Thread: What handle do you have on your Iwasaki style razor ?

So i am curious as to what kind or style handle you have put on your Iwasaki style razor?

Also, where you got it or if you made it?

I finally have one in route with a naked handle and am debating what to put on it if I do. Curious as to what others here have. PICS are always welcome

Thanks !

your the one who beat me on that razor *(glare)....

I added a pic.. which will either start trouble or end it lol.

Mine has the Bamboo, but I swear the next one I get. I am going to do the Braided SS wire like I saw Spazola do on one of his customs Looked awesome...

you can get a Tosuke rubber grip it is easy to install and I think not too expensive may be ~20 bucks.

I saw the blue rubber one and it just did not inspire me. A custom like Glen mentioned sounds nice.

I have read people using parachute cord, leather strap, bamboo, twine etc...

I have a new Iwasaki, and I really like the look of it naked with just the blackened spine and handle. I also find it to be nice and grippy, and I don't have to worry about water getting trapped anywhere. Love it as is.

Yep, my Iwasaki is naked. That's the way it's supposed to be.

I have two Iwasakis, but no handles. About the only wrap I would be interested in would be a traditional (I think its traditional?) pattern in rattan. For a while I toyed around with the idea of a stingray wrap but never followed through.

found this on the bay ...
