Standard Razor

Great minds think alike Shawn !

I did try removing the threaded post but it wasn't budging and I was concerned I may damage the threads as it was solid. I will tinker with it in the future as it would be nice to change handles- enjoy yours in good health!

Thanks for the pics too!

I have always been a nay-sayer to that phrase; if all greats minds thought alike, we'd never go further into the future technology wise IMO

Hrm, odd, here I thought they made them to it could come out so you could change things around? One thing I will say though, is that I am always careful since where the two sizes of thread meet is very thin and I'm scared that it will break if I do something stupid... which I'm prone to doing Still, the ability to add a long heavy handle is nice

Welcome

I had the Standard Razor, but never tried removing the stud to change handles. However, I was told by many that it can be done easily, but it would have required a tool in my case because I couldn't unscrew it with my fingers, but again, I wasn't looking to change it. I found that razor too aggressive on my neck area after 2 weeks of use so I sold it. It was a beautifully designed razor with a flawless build, but a lot lighter than I like.

You could always wrap a cloth around the threads and use pliers to unscrew it. That way the threads won't get damaged.

That might work, but as I said, the part where the two thread sizes come together is rather thin IMO, and if you twisted the pliers the wrong way with a little too much force it might snap the post

Agreed, and we're talking about aluminum here too, unless the stud is made from a different metal.

touche... But I did say alike and not the same for the distinction.

Ironically, at my place of employment members of staff typically get assigned incremental workstreams to sponsor. One of mine is Culture of Innovation for which I have rolled out supportive programs to increase lateral thinking capability, diversity in the workplace, crowdsourcing, intelligent risk etc.

Wish I could apply the same in the wet shaving world- would be a heck of a lot more fun and you and I could pilot!

As to the razor post, I don't think it aluminum and perhaps actually stainless but with female threads on the handle and head and it being seemingly delicate, I don't want to force it too much until I am ready to toss the razor. Mine is in the handle pretty tight.

Regardless, it would be interesting to experiment with other handles but not a deal killer. It is a fun little razor; plenty efficient as is and happy to have picked it up.
