The standard Muhle R89 handle is amazing.
Smooth yet very grippy and easy to clean.

Timeless Ti Crown is my favorite, the DS Cosmetic titanium destroyer handle second favorite.
Comfor with old hand ='s two thing to me, size I can grip with easy, and also surface that will not slip wet. Most Vintage
Gillettes do good in size, but could be bigger. Grippyness is good, and not over kill like REX that is like 40 Grit Sandpaper overkill.

I'm a big fan of the handle on the Yates 'Merica razor.

I have several favourites. I lately picked up a Timeless Ti Crown, and it's a very nice handle. The old ATT Kronos handle is up on my list because it's knurled and has a very simple shape. It works. I like RazoRock's regular UFO handle; good knurling and heft and fits my hands well. The West Coast Shaving 84S handle makes any razor look like George Jetson's 
but it is great for those of us who occasionally need a handle that makes holding on easier.
I can appreciate a barber pole handle but I don't personally like using them. My experience has been with wet hands they tend to "screw down" or slip in my hands as I try to grip them. The "threads" cut for the barber pole design create a path of least resistance. Gripping harder to hold the razor affects the ability to move the wrist to accommodate shaving conditions.
O.H.

For me it is the Timeless Crown handle
Because threads are worthless without pics
OK... you win:
The only change is the middle razor, the RR SuperSlant L1++OC was downgraded until I try a Kai blade in it... and I now have the La Faulx Classic in stainless steel atop that Ti Crown.

I never noticed before but the overlander handle shares some features with the g tech handle. It is like there would be a third part on the overlander and 2 on the g tech.

The Ti Timeless Crown is indeed a very nice handle. It takes a shave or two to get used to it, but after that it might replace most of the handles in your razor collection.
I just have to get a Timeless Ti SPIRAL handle after all the well deserved love for the Crown handle. I have it already as Bronze version for the .78 OC, it is very nice, in Titanium it is basically the same with less weight. They don't make Spiral or Crown handle in SS, and have no plants to do so, so Ti it shall be...
I don’t remember the model # but this is the short, thick handle from West Coast Shaving. Seen here with my Razorock SLOC head. Not for those who prefer all the weight in the head.
I love the long, grippy handle of the SuperAdjustable 109
With my arthritic thumbs, I really appreciate the very grippy handle on my Rex Envoy. 
And threads are worthless without names. What are these?
