SEptember Latcher Catcher Sunday - the Double Whammy!
I can’t quite match today’s selection of a Superior branded lather catcher, but I can use one of the family. JR’s Superior razor sports an August 1900 patent by August Scheuber (I always wonder if he planned the timing on that one!) which was owned by the infamous Zinn family. There were multiple razor frames manufactured under this patent - Clover, Superior, Antiseptic, Gem Junior and the early GEM Jr Bar, such as the Elite set I have chosen for today. These different razors were most likely manufactured by the same New York gang, although the Superior mostly shows up in later models/sets near the first WW. Nonetheless, this is the best I can do to complement today’s choice. If anyone has info to add or correct, please do!
Early GEM Elite, a nice old 1900s scuttle, and I used a puck of old Williams bar to round up the soap bowl.
I took a page out of WCHUs routine and did a third pass with Witch Hazel (Thayers). Starting to really enjoy the third pass fine tune! I love Lather Catcher Sundays
