Magnetic Blade Carrier for Enders Razors

 I had made some blade carriers for my Enders shavers  so I could use injector blades in them. The Enders Speed Razors/Shavers were well made and designed razors. Unfortunately, no one makes blades for them anymore. Then I was introduced to someone who had made a magnetic blade holder that worked as well or better than my carriers. However, I cannot recall who made this nifty blade carrier.



My design used old Enders blades where the bevel was ground off and where I used JB Weld to make spots that would line up with the blade holes. It worked for a while, but eventually one of the wings on the blade holder would fail. 

Here is a better design that took more know-how and tools than I have. 

Black Label Blade held with magnets

Front with Black Label Blade

Back view with Black Label Blade

Back of carrier with blade

Like I said, I don't remember who made this carrier. It was a bit pricy, but now I can use any of my Enders razors with confidence and the blade of my choosing.

Ever-Ready Lather Catcher

 Well, I did it. I just pulled the trigger on this Ever-Ready Lather Catcher (it's a birthday gift from my wife. I will let her know later). I have one already, but it has a lot of plate loss. This one looks sparkling. Mine is a great shaver, so I don't expect anything less from the shiny one.






Update: 30 August 2025

It arrived early. That is OK with me. I am very happy with my new Every-Ready Lather Catcher. 

Box on arrival.

Open the box.

Revealing the Razor.

Old Ever-Ready next to New Ever-Ready.

The new razor has great plating retention for a 100 year old razor. Thank you, Sweety for this beautiful birthday gift.
