Hi Max,
Unless you like a head-heavy razor, you might do better with a 3.5" Kronos handle instead. Here's why:
The razor head weighs 55 g., the 3" Atlas handle weighs 56 g., and the 3.5" Kronos handle weighs 71 g.
With the Atlas handle, even if you hold the razor right behind the head, the head still falls forward.
Not so with the Kronos, where the razor balances perfectly at the top of the knurling about 3/4" from the head.
That being said, I still sold mine, because I liked The General better. It's cheaper too.
BTW thanks for selling me your short handled Blackbird. It's a great razor; one of my favorites. All the best.

Thanks for the advice on the handle length. It's good to hear from someone who's "been there."
