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.
