I noticed this review was lacking photos, so I thought I would post a few (I understand that dpmtherrien's razor has a stainless steel handle though).
Upon first holding this razor, I was floored by it's weight. I had previously attempted to use a Dovo Shavette, which has very little weight. The Kai has a lot of weight, and is probably pretty close in weight to a regular straight.
It's build quality is superb, and I like that it is possible to load the razor without actually touching the blade.
I sold mine after a handful of uses, not due to any fault of the razor, but due to my overall lack of technique with it.
