Ball End Handle | Gillette Replica Shave

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.

Excellent handle!

This Gillette ball end replica handle is perfect and what I was looking for. The handle is hollow in the inside, which gives it a lighter weight and makes the razor a little more top heavy for a more maneuverable smooth perfect shave. Already purchased 2 and planning to purchase more.

Razor Handle

Very good razor handle almost like the original I got the plain brass handle only thing I had to do was the top cap with the threads that you screw onto the razor head came lose on me but it wasn't a big deal I just put some red loctite on threads it solved that problem other than that it's great.

Ball end handle replica

The fit, finish, and feel is not of the original. My '54 Gillette Tech has a solid brass handle, whereas the Razor Emporium replica is hollow. The replica has larger dimensions and different contours than the original. The threading on the replica is universal and fits well to other razor caps. It's good if you just need a lightweight handle, however not so good if you want the look and feel of an original ball end Gillette handle.
