Bull Mastif Deluxe with a Tech head thread question?

[waynejitsu]

I will be getting a Bull Mastif Deluxe with a Tech head.
Does anyone know what other heads will work with this?
I "thought" it was a different head, but too late.
Anyhow, I wanted to know if anyone knew what else would work.
Are all the threads the same?
Are all the threads different?
Thanks for any info

Gillette NEW types have the same threads.

Gillette NEW types have the same threads.

What is New type?
I am guessing there is also an Old type??
How can I tell them apart?
What is on it is a Tech, just a guess- 1960?

This should help you some.

I've used a tech head as well as a merkur head on my bull mastiff with no problems. I don't recall the thread sizes off the top of my head though.

Did you ask Bob?

He seems like a real cool guy. I'm sure he'd clear up the facts.

So, both use the same threads?
That would be GREAT!!
Thanks

Here is a picture of some of the different Gillette Open Comb heads, all should fit your BM handle:

If you sent me a e-mail it got lost in cyber space.
All the Gillette 3 piece razors use the same #10-32 threads.
Merkur threads seem to be in-between #10-32 and the metric M5 x 0.8 that Muhle and EJ use.
The Metric M5 x 0.8 has the same thread pitch (threads per inch) as the #10-32 but is slightly larger.
Most vintage Gillette's have male threads that are worn under size and female threads that are worn over size.
I'll enlarge the threads on my handles with the metric tap upon request.
