Multiple Heads for EJ Chatsworth?

I have one double-edged razor: an Edwin Jagger Chatsworth Barley. Now, I know it uses a Muhle head--which seems like something common or at least not out of the ordinary. However, the handle on this razor is something special. What I am wondering is which heads will fit the Muhle threads? I love this handle so much, and maybe for the sake of simplicity (or previously latent thriftiness), I would like to purchase a different style of head to fit the beautiful handle.

Now, I am focusing on my straight razor skills and rad, so this is more of a quest to dip my foot in some different waters while saving money for other shaving goods.

I will say, that I am getting great shaves with the Muhle head + Feather blades. I can get irritation free BBS (if i let it grow for a couple of days). I suspect that once I go back to school, the ease of a DE will outweigh the straight edge on most days, as I can't get a BBS se shave yet.

Might even be cheaper to just buy some good vintage DE razors (any recs?)
 
Your Muhle head has metric threads but the thread pitch is the same as a #10-32 but it's slightly larger in daimeter.
Your handle should be able to screw onto Gillette heads, but your Muhle head might be slightly too large to screw onto a Gillette handle.
But many Gillette handle are worn over size.

Although not much of a variation from the Muhle head, I use the head off my Merkur 23c on the Chatsworth handle. I find the Muhle head a tad less aggressive than the Merkur head.
