Hey Carl, I'm Type A-. Can you help?

Sure, Rog -- try meditation. Big Grin

Seriously, I don't even know what my blood type is. Given my predilection for naked blades, I guess I'd better find out. Exclamation

============================
Hi Stan,

Re; subject razor, do you plan to offer it with your other knurled handles or as head only? My stroke affected right side grips a knurled handle better and also holds the angle better than a bamboo handle.

Regards,

To which Stan replied as follows:
==========================
Roger,

Yes we will. In time it will be fully integrated with our entire line.
If you want buy now and not wait we will glad to accommodate you with a knurled ATT handle of you choosing.
Just let me know.

Stan
==========================

The Atlas handle will suit me just fine and with a few more early reports, such as Chris' (TSE), I should be good to go.
The Atlas handle is great, but really short. You should take it into consideration if you have problems with your grip. Having said that, I'm enjoying both the Atlas and Kronos handles, and both are superb. For some reason, the Kronos feels slightly better/grippy in my hand.

Good point! My satisfaction with the handle length on my AS-D2 plus Kevin's well lit knurling pics has sold me on the Kronos, instead.

If there's such a thing as classy knurling, the Kronos has it. Grippy as all get-out, too.

PS: Just saw your other thread on Kronos vs. Atlas knurling, Roger, which also mentions the Weber handles. I don't have an Atlas, so can't comment, but the knurling on the Weber Bulldog and Classic is second to none -- a great handle for the price. Not quite up to the ATT standard of workmanship and looks, but a contender nevertheless. That said, I'm betting that ATT SE + Kronos will be a heavenly match.

The Weber Bulldog handle is by far has the best knurling of all my razors. Beats the one on my Wolfman, Razorock and ATT Atlas handle. The finish on the handle is flawless is on par with the level of quality on the ATT.

Weber no longer makes razor heads and seems to only sell handles now.

Gorgeous collection of razors there, Chimay!  The bronze ATT looks to be developing a nice patina.
