Is the Feather AS-D1 handle compatible with ATT base plate/caps?
Feather AS-D1 handle on ATT head?

Yes the thread pitch is the same on nearly all 3 piece razors

I thought I read the Feather AS-d2 is threaded differently?
The standard and metric thread pitches used on modern 3 piece razors are close enough that they are interchangeable. The older Gillettes (eg - Tech) are not, however.
I just put my ATT M1 on my AS-D1 handle.
Perfect fit.

Great news. Thanks for the help.
Is this still true for AS D2?

ASD2 is also metric M5 x 0.8 thread.
Suitable for most handles. Including ATT handle.
It should be noted that some American and Canadian brands, such as karve and rockwell, still use 10/32thread.
10/32 is slightly smaller than M5, so the M5 handle can also be used to fit the 10/32 head, but it is slightly loose; the combination of the 10/32 handle and the M5 head may be too tight, and it must be carefully tried or even avoided to avoid damaging the thread.
There is also weird fatip, which is different from anyone's thread, and it is difficult to freely change the handle.

Single edge versions too?
As ERS4 said above, the AS-D2 will work with most handles.
I've used other handles on my AS-D2, but I always end up going back to the original handle since it just seems to feel the best balanced that way. It's fun to experiment, though.

It has nothing to do with DE/SE, but depends on the manufacturer.
For example, Razorock's GameChanger(DE)/Hawk(SE) or Wolfman's wr2(DE)/wr3(SE) can be exchanged handles.
