Hi Roger. Looking at the blade loading on YouTube, I noticed you'd changed your design. Is it an internal spring mechanism? It's very impressive.
Thank you, Arthur. Yes, I worked around some small stainless steel springs I found on Amazon and they seem to work well.

I'm just now getting around to posting yesterday's shave. I stropped up one of my Kampfe Bros Star wedge blades and installed it in the 1898 Gem Lather Catcher. The shave didn't feel as smooth as my last wedge blade shave but still ended up being a very close and comfortable shave. I'm really liking the Rt. 66 brush with Oumo boar knot. And this is my first use of the Rt. 66 mug I got from my friend who I help out at his restaurant. It's a nice heavy mug and holds lots of heat making it an excellent brush scuttle.

Wow. That looks especially good in black and red. I think a burgundy handle with a bronze colored head would be especially spectacular.
