Thank you. I enjoy most of the making process. Especially now that I found something other than CA glue as a finish.

I had an excellent shave this morning with my Pat. 1898 Gem lather catcher. I've been wanting to try a wedge adapter in a lather catcher for a while. The modern blade with adapter shaved quite well in this beautiful old razor. It was a tight fit though. The vintage Williams soap lathered quickly and abundantly with the Zenith boar brush. Aqua Velva finished off this fantastic shave.

I can not tell from the picture for some reason. Does this razor use the screws to adjust for the blade or is it spring loaded?
Happy shaves to ya!
