Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #144
Superior Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Old Spice Classic After Shave

The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #144 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Superior Lather Catcher razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Old Spice Classic After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
 
Hi Friends,

here my Shave of the Day (26.04.2026)

IMG_9725.jpeg
Razor: Seygus Zeppelin V2 // Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra (47) // Soap: La Toja // Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket // Aftershave: La Toja Balm

A very nice shave. Smooth, nice and easy. The razor was extremely smooth and gentle so it needed 2 passes plus minor touch ups to be BBS.

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

I have the .68 and 1.08 in stainless. .88 is a good shaver and puts you in the middle of the road with the other plates. If it gets to the point where you feel the need to bump your efficiency, pick up the .68 plate~the original. Doesn't make a lot of sense but it's literally a cut above the + plate.

Wow thanks for sharing, I appreciate the insight and wouldn’t have thought that either because based solely on numbers I likely would have thought .68 is “less efficient” than .88.

Most other razors are, not this particular razor though. It was their first base plate, I believe they built everything else around it.

Didn’t get a shave in today, lots of driving for my boy’s soccer/football matches this weekend. NY and Western MA about 5 hours each way and 2 hours each way.
I did enjoy looking at everyone else’s SOTD. You all have a great week and be safe in this world wherever you are!
