If you have any unmentionables lying around - does the screw on their head fit or almost fit? No, tried that and it is a much larger thread. Worth a try though.

Since the wife is away I have been sorting and cleaning my razors so I thought I would post a pic of the ERs, which is my largest and probably best catagory. If anyone Knows where to find a handle for the 1909 head let me know, it requires a much larger thread than any of my other SEs Take that head with you to the hardware store or nut and bolt store and see if you can't find something to fit. Those old razors often had proprietary threads. I will have to try that. Unfortunately one big chain has all the business round here so it's all pre packed (and metric) but if Tom gets a measurement from his it will narrow the field a bit. I guess if it's imperial and/or proprietary even if the size is right the thread might not work

Beautiful!!! That Lather Catcher in the center of the pic in the case is among my favorite razors. As for the handle... twhite can probably come up with a thread size and such and I bet jayaruh could make a handle. It would be wood.. but I love the handles he has made for me. Thanks, that 1913ish is a lovely razor, great shave and really nice handle. I have seen some of jayaruhs handles and they are very impessive. Failing that, if I can get the thread size maybe there is a razor with the same thread. They are hard to find, I spotted this head in a junk lot from France, some time ago, with the stropper and thought I would just swap the handle to the 1909, that didn't work out . I have been looking out for the Auto-Strop A1 but they are pretty elusive, I have a B1 on the way, I guess that will have to do. I just got a B1 myself last week. That's now my oldest Autostrop

There is no rush for the measurements, when you get a chance will be fine. Well remembered! I took a look at the thread and you are quite right. Even though he hasn't posted for a year I will PM him and see what happens. I'll give it a while before trying him on B&B. It would be great if it worked out, although The post is from 2014. Thanks for the help.
