    I have tried an all metal aftermarket Gillette Sensor handle I got on Amazon. It is heavy and seems to smooth out the Sensor Cartridge, giving a smoother, closer shave. I am trying to identify other good aftermarket Sensor handles. The Parker mfg ones on Amazon get poor reviews. Ebay has nothing right now. Pils has several for 125-150 Euros which is more than I would like to spend. Can anyone reccommend a handle and suggest where to look?

    Thanks again Jimjo1031 again, I checked them out, one is the handle I got on Ebay that works well, the other, the less expensive one, I got several years ago, the sensor cart fits poorly, I would not reccommend that one

    It may not interest you but I'm pretty sure SuperMax makes one that is commonly sold at Big Lots (if there's one in your area). Highest quality? No, but functional.

    Thanks Dansco, checked the Muhle website, did not see one, but wrote them to see if any are available. Appreciate the suggestion.

    Sorry. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong cartridge razor.

    This one I think. Big Lots pretty much always has them. Good shaver.

    Thanks Jimjo1031 I also found ebarbershop is gone. After the Amazon Heavey weight metal handle for about $22.00, only Pils has a Sensor handle for $125 us dollars, I think. which is more than I want to pay. I guess the Sensor is too old and not popular enough to have current demand generate a supply. Oh well.

    Not completely closed. Read the whole statement on the main page.

    "Orders placed after August 15th will be filled with any inventory that remains after the 15th and on a first-come first serve basis"

    There is one on Ebay, but it's priced higher than a new one. I used to see them on there at times. Who knows, they could show up again.

    Thanks again everyone who replied. Can't seem to locate a handle that is wihtin my price range and construction preferences. the 22-23 dollar one on Amazon is working pretty well, so I guess I will stick with that, maybe get a second one as a backup.
