How do UFO Handles Compare To BRW?

I have been seeing many UFO handles in pics on here lately and I know that BRW is sadly now a thing of the past so I was wondering how the UFO handles compare to Bob's work in both quality and price. I have a BRW Bull Mastiff NEW and I like the looks of the UFO barber pole styles I have seen but cannot for the life of me figure out how to tell the price on the website and haven't read any reviews.
 
His pricing is in Euro and is listed in the title line of each offering. Pretty much all between 40 and 50 Euros or about 51 to 63 USD before shipping. They really look nice and some are crazy heavy!
 
Logan, have you purchased one of his handles? If so, how much was shipping to the US? He has some really nice handles and I might be interested in purchasing one of them.
 
I haven't purchased one... Yet. They sure look nice. Hopefully someone will pop in with their shipping cost experience. Or you could drop him an email. Heck, it's only money!
 
Has anyone picked up Bob's torch yet? The UFO handles look nice but in my opinion, Bob's had a certain flair that the UFO handles lack.
 
8 euros ($10.25) registered mail with tracking number to US for one razor handle, discounted for more then one..... That's today's conversion rate...... Various a few cents each day depended on conversion rate.

I have one that has been setting in US postal/customs in NY for 9 days now.

The UFO 316L steel are the same used for the Armix clocks, much better quality than the other steel.
 
The UFO handles that Rafael makes are superb. i would say almost up to par with Bob's work, in my opinion. i only say almost as i think Bob was making them well before Rafael started. i believe Bob was his inspiration to start making handles.
i would highly recommend the UFO handles. i got mine for $60 shipped, but the heavier and bigger ones would be a bit more. Good luck.
Here is Rafael's website for more information: http://uforazorhandles.blogspot.com.es/

OK, hold up here a second! In no way did i mean any DISRESPECT or imply there were any hidden fee's, anything DISHONEST when i said "Thats strange" I was thinking at the time that there seemed to be quite a variation or difference in the shipping costs? UFO Handles are beautiful hand crafted pieces of art and i am sure Rafael is a great person and his handles are worth every penny, eur ,peso, pound,etc. to the people who purchase them. Juan is very informative and will fully explain in detail all the shipping fees associated with each handle. Tradere, Weber are made here in U.S.A and are a little cheaper and cheaper to ship. Some may find those handles to be a little less appealing than the UFO handles as i do. But that just happens to be a cheaper alternative for us cheapskates, tightwads, and thrifty people:biggrin1:
