    What is the cheapest razor you know with a decent aluminum handle? I do not care at all about the head, all I want is aluminum handles. So far I have been buying Saiver razors just to get their handles.

    For modern that I would opine is about as cheap as you will get for aluminum razors. For vintage look for no name 3pc piece razors that look different from a standard brass type 3pc. They are usually pretty easy to spot by the finish when they are aluminum. Collectors tend to turn their nose up to those so they do come cheap in a lot of cases.

    Razorock Lupo is a nice looking razor with all aluminum head and handle and if using US dollars it becomes very inexpensive IMO.

    Ditto on the Gillette Tech. Aluminum handled ones are distinctive, due to the tartan-like knurl on the handles.
