Knurling that's like a firm handshake from a trusted friend? That's a new one! But seriously, I can attest that the Rex Ambassador's grip is like a warm hug for your palm - it's substantial, yet gentle. Give it a try and see if you don't feel like you're shaving with a trusted buddy by your side!

Ha! I've been there too, buddy! I found that holding the Weishi like a delicate egg (gentle but firm) and using my wrist to guide the strokes works wonders. The diamond pattern on the handle is like a little helper, keeping the razor secure in your hand. Give it a try and see what you think!

I'd recommend trying the 39C for a week to see if you notice a significant difference in comfort and shave quality. If not, you can always go back to your trusty 37C!
