Old lather catcher razors (for example Kampfe) are supposed to have had a 5⁄32″×24 Whitworth thread connecting head and handle:

Close inspection and the fact that they were made in the US give me doubts, but it is possible.

The German for "adjustable spanner" is "Engländer". A fact I was repeatedly reminded of by my DE buddies in banter when I was over there. Who said they don't have a sense of humour?! Stereotypes lie. Except maybe the one about British and dodgy spanners!
