    It would be better with a brass or stainless head. Unfortunately I don’t have any at the moment.

    I am tinkering with an idea to make it adjustable balance along with length. The length can help some but it really needs to adjust the balance also.

    would a heavy handle end work with the head and movable handle part weighing the same as said plug?kind of like a see saw?the lock nut being the center weight..

    Well, that doesn't surprise me, Tom. Is there anything ACME doesn't make?

    And it even looks like a Lady Gillette handle too. :p

    Edit: there's nothing wrong with Lady Gillettes. I have a cased example with blades and instructions. My wife takes very good care of it. :)

    Tom, that looks fantastic! I like the design, looks and simplicity for the user.

    I’m curious... Does it adjust only to the shortest and longest lengths, or does it lock into anything in between?

    Anywhere in between. I like to keep things simple if I can. Less to go wrong and easier to make:D

    Very nice telescoping handle Tom, lots of interesting designs of razor products lately.

    This year I have been very inspired. I will take it when it comes. No telling when the inspiration will vanish.

    Jim. I made a second one today. Would you like to test it out? We could do a little pass around if anybody else wants to give it a go. This one I threaded 5mm so it should work on modern heads just fine.
    I will give it a polish before sending out.

    That looks like it was made for a Blackbird razor, as an 'alternative' handle. Very nice looking.
