Do you have tatara,Which ranking should you put it in?You are most welcome!
The Tatara is over the $75 to $125 price range of this thread, but I will offer you my opinion.Do you have tatara,Which ranking should you put it in?
I've managed to get a couple more razors in this price range to add.So this thread is over?
No way!
This has to keep going. I'm only by page 3 and I'm really enjoying it!

Stay tuned.
An M5 thread is only .09mm larger than a 10-32 thread and the pitch is almost identical. What this means is that a handle with an M5 thread will fit loosely on a cap with a 10-32 thread, and a handle with a 10-32 thread might fit a cap with a M5 thread, but snugly.
I have made most of my handles to where they will fit both an M5 cap and 10-32 cap, but I have made a few that will fit only a Fatip with it's M4.5 x .75 thread.

Not to worry Jim, the threads are Karve approved by me, and I liked the handle I made for you so much I made one for me too.This morning shaving with the Karve and its OC-A plate I realized I'd like the razor better with a fatter handle.

I was careful with the threads, but, to be really sure, searched for this information.
Doug, thanks for the beautiful handle and reliable thread information. Looks good, yes?
Happy shaves,
Jim

I had plenty of stubble left from last night's shave, so I whipped out my other New SC, loaded the Gillette Platinum (7) and had a nice single buffing pass, S-N shave. FTFY. :)www.badgerandblade.com
I've not yet tried the Overlander, but it is on my radar.David,
I'm not sure if you've tried the Karve Overlander. If you have, this thread would be the right place for a review and comparison.

Hi - Did you try contacting Chris at Karve? It may be worth a shot.Too bad you can't buy only the head.
At least in my view it's too bad. I don't love the Karve handles. Too skinny and/or too long.
Happy shaves,
Jim
Unfortunately, losing the handle makers in Russia there are not many avenues to explore if you want something custom made.Too bad you can't buy only the head.

The Timeless Ti handles are really nice and also reasonably priced.Unfortunately, losing the handle makers in Russia there are not many avenues to explore if you want something custom made.
I like the 3" Karve Brass handle.Too bad you can't buy only the head.
