Yes to the great minds and I did notice the difference in knurling. I wanted an aluminum handle like the old BRW one that comes up every so often here on BST and gets snapped up before one can even think about it. Andy was able to get pretty close. I have it on the Ikon slant and it is just the right weight for it. Maybe even better, however, I have a UFO Kaiser Short in aluminum attached to a generic Solingen slant head. Talk about a razor!!!! Both good looks and performance is off the charts.

As I recall it was designed after the Italian Barber bakelite slant. Correct me if I am wrong please.

I like the weight of it, bigggg difference from the UFO's I have, I have NO BRW's .. I just got a
UFO Kaiser Short in stainless today.. I'm gonna pair it with the Rhodium Hoffritz Head.
I think I'm gonna pair the Andy with the Soligen and the Russian slant for awhile...just to compare them.. LOL don't have anything else to do with all this snow and ice!!!
Ok Zepp, what's your temp and how's the golf game!! LOL!!

Another bit of info from the Italian Barber's Fb page. I'm assuming that he means the price will shock in a good way...

we'd take the aluminum ore, heat it to a molten state,add the alloys and pour into billets, ship them out and then, they make the razors

• the construction of bicycle frames and components.

• many fly fishing reels.

• The famous Pioneer plaque was made of this particular alloy.

• the secondary chambers and baffle systems in firearm sound suppressors (primarily pistol suppressors for reduced weight and functionality), while the primary expansion chambers usually require 17-4PH or 303 stainless steel or titanium.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP]

• The upper and lower receivers of many AR-15 variants.

• Many aluminum docks and gangways are constructed with 6061-T6 extrusions, and welded into place.

Cheers. It's a bit utilitarian in that the post ends up being the bare unplated metal as I had to cut a new thread. I also had to epoxy a spacer to the bottom plate as I couldn't get the thread quite far enough down the post ( my die has too big a diameter to fit between the pins ) I'm sure the process could be smartened up though. Btw it just took a bit of drilling and a cheapo die to cut the thread. I'm no machinist, just happy to fiddle and do a bit of DIY
