The Cobbett Handle (1968 J. Cobbett) offered a solution to the drag whilst still preventing the skin rolling around the guard. The guard slides to and fro but does not rotate. The Braithwaite Handle was modified by cutting a “D” section instead of a circular hole in the a guard end of one of the cam levers and grinding a corresponding flat on the side of the end of the guard. The modified handle has little drag and no tendency for the skin to roll up on the guard.
