Gillette Ball End Replica Handle - Universally Threaded Billet Brass Factory Nickel

SKU: BE-Replica

Description

Introducing a new product fro Razor Emporium, one that has been much needed in the world of vintage wet-shaving. Gillette Ball End handles found on Old Type, New Improved, and NEW era razors are seen frequently with cracks. Most handles feature at least a hairline crack, and some are split completely in half. This flaw is the result of a pressfitting technique which in combination with poor metallurgy resulted in weak handles and unusable razors.

Our handles are made from billet high quality brass and we have corrected the cracks by threading the neck and ball into the handle rather than press-fitting. The threads have been thread-locked so they will never come loose and will never crack. A beautiful Ball End handle can accompany most safety razor heads including Ikon, Edwin Jagger, Above the Tie, and etc. These handles are a great find, add one to your cart now.

    Nicely weighted, compact handle

    This aftermarket razor handle is a little on the short side, but nicely weighted and well knurled. Mine hosts a Razorock Game changer in a travel kit, and it's perfect. More compact than many of the machined aftermarket handles I have purchased from Razorock and elsewhere. Feels like an upgrade.

    The handle I have always wanted for my Travel Tech

    I’m sure it’s a common story: You have a Travel Tech. You wish it had a properly-sized handle with the travel handle’s DNA. You don’t want to cannibalize another vintage razor to get an original. What is man to do? Order this. Marvel at how it somehow looks every bit as vintage as your (1970, in my case) travel Tech head. Shave. Go “ahhhhhh.”

    Ball End Handle

    Excellent remake of a classic ball end handle. It’s nice having a lifetime handle that won’t crack. Excellent craftsmanship!

    Gillette ball end handle

    This replacement is great, it replaced the original one because the threads had stiped and wouldn't keep the blade on tight. If you're looking for a great replacement don't look any more just make the purchase. It works just like the original and probably better.
