I Can See Better Than Bigfoot.
Is there a resource that lists all of the various types of vintage Gillette handles — with photos?
Gillette DE Handle Guide?

I'm a big fan of the New and this may not help much but News were offered with many different handles.
I own some short combs with long handles and long combs with short handles and vice versa.
Below are some of the handles I have seen with US made New/New Deluxe three piece razors.
From left:
Ball End, Thin Bar Handle (Long), Shoulderless Bar Handle (Long), Thin Bar Handle, Bar Handle, Tuckaway style.

Some that are not shown are the short Norfolk bar handle, Red Black Bar, and the various British handles.

I don’t see the smaller ball end that I’ve seen on Techs (with Gillette written on the cap). Are those 50’s Techs?
Yes he is. All the pictures are his I didn't mean to take any credit.

Yup, that’s it. Found two of these today. I really like the weight of the handles. I am going to try one with my 1918 Old.I think 40's
Should make a great pair, plus you never have to worry about it splitting.

Exactly. Thanks, kind sir!
Don't forget to give credit to the person who took the original photos, gents.

OK, sorry, I didn't get down that far. Some people "borrow" my pics and I appreciate the occasional acknowledgement.
Usually, if you ask about a specific handle someone will help here on B&B.

Not trying to steal anyone's thunder. Just trying to bring some previously shared information to light again.
Sorry Doug if I shared something of yours without the proper credit. I think everyone here knows I'm an idiot so I must have gotten my information somewhere else.
