You may be correct in your interpretation. That begs the question, how many pre 1912 patented style lather catcher razors did they make?
Kind regards,

These were considered disposable items so most were disposed of in favor of a newer shinier model.

You're a B&B member are you not? D.Irving79 is the one to ask, because if he doesn't know, then I don't think anybody does.

I think I joined there a month after joining here two years ago, if I am not mistaken. Thanks for the suggestion. Originally Posted by GoingPostal

I have a Gem Jr. When I bought it I was told that it was a 1911 model. The silver plating is showing significant wear but the etching or engraving is still in pretty decent shape IMO. It shaves very nicely. Unlike a DE using the lather catcher forces one to learn how to properly strech the skin. To me it seems a SE razor is a good step to take between a DE and a straight (at least if you don't want to just dive head first into straight shaving).
