  5. I've made a few for the Gem Lather Catcher. They also fit the ER lather catcher and ER14 little lather catcher.

  6. Because the handle is very short for my hands.

  10. Don't molest the po' GEMS. They are very good as built.

  11. Because I have a really nice looking GEM Jr head but the handle is in really bad shape. If mine looked like the one above I wouldn't be looking.

  15. Those match up with the Gem and ER lather catchers. It is a #9 stainless steel sheet metal screw. I looked a long time to find the size that would fit. Oh, I just remembered something I did two years ago. It involved a center punch and 10-32 screw. Not all Gems have the same threads, but this one works on this 1912 and my 1924 Shovelhead.

    Brass Punch Handle, The Continuing Story

    Two weeks ago, I got this brass center punch and converted it to a razor handle (original post). Today, I took it a step further. I got some 10-32 screws and cut one to about 1/2 inch. I used it to join the handle to a GEM 1912 razor head. It will also fit select pre-1930 GEM/Ever-Ready razor heads. I tried the Ever-Ready 1914, but it takes a smaller screw.

  16. Wow. It's almost alien looking. "The GEM From Space" sounds like a bad 1950's sci-fi movie. Nah, actually looks really nice.

  17. You forgot the Superiors. They also fit the Superior LC and Bar.

  18. Thanks for the correction. I know that whoever got one of my handles, the handle fit. I was glad for that.
