i will keep my eye out..the french 44 sets come up a lot..and the handle threads are usually quite worn so they are cheaper..

I kept my eye out once, but it kept getting dry and I had to dip it in a glass of water.

The handles I like best are the ones I just made from aluminium tube with brass inserts. I modelled them on the Wolfman Guerrilla. 59mmx16mm and 61g. That's perfect for my hands. I didn't add any knurling because I really like the feel of the plain handle and it's grippy enough for me. I made myself four and I could easily make some more if needed.

Nice work.

As far as handles go I think the Cobra Classic has it sorted! P.

As many others, I’m with @Wayne on this – can’t beat the Bulldog. My favorite is the Weber Razor Bulldog, 80 mm. I recently got a polished iKon 80 mm Bulldog, as well, and it looks a little nicer than the Weber, but nothing beats the grip of the Weber handle.

I’ll admit to being a sucker for aesthetics, and have acquired several handles mainly due to looks. Yet when I pick up the Weber, a lightbulb turns on somewhere inside my spacious head…

@Matsilainen if you think nothing can beat the grip of a Bulldog you myst try a Braveheart handle from Executive Shaving. Awesome knurling on those bad boys.

What is that top razor, that's unfamiliar to me?

That is a Mulcuto "Schragschnitt" - Made in Germany circa 1930's. The head was the design that the iKon replicated in their 102, pity they didn't also make the handle.

Very nice! I have seen bakelite versions on forums before, that one is classy.

Difficult for me to just name one handle type so here a few of my favorites.

Stork RWD and Anaconda handles have a unique shape with top ergonomics and high level of grip.

Aesthetically the LAW Ripple handle is difficult to beat.

The Rasmussen Surgical Prep Razor handle scores top in category „Form follows function“

If it comes to Aristocrate handles and fit and finish, my choice is UFO.

Depends on the razor handle combo.

My favorite de razor is the ShaveCraft #104 Tech, but it became my favorite after I bought (just by a whim) a Stork Classic aluminum handle. For me the perfect handle for this razor. Similar it is with my other razors.

SC Tech - Stork Classic aluminum
Wolfman WR1 - Stork EX3 titanium
CG CC/OC L3 - Stork Aristocrat bronze
ATT Windsor C/SSH1 - Stork EX4 titanium
iKon B1 Standard - iKon Bamboo DLC or iKon Bulldog 1
iKon B1 Deluxe OC - iKon Bulldog 1
SC #103 Shortcomb - iKon Bulldog 1
...
Alumigoose V1 - King Cobra handle
ATT SE1 SS - Jürgen Hempel bamboo titanium
...
So, depends on the razor and the balance using a specific handle. But of course, I also enjoy the aesthetics of the Stork handles or my Jürgen Hempel handles.

Very boring but I love the GC super knurl handle

Also love the charcoal goods maze in antique

The super grippy Non Slip handle made by Executive Shaving. Designed by one of the foremost handle experts in the world. The knurling on this bad boy is awesome

Mine would be the iKon OSS handle (95mm). Ideal length, grip, weight.

For me, handle length is the most important criteria (90mm / 3.5"). I like a smooth handle (Guerrilla or Pils) or smooth and spaced knurling (Wolfman WRH7 or Carbon Shaving). Interestingly, I can switch from a wide Guerrilla handle to the narrow EJ 3ONE6 aluminum without thinking.

My sitting idle handles are a 82mm /3.2" Bulldog (too short and balance) and a 85mm with shallow knurling and slippery. Still looking for the ideal handle for my Seygus with a heavy head (Guerrilla style @les24preludes ?)
