Good find @dowsing ! Very nice looking handle. The only thing I find odd is that it's 3 3/4"/95mm long, according to the description, but only weighs 1.4oz/40 grams. My brass General handle is 15mm shorter and weighs 73 grams (it is 1mm thicker though)... Perhaps you could confirm size and weight when you receive the handle?

No problem, I will do.
 
Had the General a while now, and always used a Charcoal Goods handle with it, today I tried the oe handle and as I expected the weight was good but I found it slippery, not going to use again unless I could get it machined somewhere, put some groove on it, anybody tried this?
May sound mad but rub some alum on your fingers before you pick up your razor and no slip! :) just a thought.
