Well guys I wanted to share this restore with you. Its a 1901 NEW GEM aka Lather Catcher. I picked it up back in November and was all broken when I got it. Besides being tarnished it was missing the safety tab and the rivet was busted, case was toast. I cleaned her up and slowly fixed her back up. I removed the rivets and replaced them with brass pins like a straight. I then had just realized it was missing the safety tab so time went by and I kept looking for the part I needed. Michael aka Poonjaji, He had just won a set and one was missing the safety bar but had the tab I needed. He was kind enough to send it to me for free to help me with my restore. I then replaced the part tightened the pins polished her to a high reflective shine and sent it off to a local plater for some fresh nickel. Once I got it back I cleaned and buffed the handle and finished it with danish oil and renaissance wax.
I used it yesterday and am about to use it again today. It was a amazing very enjoyable shave that was not only alot of joy to use but the shave it self was super close dare I say it closer than most of my straight shaves.
Special thanks to Michael aka Poonjaji
