Hello gents,
As we all like to mix and match different razors to different handles, what is your idea of a pleasing to the eye length for a handle excepting the shape?
I found YMMV and it will, for SE heads which are about the length of the blade i,e 50mm, the handle most pleasing to my eyes that brings balance to the head, has to be 95mm and for DE heads, 80mm.
What are your ideas about this? Overall balance of the razor function wise can be manipulated with using different weight handles.

I prefer longer handles with my SE razors -- the ATT Colossus with the SE2, and the Charcoal Goods Cross Spiral long copper handle for the black General. Both of these are 4" long and provide good balance for the razors in question.
When I'm not using one of these, I still use Feather AC Pro Super blades in a Feather or Kai kamisori-style straight razor, which also have handles that fit your hand nicely -- well, my hand, anyway.
