As you know, most modern razor heads have a male (bolt) M5 screw thread and their handles a female (nut) counterpart. However most SE razors have the opposite, where the bolt is on the handle and the nut on the head.
In the past I've been able to attach a modern DE razor handle to an SE razor by simple using an M5 grub screw attached to the head then simply screwing on the DE handle as usual.
I've noticed that older SE razors have a narrower screw thread their handle, so it gets trickier. I don't know what this thread size is; maybe someone from this parish would know.
:idea: One option would be to retap the SE head to M5 thread and use a grub screw, but of course this means permanently changing the SE head and so no going back to the original handle.
:idea: Another option would be to create a grub screw with a M5 thread at one end and the narrower thread at the other. Is this possible to create :icon_question: Has anyone done this :icon_question:
I was thinking if it were possible to use a die to reduce the thread size on one half of a grub screw.
I'd be interested to hear your opinions or experiences with this.
Shave on, folks.
