I have made some brass thread adapters that are #8-24 on one end and #10-32 on the other. I am hoping to donate them to the Sue Moore Memorial Fundraiser, and wanted to see if there was much interest??? Any Lather Catcher or 1914 users out there? I was thinking 3 to a pack. I only have enough for 10 packs made. . . . .but I have more brass stock on order (even if I am feeling a little tuckered out after the first batch).
The #8-24 (now obsolete) will thread into the older Gem-type razors, and the #10-32 will thread into Gillette and Modern (M5) handles. You can essentially put an early Gem-type head on any handle that will work with a Gillette head.
I don't pla7n to ever offer these for sale (anywhere). Just making them for self, friends and family, but I made some extra in hopes they would find interest in the upcoming Auction.
They aren't the highest quality, but I was doing better at the end of the 24" brass stock than I was at the beginning of it. Thanks to @Jim99 for talking through this with me by PM. I bought the Lather Catcher from him recently, and he included a really cool wooden handle he made for it--it inspired me.
I will post "how to" information later. There have been past threads, but wanted to post a fresh one with the poll.
Note: If you have never tried a Lather Catcher with a Tuckaway handle, I highly recommend it.
