Was using the old polished handle, found it slippery, put my matte handle on my polished head, was good. The polished Crown is light years ahead of the old polished one. Grippy, the narrower part toward the top is way better too. The razor now just “dances” around my face while shaving. Very comfortable, very maneuverable, and no slippage
Timeless Crown Titanium Handle
- Thread starter uptown
- Start date
My Crown finally arrived. Timeless really is probably the best company in the DE razor business. They just know how to do it right. Very impressive. Paired with my Ti .95 SB with smooth cap (polished), it gives my Wolfman WR2 a run for its money for the title of #1 in my den.
High praise, indeed!
Mine came today it does take the razor to another level esthetically, like the extra 5mm.

Looks fantastic!
Anyone know if/when the handle is available via Maggards?
It's not listed with the Timeless items they have listed so I would doubt they have any yet.
I was curious as well and wrote to maggards and this is their reply :
"Yes but it will be a few weeks - we're adding it to our next Timeless order."
Actually asking them, a concept that eluded me
Thank you Sir, i'll wait for that to happen then
Love the looks of this new handle, especially compared to the original, and seriously considering getting the Ti version. I love the feel of the Blackland Vector handle. Can anyone compare the two?? I believe the Timeless Titanium THR8 Crown weighs slightly less. How does the thickness of the handles compare?
I just acquired both the Timeless Crown handle and Blackland Vector razor. I'm not able to measure/compare them side by side at the moment, but the Vector handle is certainly narrower. I think it would be too narrow for my tastes if paired with a DE head, but its perfect for the minimal Vector SE, where anything thicker would feel wrong, sorta like stirring your coffee with a soup spoon.
The Crown handle is stout, though lightweight. I've currently got it on my Hawk SE, but not sure what it's ultimate pairing will be. (I don't currently own any other hardware from Timeless).

I have enjoyed the new Crown handle so much I just sold the original Ti handle as I knew it would just sit in the drawer.
I just bought the exact same set up this morning!
Ti .95 Scalloped Top and plate with the new Crown handle! CANT WAIT !!Thank you so much for sharing your obvious knowledge on this topic! I learned something today!I’m afraid that I will have to disagree with your statement.
It does not play a role whether
a pattern was knurled or milled ,regarding the resulting amount of grip.
Milled patterns can surpass knurled patterns ,regarding the
amount of grip.
Knurling is done with a special tool ,usually having two HSS wheels with opposing patterns .
Much like this one :

Knurling does not remove material from the workpiece ,
but rather displaces material.
This means that the diameter of a knurled rod will be larger than the initial diameter the rod had before knurling.So knurling will
dimensionally alter the workpiece.And of course,it is
a far easier and quicker way to
produce a grip pattern than milling the same pattern.
Milling a grip pattern will not
alter the diameter of the workpiece,
while has higher precision
and lower tolerances ,
than knurling.
But it is more time ,tool and energy consuming by far versus
knurling.
The amount of grip is determined by the pattern itself,
the depth of knurling/milling,
the density /size of the patterns
and the possible finish applied
(like sand blasting,polishing,acid etching ,etc ).
Lastly,knurling can produce only
few patterns ( diamond,crossed spiral aka barberpole,plain spiral and few more,
whereas milling can produce whatever the human imagination can come up with .
Those are the main differences,
between knurling a grip pattern
vs milling a grip pattern .
Is in stock since yesterday - immediately ordered one!
Got one for my GC .84-P. Came in at 42g. Can't wait to try it out. Maybe tomorrow or the next day.
I've tried a bunch of handles and I like this one the best by far!
Very nice. Especially considering how ugly their first ti handle was.
