All windrose handles are meant to be fine with this head... I've received mine today so will post some pictures of the head in top of my three handles and see if there are any others it is compatible with as well!

Ah gotcha. I'll be having a play soon. Will report back!I should probably clarify, that my problem isn't the length of the threads, it was that the threads were rough enough that several of my handles that work fine on other heads (including Shavecraft) didn't want to thread onto the El Jefe. I believe that is a more hit or miss problem, because not everyone has had the issue, but I have read of several other accounts besides mine.

Thanks buddy, the Z1 is definitely the better looking of the two, but the H3 is also lovelyWell, at least you found a couple of great looking options that worked for you. Both of those look great. I have a satin finished brass handle that I really thought would look good on mine, but it wouldn't thread. [emoji52]

The threads on these have finicky machining. People (myself included) have had trouble with certain handles not fitting. The threads on the post are very long, so your handle would need to be tapped deep enough to accept it. The rough threads on the post could also be cleaned up with a thread chaser.
That aside, it is an amazing shaver and well worth the firesale price. I definitely plan to buy another when the machining bugs are ironed out.
Mine on a MR5 style head:
That's good to know, as I'm planning to use the same handle if and when it arrives.
