What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I'm not able to see this pic.

 

Hero 1914 Lather Catcher..

Another shot..

And lastly..

Just got this 1914 Hero Lather Catcher a moment ago from a UK Flea - Bay seller for £20.00 and local postage...These are ultra rare...If this isn't NOS I am a Dutchman...Its in pristine condition...Its got a strange in dented comb design...Looks like quite a mild lather catcher..I could sniff the usual collector types hanging around...But hey, it had my name written all over it...

Billy..

 

Schweet!

 

Here you go

 

Got myself a Simplex and I think it's mostly because of how much I like the shape of the handle.

The only lather catcher in my den. Im curious as to the condition of the blades....that was the only photo.

 

Good thing about a lot of lather catchers is that they can be used with modern blades. I don't have one of your so can't tell for sure but do keep up posted!
If not, @gssixgun does a mighty fine job honing old hoe blades

 

Is that the second one youve got?? Is this the one that was on sale before he shut down? It was in the middle of NBJ and I didnt crack.....no im kicking myself.

 

Yeah, for some odd reason I now have two of them incoming - different knots and handles.
One was a private sale from a member on TSR and this last one is directly from Peter himself - the last one he's selling apparently.
Will be great fun to try, and have, some of these brushes now that they are sadly all gone.

 

I didnt find much info on Rex lather catchers on the net. I was hoping Billy might chime in.

 

I own two of his chubby 3's and they are fantastic. Too bad he's not making them any more.

 

Summoning @Billyfergie ....

 

Here's the two I got inbound (right one is stock photo, mine has the regular label)

Not sure about the model number on the 20mm one but just asked him.

 

I have looked for In Intel on these in the past and came up pretty much a blank on them...
Billy..

 

Some of these more obscure Spanish/American Type Lather Catchers take a longer wedge blade than usual and I am not sure if this is one of them...

Gillette Red Tip

* Sellers picture

 

Oh! Nice

 

Nice score Kerry, I'm curious to hear your comparisons to your aristocrat.

 

I like the Red Tip; just right in terms of aggressiveness. More so than the Blue Tip.

 

It came. The numbers are not as sharp and clear to read as on the Futur. Other wise, at least this one, is very well made. I tried in out on a 6. Very noisy sound feedback! For me, it does not give as close a shave as a R41. So the 6 will not get used by me. I can see me using in the lower setting. For the price it give a great shave.
