First SE, ASR Ever Ready 1907 Lather Catcher. Now I just need the courage to try it!

Found this yesterday in a kinda chain like junk stores we have around here... I debated on buying it for quite awhile..well that was the first step... It was pretty clean to begin with but I gave it a pretty good once over... soooo now i just need some balls to shave with it... It took awhile to figure out how to get the blade that was in it out,... any suggestions and help will be appreciated in shaving with this piece of art.

Nice! - I like it - similar to the Kampfe Star and gem cutlery razors. 1910 ish give or take 5 years. Curious to know what you paid. If you ever decide to sell let me know. Don't see many of these like the gems and star's

will that take a modern SE blade or will you have to hone the original wedge?

It was designed to use the modern blades.

It was designed to use the modern blades.

Is this pic of the top?
I cant see blade stops next to the comb...
Or is it a pressure thing involving that horizontal indent thingy?

Cool looking razor!!
I dont have one of these, but I think the SE blade slides in from the side and that "horizontal indent thingy" holds it in by the spine...maybe
Would like to see a few pics of this loaded with a blade if possible

And who said our grandfathers weren't hip? I love those industrial looking old Lather Catcher razors. I had one but gave it to my son for Christmas before using.

Enjoy the turn of the century karma and a very cool razor!
