I posted about buying the lather catcher with broken hinge. Well I have cleaned it up with cutips, alcohol and toothpaste and brush. Now it has been jb marine welded in the hinge channel only. In the channel only to hide the repair at least from a distance. Solely for aesthetics. I believe that the minimal application will work. The middle snap naturally is wanting hold the head in proper alignment. Pics coming soon the weld is curing. I'm also using the jb to reglue a travel brush knot at the same time.

Lol yeah the wait is painful. The razor is awesome. Think I'll have to pickup another one soon even nicer than the first. It's super light. The original star blade is in nice condition and modern gem blades load with no issue.
