I look forward to Sundays. Lather Catchers are my favorite shavers.
Lather Catcher Sunday
I used a 3d printed shim which member riverrun (razors.page) was most generous in sending me. The wedge adapter riverrun makes (yellow one just showing) is ideal for certain razors, but does not fit the profile of this early Gem Cutlery frame. With the two available however, I have had good success adapting various LCs to modern wafer blades. It has been a fun journey with these adapters - thanks riverrun!

Here's mine for June. I got out the Gem Junior for a BBS head shave. Not one cut or any irritation.
