Timeless Ti Crown handle with Yates 921 plates?

[HHumbert]

I´m looking into upgrading my shaving kit (had an Edwin Jagger for years, the head broke after I dropped it in the sink), and seem to have settled on a Ti Yates 921 until I saw the Timeless Crown handle, and now I would like to match them.

From what I´ve been able to gather, the Yates head has an 10-32 thread vs a M5 on the Timeless, which might fit, and there might be a problem with the width of the handle top. Is there a community opinion on this? Thanks!

Call Matt at Timeless on Monday, sure he knows about comparability of male to female threads.

Timeless crown handle will not fit the Yates 921. Not a thread issue. The neck of the handle that screws onto the post is too wide to fit in the Yates baseplate slot

There is a hole in the baseplate around the threads where the handle screws in, this requires a rather narrow end of the handle. The Ti Crown is flaring. The Blackbird plates have the same/similar design, so you can check which handle people managed to get in there to find a handle that is likely also fitting your Yates 921. There are some threads about it.

Regarding: 10/32 vs M5. The fit isn't perfect, but it close enough to work.
