Most comfortable handle?

Mine is the Timeless Ti Crown, I use with as many heads as possible.
Spanish UFO Colibri or for heavier heads the Kaiser Fine, sadly no longer made. Very nice Gillette barberpole knurling in stainless.
The magnificent "Fat Handle", in production from 1938 to approximately 1950.
The finest stock handle Gillette ever produced IMO.
Wonderful feel, control and ergonomics.
I suspect the designer of the Karve Overlander injected some Fat Handle DNA into his own handle design.

Maggard's MR11. I also really like using the Razorock fat bar handle. Looks like a New LC handle in stainless.
Another vote for the Timeless Ti crown

No argument from me. Perfect handle.

Another vote for the Fat or Common Bar. Plus side is that they are hollow, you can play around with weight/fillings.
Comfort & looks, I only can think of my SS clone of the Gillette Red Tip, love the heft & longitude, the secureness on hand. And very cheap.

Another vote for the timeless crown in Ti. Simply the best.
After that I'd say wolfman WRH1 or WRH2. The WRH1 in particular has supreme knurling

I have 7 Timeless Ti Crown handles... only one of them has a Timeless Ti 068)C head on it... the rest have SS razor heads that made my top razor list.
Depends on the razor. Some I like using with a lighter handle, some with a heavier one. For the light ones, I really like the handle that came with Muhle R41. For the heavier, I use Maggard’s MR7. The original Gillette’s “Fat” handle is really good too, although I prefer a little longer.
Another vote for the Ti Crown.
The stock, short barber pole that Above the Tie used on their Windsor.
My favourite razor is a Lupo 95 with the beautiful crown handle. Match made in heaven. It is also in my opinion the most beautiful handle out there
I purchased a Ti Crown handle and stand last year to use with either my Ti Blackbird or Ti Wolfman, used it a couple times with each one and found I didn't really like it and its just been sitting there now gathering dust... I really like my Ti BB handle the most.
Razorock Barber Pole handle I have on my Game Changer.
My favorite everyday handle was formerly a center punch from Harbor Freight. Several folks have discussed making their own, but here's a link to one discussion

4 inch handle for my NEW
I am looking for a gold or brass colored 4 inch long handle to use with my Gillette NEW. I shaved with my New yesterday, it delivers a great shave. The handle I have is only 3 inches long. I really do not want to buy a custom handle due to the cost. One option I found so far is the Equinox Old...
