Looks like it shares some DNA with an EverReady 1924.

Saturday Morning Shearing

It was a fast shave this morning on a nice VC1 with a fourth use GEM blade.
I'm killing the tub of Moon Soaps so you'll be seeing it for a few Days at least.

A very mentionable razor…….haven’t shaved with this one for a while.

Looks like it shares some DNA with an EverReady 1924.

It is Grandpa DNA.  Smile

ASR made moves in Britain starting in 1909 and this particular razor was patented in 1910 by an ASR bigshot who went to London to shake up the razor world over there. This razor was one of the first wafer blade razors designed using a hood/cover to house the blade. It was sold as a New Ever Ready overseas and as a Yankee in North/South America. Same fella birthed the 1924 for ASR later on for many millions of sales. Good lineage! 

Patent is a fun read - really - Razors.page

I need say, I no longer claim anything I say as correct. Folks love to call me wrong on razor history and my feistiness has dimmed, so I prefer to say YMMV.  Thumbsup

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
Jayaruh #434 Synthetic
1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star LC
Star Wedge
CWR
Pinaud Clubman After Shave

The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #434 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor and a Star Wedge blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
