First time using my new handle from templ8. The idea for this handle was to have ridges to provide grip and to remind me to not grip the handle too hard. Certainly feels different in the hand and my pinky slips nicely under the bottom of the handle to prevent slipping down.
It did however provide an excellent shave but that's not surprising using my best products.
