SE Handles - Ever-ready & Gem

[Bushranger]

Presently I only have a 1912ER with chain-link pattern handle. Does anyone have a 'compendium' or easy source to view the other types of SE handles?

Why do I ask? Two reasons. To see how they look, but also to determine how they wield with the different handles be they longer, thicker, heavier and how the shave and it's ergonomic application changes as a result. I understand many vouch for the fat long handled GEM Junior.

As good as the 1912ER is, I find the handle a little too short for me, and I'm the usual lighter frame 177cm (5'11').

Everyone knows Bob (the cooncat variety) does stirling and diverse work in wood, metal, synthetic on DE razors. Most recently noted the Mastiff handle.

I am very curious to know. I hope the SE Afficionados and Toolers/Crafstmen come to the fore

I've ordered a SE handle from Bob, now I'm just waiting to get to the top of his list.

Here's a shot of the various handles I have. I took the heads off to focus on the detail of each handle. These happen to all be Gems, but I have both the long and short chain link handles with ER heads as well.

I'm sure this is far from complete, but it gave me an excuse to get a few more pics of some razors.
A Cooncat custom SE handle is a great idea! Something I'll have to think about.

thank you Andy, great thoughtful shot. The handle I have (as you know) is first on the left. I think the second from the left is a better length for me in that design.

TS, I'm interested in learning what type style of handle you will get. EJ razor type handle, metal, synthetic (some beautiful pen blanks out there) wood?

Andy, great photo, that was very gracious of you.

Great handle pics, MrGuy -- here's some more. British made ER handle on left, US version on right. The Brit is a tad shorter and has more pronounced edges which makes for a better grip.

Nice comparison of the US and Brit versions. Thanks for adding a couple of quality shots.
Anyone else have a different handle?

 

[Bushranger]

Thank you. The handles I have on my Gem and ER 1912s are both British. Nice to learn the cross atlantic differences were not just limited to Gillette

What was the design?

Got to bump this up as it's great to see the different handles made by Gem side by side...
