I would like to spend 15 minutes of my time to post a review of the 3 custom made Goliath XL handles I received 4 days ago.I have now shaved with each one, and have admired the craftsman work done by the Master Rafael. These handles are truly without exaggerating WORKS OF ART !
You can feel and see it, the handles are works of art. I have not seen anything like this in my life and I read all the major shaving forums in the world. UFO handles simply are spectacular and stunning pieces - and you feel the dedication and heart behind the handles.
So how do they shave ?
They perform fantastic, provided you install the PROPER DE head in them, the handles will gift you with a splendid, close & smooth shave.I bought 3 custom made Goliath handles. One in stainless steel, one in brass and one in red bronze. Custom length was 95 mm.
I installed a matte Ikon OSS head in the Goliath Red Broze. This head is a very mild head, and the 139 gram heavy handle gave me that extra aggression needed to provide for a close, excellent and smooth shave.I installed a matte black Goodfella Open Comb in the Goliath Brass. This head is very mid for being an Open Comb head. The heft of the Goliath Brass handle made sure the Goodfella head performed to its max potential. I got a great shave.
I installed a Mühle R41 very aggressive head in the Goliath Stainless Steel handle. The shave as expected - very aggressive, yet quite smooth and only got one small nick on the chin. I felt the Goliath handle really controlled the power of the R41 head very well, and I got a fantastic 2 pass close shave as a result.
I have now ordered 3 new custom handles from Juan & Rafael - 95 mm Kaisers in Red Bronze, Golden brass and 316 SS. The UFO Goliath handles impressed me that much !
I will quote Teiste, admin on The ShaveNook - "The UFO handles are the best razor handles ever made". 10/10 rating from me.
Here are some photos I took:
