Wow - $25 for a HUGE SS handled razor! Those folks are awesome! Just sayin'. I am not affiliated in any way, just had great experiences with them. I will let you google it - the new MR8.
Maggard's new stainless handled razor!

That's massive. The weber classic handle is almost too heavy for me and that is nearly twice the weight.
Wow, that is a big handle. Longer than my RR SLAB handle and nearly three times the weight of my Atlas

Let us know how it is
I wonder what alloy it is made of (they differ in rust resistance and such).
Also, I'm curious if it is machined or cast (not that I think it would matter in itself ... just a curiosity).
For $25 including an EJ89 clone head ... hard to beat the price.
Cheers!

Damn ! I just had to spent US$ 38 including shipping to Brazil.
Every time I see there's a new stainless handle, I get excited hoping it has barber pole knurling like the Gillette Bulldog. Ah well, maybe next time.
Why do I have the urge to buy one of these heavy razors? I'll have to give it some thought.
Have you seen the ATT Atlas?
The handle dwarfs the head ... it's so unexpected that it almost looks comical.
Might shave really well for some though.

My good deed for the day: Done! Lol! 
Just proof to me that the Feathers, Pils, etc. are vastly overpriced. I realize the HANDLE is stainless and not necessarily the head, but still. Their site also says a sub $20 stainless handle razor will be available in 6-12 weeks.
I'll wait for a review.

That is one massive handle.
That is one massive handle.
Bought one -- couldn't resist. I thought my UFO Goliath was over the top at 115g, but this thing is 35g heavier!
If it's too heavy to shave with, it'll make a nice paperweight.

I shouldn't have read this thread. Just ordered one myself. I can't wait to try it out.
Holy huge handles Batman, I'm not sure I could lift that. Wow.
