I had a great shave with my oldest SE. This Kampfe Star Lather catcher is a great razor and I love the way this bullet casing handle looks and feels on this razor. The casing is from the honor guard at my Grandfathers funeral. An unmentionable witch has a picture of a rifle on it was also involved. I figured it was a fitting combination.

Tomorrow, I will be breaking out my AutoStrop VB1 to use the first five days of June. I like the AS razors, especially those that can use modified Gem blades. 



I took the spine off the blade and nipped off the middle protrusion of the blade so it would fit in the AutoStrop holder.

This is an antique original shaving mug marked "Old Foley" by James Kent ltd of Staffordshire England. I found it on ebay, and it will be my first (and maybe only) shaving scuttle. I just wanted one like this to represent old style shaving. Some of you guys know much more about these than I do. These would have been used before indoor plumbing. The bottom would hold water (hot or cold) while the cup on top would hold the soap. You would wet your brush in the water and then load it on top. However, my method would be to wet the brush and use it to wet my face. Then, I would take the soap and rub it on my face followed by building lather with the wet brush adding water if necessary. I am looking forward to getting this in my den and making a video with it. It will arrive by Saturday hopefully. I will post the video here.

As King of Tost3 I here by declare the first Sunday of each month to be “ Favorite Lather Catcher shave day”. Post your shaves here. Remember razor porn is always good.

This razor can be difficult to find as it was only in production for a limited time (several months between 1940 and 1941).  The shaves are smooth and it is an absolutely gorgeous razor.
               

The good Colonel Schick got it right with the very first Magazine Repeating Razor, this beauty shaves extremely well, and to me is the perfect balance of comfort and efficiency.  I also think it looks VERY cool.  There will be more pics over time, but here is a past SOTD

Here is the Valet AutoStrop VB1 set that I have. Complete with Strop and Blades.
   
   

This razor has been 4 years in the making. 

It all started a few months after I created the Bunny. It was making the rounds and I was gathering all the input. I then tried to incorporate the main things people were looking for in an Injector. What I came up with was this. The most compact head design as possible. What it ended up as was this. Mind you it is not an Injector, as you have to load the blade by hand. 

This has sat around ever since. I came to the conclusion that what I had designed was a disposable razor design. Taking in all of the feedback and just working from there. It naturally morphed into this. The one thing that I never really liked was how it held the blade. I was relying on friction. I put it away and moved on. Then several months ago I got the design big big time. I went on a tear and did 3 unmentionable razors. Anyhow with all of the feedback a member across the street suggested using magnets as springs. Very cool idea I think. Anyhow while I was looking through my files. I came across this again.  It dawned on me that I could use smaller magnets to secure the cap and blade. I also realized that it would be a perfect printable razor. So here you have it. I need to get the magnets still. Everything fits dandy. 
 

Uh oh, what holds these isn't far behind;
