New acrylic handle

Here is my newest rasor handle. I hope noone minds me posting it here since there isn't a separate thread for razor handles.

I don’t have a problem with the post. Nice handle, is it going to be for a DE, SE or a cart?

Man, that thing is SICK. Nice work sir, really!

Beautiful handle! What's its weight?

DE as is and SE with an adapter screw. I cannot foresee ever using a cart again personally. It's ok if someone else does if that's what works for them, but they are definitely not what works for me.

Beautiful handle! What's its weight?

I don't have a scale to weigh it with. However holding it in one hand and the Gillette tech fat handle in the other they feel very similar in weight and very similar to the Gem baton handle with the same comparison. Although I'm not the best at this type of comparison it is a very comfortable weight to me. Here is a pic of the three for size comparison.

I lined up the top of the baton handle not the top of the screw.

Thank you everyone. It was very fun making this handle and I have to thank @Ricksplace for the brass inserts for this handle and one for the bullet casing handle i recently made. I'm very happy with how they both turned out. I shaved with them today and they can both be seen with razor heads on here Micromatic Monday - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/micromatic-monday.547970/

All three are great threads if you haven't checked them out yet.

How long did it take you to make the handle?

How long did it take you to make the handle?

A couple hrs total with waiting for glue to dry turning and polishing.

Nice!!! That’s pretty much my preferred shape for any handle that is held solely by one hand. Sort of a half bead leading into a long flowing cove then fat at the end. It fits the hand perfect, giving a great spot for your thumb to rest and just enough meat for your palm to stabilize it.
