Where oh where can I get a handle that weighs as much as the moon, but doesnt cost the Earth?

iKon? No. All the remaining stock is being sold off by ebay (where the last one went for $70).
Bobs Razor Works? No. An email today says that he isnt making any more.

So where?
:?
 
If I understand you correctly, there is an iKon handle currently at $51 on the Bay.

I thought you had several. What exactly are you looking for?

This is bad news. What happened to him?

He ran up debts selling his wares too cheaply, and had to dip into his savings. Now broke, he's moving back to his home town and starting again, but I think his razor making days are over...

Nice guy Bob, good workmanship too. My Bull Mastiff Deluxe is a cracking razor.

Sad story. I liked his work very much. Fantastic person too.
 
Got it today.
It was waiting for me when I got up after my night shift - thank you Kev.

Quite a nice handle - the same length and similar weight as the Nickel over Brass ball end, but with the thickness of the fat handle. Lashed to the tech head at the moment and I used it when I shaved this afternoon with rather pleasing results.

I dont know the history of this one, but its quite a nice piece.

When I get chance I will put some pictures up. :shave
