Hey, everyone: I have a Tech with a ball end handle. I'd like a heavier, thicker and longer handle for it, which rules out the "Fat Handle" variety of Tech handle. Buying another razor to get the handle is OK. Any suggestions?
Lots of places to get handles. But I got good deals at Ebay from sellers with listings for complete razors.
OK, thanks! I thought I saw that mentioned here a time or two but Search didn't find the postings. Poring over eBay listings now...
just a couple of ideas.......... https://www.ebay.com/itm/114816778186?_trkparms=amclksrc=ITM&aid=1110006&algo=HOMESPLICE.SIM&ao=1&asc=241918&meid=0db0a6aa9fd84b1fa705291bccc0ff5b&pid=101195&rk=2&rkt=12&sd=394242021310&itm=114816778186&pmt=1&noa=0&pg=2047675&algv=SimplAMLv11WebTrimmedV3MskuAspectsV202110NoVariantSeedKnnRecallV1&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851&amdata=cksum:1148167781860db0a6aa9fd84b1fa705291bccc0ff5b|enc:AQAHAAABIMFr2e4EmAnM%2ByHZkULYKDIJ4L66fOjNL0iupgt%2BzO1%2F3AE1t3mNirUYB96NktMCicMagiS6mbeTl0xquGODv9nsv7WiRBebJ1Zz7Y57D1YySNgsDFTbwZ60jZK5cosIozIKTEy%2FhJLbi0sLgxKK838%2FnzZHHfSALfOSL8mRlmB%2B2uI8p6wcmCtbkp4S0Gry8WH5Tf5c4Y5LmUAtladmkikcFjyQEeK%2FNPR6dxQA592KYtqjnryzD4MdvTROb0W4dxYKZE9cWgKG2U87%2B7qkiDicB2YUFf1W9xND5WcdAZ5XNFwI9kNR8btBXGxPNrUEd1icrDq6mrBkHanaufVwAZ73qJJE0fcbDpCPVhBeW3nooof3LPVXXxz3%2FmD49fzKfA%3D%3D|ampidL_CLK|clp:2047675 https://www.ebay.com/itm/115390941425?hash=item1addd608f1:g:l9gAAOSwCHdih6Vm&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAA8PD1Sb7m6UKxWHGmw3QjtZBlWrzHv1O+oMD7IOxBGjDSNnOmJRN9myvs5hH7JdTm1lQNkmFd+Vn8LHuTypWT2oiMCH4Kwu/yLkDOgBLP+KGSgvKMyLvoMUp4eR5TDCg0eC2n/4P/xbsj8Ncae2sruU1XGVcdfiO7LiPNxs2zR4YFnWKu8ULewCAKUEp57BHVAc5wbUUjuAJmJDvSS+U0YswD2UmlNG/GJNjymt8X0uvjJbVJZQH2NiWYjmGXyiIssQJGx2KfixOp5cAmg3i0yVufqHF+VaVSU2nvn7tq6tsdvPx84y+fDSLr6GtxAoQo3g==|tkp:Bk9SR6KrzpPuYA
Thanks for the suggestion...I ordered the handle linked above! If it makes my Tech handle more like my Slims, I'll be a happy camper indeed. I've cut myself more than once by losing my grip on the Ball End handle.
if you like the fat handle and want a heavier option,look for a 1950 french tech fat handle.hollow 1 piece,hole in the lower end,but thick wall and heavier..
The Stando King handle fits your description. I just swapped out the handle on my ball end Tech and it worked.
My Dishi 3-tier Stainless handle from eBay seller techichi_shave arrived today and, wow, what a difference! Even though I don't have large hands, the heftier handle really adds a new dimension of precision and handling ease to the Tech. It actually feels...luxurious. The Tech with Dishi handle is in the centre here, with a '40s-style Super Speed at left and a Slim Adjustable to the right.
