I've been on the hunt for a lather catcher for a while ever since first saw Wchnu do a shave with one on YouTube which brought me to this forum .I learned a lot here, watched some more members YouTube ( Jayaruh ,@Dave in KY ).What I settled on looking for was a Every Ready. Right before Christmas I found an example of what I was looking for in acceptable condition at decent price on everyone favorite auction site. It finally came into today, It cleaned up nice .I am right to call this a 1907? The only issue with it was with the handle ferrule, the handle had had been over tightened a fair number of times over the years and the ferrule was loose and the handle wouldn't screw tight. I made quick fix with a leather washer fitted it under the ferrule to right thickness ,worked like a charm .I cant wait do the first shave with it.

I make it the third from the left on the top row.  Waits does not give much more info on dating than what you see.  These are great little razors and on the mild side.

That's cool. Mine is the middle top one. Mine has a lot of brassing, but it is a great shaver.

Mine is the last one listed, which it why I call it a 1911. I

Veddy nice. I think it looks better then either of the 2 I have. I call them 1907ish because no real way to date them. I have nit watched the video yet but it is on my list!!

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #199
Enders Speed Shaver
Schick Proline B-20 Injector Blade
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #199 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Enders Speed Shaver and the Schick Proline B-20 Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I picked this gem junior bar? Left side is 1900, Right is 1901. It has a lot plating loss, bottom of the handle is missing and cracked. The price was right and everything mechanically is good. The Bar was for Wedge blades? I cant wait to give it a go on a shave.

I believe by then they had reusable blades that resembled modern blades but were thicker.  The Junior bar has that on the back.  Mine just says junior, so I call it that.

Wow! That is a beauty.
