For todays shave I decided to use a 1924, with a blade on 7th outing. Decided as a trial and for fun, to replace the standard handle,for one from ER 1912 Bathroom set, very light [ looks like Handle from Streamline ] The combination looked great [ sorry cannot do photos yet ], but was very light.
The !924 with this handle was easy to use, and i achieved a DFS with no irritation or danger of nicks, even on 7th use of blade.

Excellent!
Yes, sometimes the handle makes a huge difference.

No argument here. In addition to using other SE handles, the 1924 has a standard 10-32 thread, which means that modern DE handles can be used with the addition of a setscrew. Above is my 1924 mated with a Maggard Razors MR3 Stainless Steel handle, which is rapidly becoming one of my favorite razors. --Bob

I see you have a 1924 with a "pillar base" ... one of my favourite franken-combinations is the Gillette bakelite handle from their contract Tech on the pillar base 1924. It fits just perfectly and, to me, looks a better Contact razor than the GEM Junior with slim bakelite handle. It doesn't quite look right on a 1912, though, but I do have a nice slim and simple knurled handle from a Valet VC1 which I think looks and feels superb on a 1912.
