What is the style of the Merkur 38C handle?

[Carter]

I'm considering purchasing the Merkur 38C and I was wondering if someone could enlighten me on the style of its handle. From what I've read, it's a traditional handle design, specifically a Barber-Pole Handle with a non-slip grip, which I think would fit comfortably in my larger hands. I'm intrigued by its hefty 4.25 oz weight and 4-inch length, which should provide a solid feel during shaving. I'm also curious to know if the screw that holds the two-piece design together is easy to tighten and loosen. I've read that some users prefer the Merkur 38C over Twist-To-Open (TTO) razors, and I'm wondering if the sleek chrome finish and closed comb design make it more suitable for daily shaving. Additionally, I've seen mentions of butterfly door razors, but I'm not sure how they compare to the Merkur 38C's separate handle and head design. Are there any significant changes in shaving experience between the two? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

A great discussion on the Merkur 38C! I'd like to add that the Barber-Pole Handle's non-slip grip is indeed a thoughtful design feature, especially for those with larger hands. It's a clever balance of comfort and control.
