You know, Fuzzy, I'm kind of ashamed to admit it, but I haven't tried that Treet . . . I'll have to put that on my list. Regards, Tom
very very true...hahaha. ive never seen an ER one. youd think there would be one with the ones youve found.
Actually, they don't always interchange. Older Kampfes, Gems and ER's had 6-32 threads and the newer SE razors had 10-32. You will find ASR 1912's with both threads. I won't hang my hat on this, but I suspect the fat handled razors, being a newer style of 1912, all have the 10-32 thread . . . all of mine do but, statistically, that is a very small sampling. I haven't been able to pin down just what year this change happened. Regards, Tom
I hate it that we can not pin down some of these things better. But they were such a good product that was made for a long long time. Fuzzy
Sooner or later we may be able to narrow this down better, but as of now, all evidence points to ASR making the change from the "traditional" 6-32 thread, which I suspect was carried over from the Kampfe days, to the more robust 10-32 thread somewhere between 1914 and 1918. Point of interest . . . Of course the gender is opposite, but the 10-32 is the same size thread that Gillette and most other DE razors use. You know, Fuzzy, these little mysterys wouldn't be half as much fun if they could be solved too easily. Regards, Tom
