    Not really. The King Cobra handle is only 8omm and the head another 44mm. The razor is 124mm long. A Big Boy!

    My entry-token into the club arrived, surprisingly, already today:

    First impression - this razor is BIG and BEAUTIFUL. I'd be tempted to call it a BBR.
    If this thing shaves as well as it looks I may be in razor-love.

    The handle is very different. Grippy but also a bit a bit 'rough' in a way. It will be very interesting to try it out. I know a lot of people put a custom handle on it and I'm looking forward to seeing what options there are out there but for now I think I will enjoy it as-it-is :)

    How big is the Cobra then you ask?
    Well, let's compare it to the rather gigantic Mongoose and you can see for yourself.....

    This will be fun....

    It's sort of pushing the boundary as far as how big a razor can be...but I must say from just playing around with it today it feels well balanced. I normally don't shave on the weekend but I might just have to break that habit tomorrow :)

    I was looking around, for fun, on the interweb to see what 3rd party handles people seem to favor on the King Cobra and found some interesting ones.

    Note, obviously not a complete list...just some eye-candy and food for thoughts :)

    The UFO handle.
    I think this is a stunning handle that compliments the head really well.
    @CyanideMetal I assume these are no longer made/available?

    Triad handles
    Then there's the Triad handles.
    I feel that Triad probably have/had most KC versions made, here are some;
