    I have carpal tunnel syndrome on both hands and find it hard to grasp smaller things and was wondering if anybody knows the diameter of the Edwin Jagger Kelvin handle as I am looking for a thicker handled razor I have a merkur 34c and it has a diameter of just 12mm could anybody recommend a razor with a thicker handle the ej Kelvin would be good if handle was big enough I will thank you all just now for your advice ☺️

    Maybe a Gillette fat handle tech would do or just look for a separate handle that is fatter. Welcome to the Den.

    Welcome to the Den. Perhaps you would like one of those fat handles. They are pretty cool. This is the Scotch and Stowe.

    That's the same one I bought, less than $20.00 shipped and had Delta Echo refinish with a Gillette short comb head. Good grip and weight as I also have carpal tunnel.

    They appear to be the same. The Scotch and Stowe has a finish on it though.

    The Berkeley Custom Shaver is the easiest to hold razor I've have the pleasure of using.
    You can both google and search button here. Aside from being great for limited hand use people, it makes a great travel razor, is adjustable, and gives a great shave. 2016-09-23-17-58-27-1209147224.jpg images-6.jpg

    Scotch & Stowe. Maggard's are out of stock. Look on Ebay for Scotch & Stowe if you want it now. They have two kinds, chrome plated brass and stainless

    The Berkeley Custom Shavers were made in the sixties, i found mine on the bay. They go around 50 bucks, but whos to say with auctions.
    I love mine, ive got limited hand use.
