Gillette Ball End Replica Handle - Universally Threaded Billet Brass Factory Nickel

SKU: BE-Replica

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.

    Awesome.

    I bought a vintage DE with a cracked handle and it looks like the two always belonged together.

    Handle

    I bought a Gillette Old Type razor that had a handle that was cracked. This replacement is just perfect - very high quality.
