If you shave frequently, you want a razor that fits your hand. A turned wood handle is slim at the fingertips where you need finer movements and thick and round where it sits in the palm of your hand. This handle is turned in cocobolo, a reddish-brown wood with purple tones. Cocobolo is grown in the central Americas. The handle is treated with tung oil to make it water resistant – wipe dry after each use. The fittings are brass and the blade is Gillette Mach 3. (handle: 5.5 inches long)
