Gillette Ball End Replica Handle - Universally Threaded

SKU: 4037

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.

    Razor Emporium History Lesson

    I came to you looking to date a razor and blades and I’ve been amazed. I’m still here an hour later. Fascinating info and so well presented with facts and charts. I can’t begin to thank you enough. I can now positively ID when the blade was made (2nd quarter of 1943) and can identify the razor in a range of 1939-1947. I am so very grateful. Was going to sell the razor.. now I am intrigued. Thank you so much.

    Excellent handle

    This is an excellent handle to accompany any razor head. I use it for the razor I take along on trips.

    Replica Ball End Handle

    This handle is great as it has threaded ends unlike the original push fit. Better knurling on the handle makes for a secure grip and I now have this as a spare. Thanks.

    Finally an appropriate brass handle for my Gillette Goodwill head

    A wee bit heavier than a "real" ball-end handle, but it still has a good balance. Also a bit coarser knurling, but that might just be an improvement. The head was severely pitted and scratched, but some fine sending and buffing compound made it a good match for the handle. I no longer have to steal the handle from my Gillette Long-comb New. Yay!
