handle seems kind of short...anyone have trouble with grip when wet?

It is short, but I got used to it pretty quick. Now I prefer the shorter handle. The handle is smooth and the razor is quite heavy. You'd think it might be hard to grip when wet, but it hasn't been a problem for me. I think there is a more textured version available if that's a concern though.

Yes, it's hard to flip sides when your hand is wet. The short handle makes it worse. Still the shave is worth it.

There are a number of great handle options that can be used with this razor. Maggards, Weber, Apollo, Ikon... etc all make some very nice stainless handles from light, to long, to heavy that work well. I personally love the Maggard's MR5 handle with this head.

The handle is somewhat short but I have found that the shorter handle helps give me more control while shaving. Even though the handle is smooth I have not had any trouble gripping the razor while wet. I love the Edwin Jagger razors.

Some do and some dont.. The only issue im still getting use to is the weight

I haven't been bothered by the handle length.My first one so I just accepted it and got to like it.The slippery handle was a problem.Someone on line suggested wrapping a couple of rubber bands around handle.Worked great.In fact the resulting wider grip is also a plus for me.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

I was wondering the handle comfort between the two? I have a standard umbrella stroller and other then the stroller being too short..the handles hurt my hands. But that could be because it's not the easiest to push.

The outer handle is rather tight. Just wiggle around the "loosen/tighten" indication on the outer tube until it gives, then lengthen it at your preferred length. Maybe ask someone else to try it for you, it should work.

I'm 6'2" as well, and I don't need to bend over to hold the handle at all, but I usually have it at the lowest setting while I'm playing video games - so both of my hands are on the controller. :)

i use a palm grip works wonderful for me, its got a nice curve to it. I have smaller hands as im female, i'm not sure if that makes a difference

I have not measured the handle but I have regular sized hands and it is not too long or too short. I don't know if that's going to help or not. I hope it does.

I have had no issues with the grip. I would remove it, clean the contacts on the bottom, and try again.

Yes, the handle has an excellent textured rubber grip,. Even when wet, grip is very hardy.

Its not that high, but it will make you jump. Try gripping the handle with your fingers instead of having the handle on your palm.

Pretty flexible you can make a U-bend of the tip to touch the handle. If you hold it out straight at waist height it naturally droops downwards.

I have a handle which can be extended and it works just fine. I only use it to go around edges of the pool and do the steps. It works well for what I do.

I am not sure about the handle length, but would not recommend it, regardless. The rubber is very hard, and is not very effective in the shower.

not long enough. I am 5 feet 5 inches tall and I'm not comfortable with it at all. I bought another brand earlier that had a longer handle but I can't remember the brand name so I thought I would try this one in addition to what I previously had, and I like the one I previously had better.

Leather is stretched tight to wrap around the handle. You should treat it with a leather conditioner (see Amazon review from JD) and it will slowly soften up and feel more natural. Once it does you will have the grip you're probably looking for.

Mine is remaining tight so far but I have not used the shovel very much yet. I did look at how they attached it to the handle and it looks like a "wedge" type of system with two screws. It looks like they attached the wedge on the handle at the factory and then slide the plastic shovel down onto it. If mine does loosen up I will drill a small hole in the topside of the shovel and install a screw into the handle. Good luck with yours, other than the issue you are having, the shovel does work very well and the longer handle is very nice especially if you are tall...
