Does anybody know if a Karve Christopher Bradley handle will fit a Yates 921 head?

I can say both of their websites claim their heads and handles are 10/32”, but only have one Karve and no Yates razor.

Been thinking of ordering a Karve brass handle for my Yates since Karve has multiple styles and Yates only has different lengths.
I had the original 4” stainless steel Yates handle and didn’t like it.

Purely based on website information Karve should fit Yates as they both are 10/32” (I don’t have a Yates to confirm - edit: and I see I am echoing Thom @thombrogan ) - if you have one available you could try a fat handle from a Tech - these are somewhere between 10/32” and M5 - and might give you an approximation of what you are looking for.
The threading of the Karve handle basically does fit, but the handle won't lock in properly due to the narrow width of the "rails" on the YPM baseplate.
IIRC there's a thread on B&B covering matching handles for the YPM head.
Edit: Found it.
Handles Compatible with Yates 921 Razor
I thought I would start a thread for people to post what non-Yates handles they have found to work with the Yates 921 top caps and plates. I have seen handles scattered across multiple threads and thought it would be handy to have that information in one dedicated thread.

I think my current stable of razors ranks like this:
SS Blackbird
Yates
Nodachi
Lupo
I’ve got a few others (Slim, Gem Clog Pruf, Schick Krona, Henson), but these are my top four.
Probably going to thin the herd soon (or at least try to).

I was just on the Timeless website. You can get a scratch and dent bronze with both the SB and OC baseplates for $5 more than the brand new SB razor by itself.
I may need this in my life.

I just ordered some Proraso Red cream in a tube. I was going to order some Cyril R Salter but couldn’t find it without a high shipping price ($15 for the shave cream and $10 for shipping, as opposed to $10 and free shipping for the Proraso).
Maybe next time I’ll get the Salter along with some blades or something to help me justify shipping.

Does anyone have any experience with this razor? Found it on AE.

It’s a brass AC razor by Shield, that’s all I know.
Is it from AliExpress?

I thought I saw someone post about the AC version but it was the GEM-style one they posted.

I went to order it and a synthetic brush last night and it was sold out.
That happens, hang tight and it may come back in stock. I used AliExpress for many of my fountain pens, and the stock levels fluctuate at times.

It’s probably for the best. I had $250 in “mad money” coming up this payday but blew it on two pairs of comfortable shoes from a local store (I have knee issues and the Merrell shoes I’ve been wearing were not good for me). If I had ordered the razor and brush, there probably would’ve been an argument.
