I may be wrong but the shape looks similar to a Stork handle. They appear to be out of Belarus. I'm not up to date so I'm not sure whether still around but they look to have some nice designs.

Probably sacrilegious to say this, but I find Charcoal Goods' handles to be more attractive than their shaving heads.
This is only in the highly superficial looks department.
Wish they made some of them in SS.

They do. The "Bishop" is SS, on sale, and in the ready to ship section. They've had limited runs of SS in the past...
I agree 100%. They are works of art; maybe it's too expensive to machine?
Now that I'm sitting on one, with no head to match it up with, I wonder what I was smoking. Is lovely though. Just beautiful when I bother to open my drawer to look at it.
You could always grab an extra Fendrihan head for $16 to put on it...
It's a fair point. On the upside, if you don't like it, Shane will take it back and it only cost you shipping one way.
And if it helps, I have a ATT Windsor H with a polished SS top cap and polished copper base plate on a matte Ti TiBam handle... And I think it looks bada**
Looks short and beefy. Is that accurate? I like long and beefy handles. Grip looks nice. I know Maggards makes nice handles at a great price.
Great price, not short, just picture angle. The short version is the MR3.
Most handles also look small with that gigantic SBS head in pictures also.

Forgot to mention that the SBS with the MR8 will give you over a 300 gram shaving experience. I love it. Probably could also be used for self defense if someone breaks into your house.
Get a Yintal bronze. The handle is solid brass, weighs 80g and is 100mm x 12mm. You may find 80g close enough. The Yintal parts - top cap and base plate - also fit on the Rockwell 6C so you can mix and match. The top cap is solid, looks like brass and weighs 16g to the Rockwell 13g.
I happen to like the Yaqi matte black handle myself. That's 66g, 91 x 12mm
You got me interested. Appears to be almost as long as the Ikon OSS and quite a bit heavier. 148 grams versus 80 for the OSS.
Is this the Yintal bronze you're referring to? Price is certainly right. Does not appear that one can buy the handle without the head. So what's the razor like? I tend to like very aggressive razors.
Yes, that's the one. The razor is at least medium efficient, not mild. I make it around 0.89mm gap. I know the handle is solid brass because I shortened it and rounded off the end in my drill press.
