My favorite handle of all time is the Above the Tie "Atlas".
Looks awesome, beautiful grip and 3 inch length which I prefer.

Wow Doug, That is one gorgeous Mustang. Love the paint color too. I bet you put alot of hours and work into the Stang. They don’t make them like they used to!
Thanks for sharing!
It had a custom built class 3 trailer hitch when I used it to tow my ski-boat from 1978-1988. Got some interesting looks at the racetrack. Don't see too many 11 second street cars with trailer hitches. Lol.

I have taken to using my Razorock UFO handle with both the Gamechanger and Henson heads. It just seems to feel good to me.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose. Although I admit I'm a form over function guy with regards to recent hobby'ing.
I don't mind shaving with longer handles, but with my small collection of mostly sleeker heads, shorter handles are more aesthetically balanced. I'm sure a 100mm handle will look fine with a Timeless!
For something readily available, the RazoRock vintage bar handles are awesome. Grippy, heavy, but short enough that balance is never an issue:
I mostly shave with a Wolfman these days and love their handles.
For any other head, My favorite handle is Weber Razor’s stainless Wave at 3 1/8 inches. I left one original and high-polished another.

As much as I like how the Timeless Ti Crown handles look.. and how well they work with most of my razors... the Wolfman Darwin handle might be the nicest looking of them all.
I was on the Wolfman list to buy one.... but ended up buying a couple razors instead. But that just gives me something for which to look forward. I'll own one, one day, I'm sure. A work of art..... and it makes the unobtainable available to most of us.

Of these, from L to R (RR: barberpole, bulldog, DH, and Maggard's MR18), my current favorite is the HD.
Timeless Ti Crown on everything 
More a formula kinda guy but love anything cars
love seeing others car passion
drag story for ya
I had some friends in school whos dad was a big drag car guy
it was not really until later on did I realize who the guy was !
I remember the one accident we were in grade-school when their dad got burnt really bad and going to their house I still remember that so well
but he was just my friends dad who raced cars when we were young ! later in life like in High school getting more into cars did I realize he was a racing legend
Not sure your age or history but if you knew the name Herm Pertersen he was quite a drag car legend in the 60s-80s

I like the Barberpole, but I shortened mine a little and drilled it out to lighten it up.
I ran my 1961 Metropolitan and 1965 Mustang at OCIR, Wednesday night Run-What-You-Brung $1 jackpot races, $5 to match your Dial-In, starting around 1972.
I could never get the Metro to hook-up and smoked the four and a half inch wide back tires most of the way but hit over 90mph with a built twin carb 1500cc 4 cylinder. The 65 Mustang usually ran 14:70's around 98mph with a mostly stock 4 barrel 289 V8.
I got a runner-up at OCIR once with the 65 Mustang, after 9 rounds of competition, there were over 300 cars entered and got around $100 in cash and contingencies, but I used to match my Dial-In at least once a night and get back my entry fee of $4.75.
The big cars all used to come out Wednesday nights and test before the WinterNationals, it was quite the show for a few bucks.
Yep, I remember Herm.

I did make a couple of runs just before the County (OCIR) closed in 1983 with the 67 'stang, in full boat towing trim, as I was into water-skiing at the time. I still have the ET Slips, both 14:39's, one at 94.83mph, and the other at 95.74mph.
Really beautiful handles.
Is any of them still somewhere available to buy?

Hi Miracle,
These are custom made, so unfortunately you won't find them anywhere. If you want, I can ask if the guy is willing to take on international requests.
If you want to support local, @Rosseforp also makes great custom handles, Shavemac will make similar ones to mine (resin) if you ask, and I'd suspect any brush maker can take this up if they wanted. The resin is Alumilite, which I understand a lot of brush makers are also using.
It takes a bit of correspondence and batch by batch dial-ins, but I find the correspondence more enlightening than just buying something off the rack.
Hi,
thanks, I will check the locals you mentioned.
After years of follow the leader, the competition in F1 has certainly been interesting this year with the Flying Dutchman leading the way!

The cheap Lemonwald stainless steel handle (shape looks identical to the handle of the Rockwell 6C, has an M5 thread).
It has perfect knurling, even wet and soapy hands wont get it to slide and the grip is not "biting" too much.
I bought it on Aliexpress ...

What are those handles? I've never seen them before, or at least I have no memory.
