Eagle Improved Lather Catcher - Dave in KY - 08-24-2021
Tuesday August 24, 2021
Razor: Eagle Improved
Blade: MODIFIED Gem SS (1)
Brush: Eagle Boar
Soap: Stirling "Blood on Steel"
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: CHH Tobacco
Fragrance: Mr Burberry
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1021
So this is a razor set I acquired recently and as it was inbound was told by Greg that it would need blade modifications and he explained you need to remove the Spine from a Gem Single Edge blade and then shorten the blade before getting it into the spine again. That gave me the direction I needed and was all set as mine was coming with an original blade for size comparison. So here's the comparison in size and the metal snips I used. And the final product to shave with.

5 Picture limit prevented me from doing a single post
The shave was very mild to me. More so than the Star and Gems I've been using but gave a good close shave. My preference would still be the Star Super Six razor and the ones in that bunch. Just the right amount of blade feel to find the angle better that this one was lacking. None the less it was a great shave from another cool piece of by gone days. Have a great Tuesday everyone !!

Nice razor! Your blade modification is the same as I have done for my Wilkinson Empire.
