I am a fan of 100mm handles. And handles that have some girth and heft: copper and brass are favored as well.

One of my favorite designs was the BBS-1. Impossible to find our afford. Most manufacturers make about 85mm. Tibam made a dupe BBS-1, but Putin took care of that pipeline/supply.

I snooped around Etsy and found a machinist from Canada that is quite talented with various metals; and has the skills to undertake the BBS-1 design. He has made razors for many folks, including titanium. I just sent photos measurements and he handled the rest. He made the stands as well!

Photos for my three razors he designed are attached. The artisan was responsive, communicative, and reasonably priced. I am definitely pleased with the product. His business information follows below in the images. If you want to make a unique bespoke razor handle highly recommend this individual.

I had one of his handles a while back, part of me wishes I’d kept it but the knurling wasn’t great. Yours look very nice…. I mostly remember looking at his page a couple times and always seeing more w€€d/smoking related products than shave gear Angel

Thank you! I like girth snd heft as well. This is why i just can't click with aluminum. It's just too light for me. I'm not familiar enough with those handles to appreciate the how accurate they are, but they are beautiful. I'm going to take a look.
