They are nice looking razors.
Nice looking razors, & nice shaving razors!

This is my Tuckaway. I like the way it shaves, but would like a longer handle.
I would also like to keep thing vintage, so not looking for a modern handle.
I have seen similar flat bottom plates on the Mr. Razor site, but am not sure if they are the same top and bottom plate designs.

The second image in post #3 is of a handle that is also quite different, likely using tube from a Big Fellow. The only other vintage option that I can think of is the handle of a Hybrid Big Boy:
