    Default Advice for a long handled TTO

    My boss just got the Weishi and likes it well enough, but he's looking for a long handled TTO. From what I can tell, only Parker is making new ones, and I keep seeing they have some QC issues and aren't consistent with making a good razor. Anyone out know of any I missed? Otherwise I'm sure there are easy to get vintage ones...

    I have the Cadet TTO-15 and it is a heavy handled long TTO razor. Look for it also at Shaveabuck.com .

    For vintage, search on your favorite auction site for "gillette knack" or "gillette slim twist."

    Any idea if the Cadets have better QC going than the Parkers? I know both are made in India...

    The one I have and the OC head seem to have much better QC. It may be that Joe is enforcing that upon the "supplier" to meet his specifications.

    A vintage Blue Lady Gillette perhaps? I know some of us are not afraid to use a lady razor :)
