UGLY DOG razor handle

Haegar · Aug 16, 2013

I like heavy razor handles.
The Weber Bulldog handle is fine, but with the Ugly Dog razor handle I can not only adjust the balance but also add more weight if I want. :scared:

As a mechanic, this I can get behind!

I've debated turning a stubby snap on screw driver handle into a brush, I wonder if a variant of the ratchet handle....

Ugly. But genius!

Oh well, at least at one end it really shines :biggrin1:

And here the really ugly end, even uglier without head attached. The straight marks in the M12 thread were left by the chuck of the lathe:

Much to your dismay, in the Weber / Ugly Dog combo in the first post there is a vintage Gillette blade inside (X1, 1952). :001_tt2:

Here the same picture again, but a bit bigger so that you can see the blade and suffer a bit:

What? The blade or the threaded rod?

CanuckShaver · Aug 17, 2013

That's handle is so ugly it's actually really cool, Kind of like the A-10 Attack Plane ......... Beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes straight to the bone! :001_tt2:

Ugly yet practical thus I say it is "pugly," but hey if it works a big company might come in take the concept and turn this ugly duckling of a handle into a swan.

Yeah, the term "pugly" describes it pretty well. Now, besides of being a handle that works really well for me, its main intended virtue is to be ugly, so sending the Ugly Dog to the hairdresser's to convert it to a glamour poodle would be a bit strange. But maybe I should file a patent and register the name I gave it as a trademark: Ugly Dog®, or declare it as unregistered trademark: Ugly Dog :lol:
