I have several handles I would like heads for. Any ideas where to look for just heads? Thx.

Razor heads?

If you want to purchase new, I believe the only options are the R41 and R89., ATT and Ikon Slant if you can find, which I highly doubt, and other Ikon heads.
Used, well ... everything else.

Most Gillette Old Types and The New need new handles so buy one of those (I have some that are like that). You can buy just the head for a Muhle R41 from the UK.

Thx, I have an R41. I bought a Matador and put a Bulldog on it recently.
You could throw up a WTB in the BST and see if you get any bites.
i bought the bottom plate for an open comb Merkur here last week
http://www.techichishave.com/all-products.html?dir=asc&limit=30&order=price
it is supposed to be good to go with my existing 180/23C top cap
can't vouch for the seller yet because i've not received a shipping notification since i bought on the 15th but they carry many Merkur parts
you could buy both open & closed bottom plates and a top cap to have 2 Merkur razors [23C & 25C] for your handles

They are where you find them.
I've put together a goodly collection of "free range heads" just by haunting the BST forum. You will have to refresh every 30 seconds if you want to beat me to one

Mick, I've been looking at this pic for months now and want you to know that this is what I've decided to do for my collection. I'm all about the free range heads/frankenrazors. Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration. Soon, I will be posting what my collection looks like. I just need to find the right box for storage/display.
Maggard has scratch/dent heads for $3. You have to try one for that price.
url?
Looking forward to seeing your collection, always enjoy seeing other collections to admire and get ideas from. Here is a picture of what I have been using:

Some of the pieces will look familiar to you
That replated NEW is going to look especially nice on my UFO Colibri when that comes in!Thanks!!!
Looks to be the same or similar head to the Sabi/Mariner. Very good head if it is.
I like the maggard head better than the sabi because it doesn't have the sharp corners like the sabi, IMO. Similar shave though. But look at their handles while you are there, too. They are pretty decent, especially for the price. Plated brass and works with most standard 3 piece razors.
