SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

My mug shave this morning featured the second go round with my new razor, the Katsumi 14/13, from the very talented razorsmith, Andrey Shpakopskiy (@Gipson), of Gipson Razors in Kiev, Ukraine. It is easily the widest razor I own, and after the last couple of shaves with petite little Swedish 4/8 razors, took a bit to get used to again.

I do love smiling razors and the Katsumi, Andrey’s homage to the Japanese Saito SK series of smiling blades, is a fantastic shaver. A half hollow grind, while a bit heavier than the full hollowed Saito SK models, to which it pays tribute, nevertheless delivered an extremely close and comfortable shave in three very slow, luxurious passes, leaving me with a velveteen smooth mug.

The noggin shave was every bit as good and featured my Leresche 51. This little razor is surprisingly efficient and possesses a very slight almost undetectable wave in its OC. Whether this is unique to my particular razor or a feature of the design, the two pass ATG shave it delivers is always first rate. Both shaves benefited from the Castle & Forbes Lime shave cream which provided a delightfully limey aroma throughout the shave. The finish with Royall Lyme AS/Cologne was the icing on the cake.

RAZOR: Gipson Katsumi 14/13 (Mug), Leresche 51 (Dome)
BLADE: Feather DE
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
CREAM: Castle Forbes Lime
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Royall Lyme AS/Cologne.

 

Good morning, guys!

I just want everyone to know that I will be the new guardian of the 30DC thread starting Oct 1. I do not take this responsibility lightly. I volunteered because this thread has given me great friendships and advice since I arrived here 3 years ago. I have big shoes to fill because Maestro did a fantastic job overseeing this wonderful thread. Thank you, Maestro for everything you did for the 30 DC.
Finally, I want to say that I will do my best to keep this thread going and growing. Thank you for your support, Trigger (Joe).

 

Super shaves, Jeff! Btw, how are you feeling?

 

Gem MMCP
Gem Stainless PTFE (3?)
Semogue BC Mistura 22mm
MWF
Superior 70

To close out my SEptember 30 day focus, i broke out the Clog Pruf. This has been one of my favorites and is definitely one of my most used razors including a 6 month stint a few years ago. Two passes for a nice comfortable shave. The Superior 70 let me know my technique was not perfect this morning, but it was a pretty minor detriment. Enjoy your day.

 

Despite the minor mishap, nice shave Dale! It is been awhile since someone used a Clog Pruf Gen razor. Enjoy your day!

 

Interesting

 

Thanks for letting us now. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery.

 

Excellent shave Dale.

 

Thank you Danny.

Eufros shave soap

It hard to believe that this month is almost over. I have really enjoyed the single edge focus and I wanted to end it with this gorgeous razor. This is a pretty little razor gifted to me by Gary @brit.

Awesome, top notch lather. The Eufros was a gift from Dave @Dave in KY. This is very generous bunch of guys and an awesome bunch to hang out with.

The razor completed three very nice bloodless passes. Although not as close as the FuzzTech with a Feather it was still very respectful shave.

I finished the shave with a little witch hazel and the Royal Copenhagen.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!

 

Great shave as always with a very nice setup, Danny! Have a wonderful day!
