I am hoping this will be the next entry here. Looks like a razor fit for a King. It's actually a Silver King itself...I know how you royals like to hang with royals...

So here it is Clark's Silver king. It is different from any other razor I have. Well at least in the loading of the blade. Wait's shows it to be 1920s..ish. There is a hinged plate on the bottom of the head. When you put the blade in it goes over the plate and under the side holders. The blade is slid to the stops and then when you tighten the handle it pushes up on the plate and that pins the blade between it and the side holders. Seems to hold nice and tight. This will be my razor for a shave later tonight of course!!! Is it a lather catcher because of the open top? Or not because it does not have a lather trap???

I wouldn't call it a lather catcher because there's nothing there to catch the lather.

And as it doesn't catch lather... I'd say it's not a lather catcher.

I will move it out of this section. It is really nice design. I will see how it shaves in a bit. I wonder if this would be a way to make a modern SE work?

WOOO. This is the first time I have moved a group of post into a new thread. Looks like it worked.
This razor is interesting on several levels. Gotta get my Williams Wednesday shave on... using the time warp as this is actually Thursday. I crashed in my recliner last night and did not get up in time to shave on Wednesday...sue me....
