anyone mix the base of one shaver with another brand?

thinking of trying to use a parker base on a timeless handle and cap. will it work?

I don't know about the combination you're proposing, but I do mix and match bases and caps all the time. They don't always work. Only one way to find out if you have them quickly. Try and see.

If they thread together onto the handle easily and hold the blade securely, it's a success. Obvious ones that don't interchange are three post caps with slotted blade holder bases for example. Some pretty different brands and vintages of razors do work with the individual parts swapped around with other ones.

Seems to mean the handle more specifically.

Sorry, don't know.

I'm going to have to say definitely maybe.

I have been toying with the idea of adding a maggards slant head to my Edwin Jagger. Just haven’t pulled the trigger.

I don't usually do this, but I have been using a Weber DLC top-cap with a Karve Shaving Plate C bottom-plate for my head shaves and this combination seems to be working, beautifully, for me. I am not sure why, but I am greatly enjoying it.
However, it doesn't work for my face shaves.

I currently use my ATT Calypso handle with an ikon tech head.

I’ve been wondering about this combination. It must be quite light, but not too light?

One of my favorite vintage pairings is a Wardonia head with an Ericsson handle. The metal plating of the handle matches the cap nicely and the brown of the base plate looks nice with leaf like pattern on the handle. It feels very balanced and gives a very close, efficient shave. I use a metal hole punch to adapt the blade to the head.

I do it all the time. I use the SLOC cap on a dozen different base plates as an example.

These days I'm using an Edwin Jagger head on an aluminum Maggard handle.
