Gem Junior Bar Lather Catcher

I got this Gem Junior Bar lather catcher in a trade with a fellow shaver on TOST. It came in today, and I will be using it tomorrow. The handle is pretty well brassed, but the head is in good shape. I think I will attempt some sort of repair on the box down the road as the "henge" has broken.

The first three pictures are pictures I had before the trade.

 The razor arrived today, and here is the reveal.

Below is tomorrow's planned shave. I will be using Williams Mug Shave Soap and a Rubberset 400 that I am restoring. I am testing out the original knot to see how it face lathers. I am also using one of my original lather catcher handles that I made.

I Made Another Trade

I traded one of my brushes for a Gem Junior Bar lather catcher. Here are some pictures I captured.
