Original handle on this vintage Merkur 41

I would really enjoy this handle if it wasn't rotting away. The plated brass head is more efficient than my equivalent recent-production 15C head.

Grippy ribbing, good length and taper, slight 'knob' at the bottom. An excellent design undermined by Zinc and Time.

Ti Crown that I borrowed from a friend. Was so eager to try it that I don't even recall which heads I used with it.

DSC AX Ti 1.55 on DSC Ti Pioneer handle

An all titanium razor/handle combination. Both are highly polished and the Pioneer handle has no knurling. Instead it has circular indents which allow the fingers to comfortably rest and provide grip that way. It's also a handle which is a bit wider at 14mm (iirc). It's a bit heavier than thinner titanium handles but it balances the very light weight of the AX Ti head out very nicely. It's a great handle in terms of looks and functionality.
