I'm just on the cusp of being uncomfortable with the short/Bulldog handles on my DE's. So far I haven't dropped any, but do move my hand around a lot while shaving to re-grip, so sometimes wish for a slightly longer handle.
I've got a short-barreled Progress I like very much but am thinking of getting the Mergress extended knob for a slightly longer hold. I also have an EJ DE89 Barley that feels slippery and short-ish to me, and have a Weber PH Bulldog en route and may face the same problem.
It's not just the knurling, or lack thereof, but the length that bothers me. I don't like the looks of the Weber Classic handle -- it just looks too long and not right to me. The Tradere might be too long also.
I am considering the Ikon Bulldog (II) handle at 85mm for use on the both the EJ and PH. There's also the UFO Kaiser Short. Anyone have any suggestions or insights on if I'm taking the right route here? Thanks in advance.
