    I recently purchased a used ATT R1 razor. I was planning at some point to order the barber pole handle for it from ATT. I was browsing the Timeless Razor site and they offer a barber pole handle, and it is heavier than the one that ATT offers. I was wondering if the Timeless handle would fit the ATT razor.

    Many are interchangeable, a few aren't. So honestly, a correct answer would be maybe. Sorry, i didn't help much.

    Most razor manufacturers use M5 threading. I'll try to see what I can find out.

    Edit: other handles fit on the timeless razors, including BRW (bob's razor works) and windrose. Both are made to work on gillette three piece razors, so I'm pretty sure timeless handles will work on ATT razor heads as well. ATT razors are universal compatible as well.

    That's good news, brother. Thank you. I'm going to order one after I receive the ATT.

    Doublechecked and ATT handles fit: (according to their website) Weber, Tradede OC, Goodfella, Edwin Jagger, Muhle, Gillette Old Type and Tech heads.

    Which is industry standard, I wish razor companies were a bit more up front about what threading they use. So timeless handles should fit ATT heads and vice versa.

    You are the man! This is my first "high end" razor.

    +1^^^. I wouldn’t worry at all.

    I have owned several ATT razors, and interchanged all sorts of handles back and forth. They are very much standard.
