"Luxury" Mach 3 handles

I have one I bought from Big River that carries the Edwin Jagger name:



It works well, feels good in my hand. I just was thinking I could do better.

But whenever I look it seems like all of the handles are made by the same 2 companies with celebrity names applied. I see the same shapes available at each site, the only thing different is the name and maybe the price tag.

Does anyone know of a source with a better selection?

There are quite a few artisan handles on Etsy.

I think this thread needs to move to the Single Edge razors subforum?

Hey, great idea! Thanks, I hadn't thought of that! Cheers!

I have an êShave, but the handles on Etsy are very good. There is a trend for using shell cases but these look good too.

Sabre, yours was a great idea! Thanks!

i now have this incoming:

so other than 'looks cooler' how do these change the shave?

Not a bit. Just looks better, but you might find a handle that suits your hand better.

That is very nice. I was looking at it but decided to go with the Edwin Jagger instead. They look very similar.

I actually really like the stock handle with the rubber grips. I'm weird like that, but the one you got with the marble-like handle does look pretty cool.

Thanks! That is an awesome site!

Unfortunately, to me it is still an M3 (which I use when traveling due to TSA rules). Obviously YMMV.

I don't use a cart, but if I did...

here's mine

My wife uses the Mach 3 to the exclusion of anything else. I bought her one of the Edwin Jagger handles as a Christmas present last year. I bought one for myself to use when I can't use a DE, but haven't tried it yet.

That Arlington kit if really nice.
