I had an incredible shave with the Gillette Hybrid Tech and Subtle Art Soap Co. Black Diamond yesterday. This is a fantastic scent.
According to the website the scent notes are. "Fir Needle, cedar wood, rosemary, carnation, winter moss, mint" well I'm not great at describing scents but it smells wonderful.

Very cool. I don't remember, did they also make a thick solid handle?

Thank You.Yes they made a thick solid Fat handle in aluminium...French No.14 set.





They also made a 1 piece (not tube and ferrule pressed together like all the other Fat handles) thick walled hollow Fat handle for the French market Tech..



Here it is on my Tech Hybrid..

So the French thick wall hollow is probably the heaviest fat tech handle?

Possibly,,I would think so..are you looking for a heavier handle for your Hybrid?..I use my French hollow handle on my Hybrid because the original handle was missing from my set..I think it was lost or my set was pillaged for parts..I guess the bonus was the added weight..regular fat handle-22.08 g, French hollow handle-33.6 g..No idea how much the solid aluminium fat handle weighs..

That would be really cool, if I ever find one for a reasonable price that is. And not just for the Tech Hybrid. That or a Karve Gtech. How much do those weigh?

The Karve GTech 3 inch handle weighs 57.64 Grams.Check out Ebay France for those hollow handles..they come up from time to time in different tech sets..
