Just what I was about to say.Buy a cheap tap and die set and recut the thread. That should help and it'll be cheaper
The Muhle R89 head has a brass screw post as opposed to the usual Zamak found on the EJ and others. The Merkur closed comb also has a brass post. I appreciate brass is still a relatively soft metal compared to stainless but it’ll wear a whole lot better than Zamak and is much more corrosion resistance.Hi all, I'm looking for replacement De shaver head again and wondered if anyone can recommend suppliers?
It's due to the usual thread wearing out screwing the handles off and on changing the blades.
I don't think there's any solution to this problem but have found in the past buying the heads was almost as expensive as buying the complete razor?
Thanks again.

Thanks guys, I'll look into the brass screw heads but I'll maybe try the tap and die idea too, nothing lost if it doesn't work.

That said, I love the idea of cutting a new thread with tap and die set. Proper is that.
Vintage, any of the Gillette New razors would be a good choice without spending much, and the shave is perfect.Any recommendations for a brass razor TobyC?
