Does anyone know if the current offered razors have the same geometry like the 2019 models?

Looks through the firs 1-3 pages of this thread, Andy addressed your last question, essentially yes

I am gobsmacked that anyone would consider swapping out the handle of this razor. To me that is like swapping out the hood ornament of a Rolls Royce. You own it and can do what you want, I guess. SMH.

I have no problem swapping something out that betters the shave.

I swapped the hood ornament on my Mercedes , might do the Rolls if I found something I liked better.

Who are we trying to please here?

I also wish the handle was a bit shorter, 90mm would have been perfect. That is literally my only criticism of the DB.

Yeah I'm an 80-85mm guy and prefer a more traditional balance point north of where it is on the DB which is quite handle heavy for a head shaver.

Can Anybody compare the Diamondback with a Carbon Razor regular plate or the new +,,,++ plates. Thanks

I find the DB both significantly smoother and more efficient than the original Cx plate. I haven't used the +/++ plates yet so can't make that comparison. Blade feel is also much less on the DB.

Thanks for the feedback. Now just need to hear about the +/++plates
