My iKon Bulldog handle (the polished, 80mm version) is definitely one of my favourites, but I'm starting to prefer my stainless steel Karve Christopher Bradley handle for the simple reason that it's shorter. I prefer handles that are roughly 75mm/3" long because it improves the manoeuvrability of the razor in my opinion.

I just realized that I have another favorite that is right up there with my Ikon Bulldog 85mm. I have a Razorock Barber Pole handle that is also 85mm and I really love it. I haven't used it in a while because I have an Old Type sitting on it. I'm going to have to rotate the New Deluxe on all three handles and see which one feels the best in my hand and during my shaves.
The three in all their glory.

Ah, now that you mention it, I have seen pictures of that one, and it’s immediately apparent that getting a good grip would not be an issue with that handle.
+1Mine would be the iKon OSS handle (95mm). Ideal length, grip, weight.

That sounds like a nice match. I like the look of the Karve handle. I just don't need another razor right now. And I'm eyeing a Razorock Gamechanger Open Comb with the HD handle. The Karve head just looks a little big for my liking. But the handle looks nice.
