ATT Kronos; Timeless knurled; and RR Wunderbar are my favorites. For a handle on a TTO razor, the UK Aristocrat.

Aesthetically I agree however I always feel like the spiral knurling makes it want to turn in my hand. It doesn’t, but it feels like it wants to.

 

[Petronius]

I absolutely adore my UFO Grand Titan L. Have bigger hands and this handle fit me best of all ...

 

[Shaverrific666]

I have a few : ATT Colossus
Weber
Wolfman WRH1 and WRH2
Blackbird
Just for aesthetics Merkur 1904 41/42

I've just been handed over the below stainless steel handle.
It was made y'day from scratch by a 70yo machinist who lives nearby and has absolutely no relationship to wet shaving.
Took couple of hours to prepare. Today he made another one (w/o knurling), this one took less than a qtr. of an hour to complete.

I've been handed with the hard task to shave and provide feedback...
The two heads in my three pictures are both standard EJ solid bar DE heads.
The knurling is even better -by say 10-15%- than that of the iKon bulldog II shown on the left (first photo).

More as this project develops.

And this is v02 (w/o knurling) made today in less than 15':

Oh this is so my opinion and experience too. Nicely and precisely put. First time I’ve heard anyone share my sentiment. Sold off Atlas, kept Kronos. (Then sold off the whole ATT Kronos slant set I had, but that’s another matter.)
