Jeff,

That was a complete shocker to me. I am still having a hard time swallowing this news (especially so shortly after Amund's passing). Thanks for sharing Glenn. My wife and I's thoughts are with his family in what's sure to be a very difficult time.

Great idea GI...I don't have an SE, but I will be all for a "Catfish Belly Smooth" shave.

Rene,
What a great way to commemorate the shave. Looking forward to it.

RIP Mark
I will miss you my friend. Especially your colorful descriptives

Mark, you will be greatly missed friend. Condolances to friends and family.

About a month ago me and Mark did a swap, I sent him some SE razors that I had in my collection, and he sent me back a strop for my autostrop and a hilger and sons straight. They will both be used this week in rememberance of him, and kept in my collection forever. Rest in peace M.A.C.

o.k. friends,
7 a.m. in Germany. So I'll be the first one who posts the SOTD in memoriam of Mark.
R.I.P. my friend!
Here is my personal Blugill-shave:

RIP Mark. I will miss you my friend. Condolances to friends and family.

RIP Mark, am shocked to hear this.

What sad news! I´ll miss Marks lovely descriptons and good spirit. Tomorrow I´ll take out one of my SE razors and I´ll try and get as clean as a catfish´s belly. Rest In Peace brother Mark!!

Prep: Hot shower + Proraso
Brush: Henks olive wood silvertip
Razor: Dorko
Cream: Connaught peppermint
AS: Floid
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean indeed
I didn´t ecxept much from this soap, to be honest, but it´s really good. Strong, dense and long lived lather, I would have liked it to be a little more slippery, but that´s what i think of a lot of soaps (and I suspect that you can´t have a very dense/compact/cushion lather combined with excellent slip).

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Martinez' Custom: Chess King w/ 26mm silver tip badger
Soap: Proraso
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Genco Army & Navy
ASB: Proraso

Smooth shave.

Good morning.

Gillette Tuckaway
Wilkinson blade
New Forest brush
Barbus shave cream/soap
Santa Maria Novella Emulsione Analcolica
Prada EdT

Sorry gents, no picture today...

Edit: R.I.P. blugill...

Another member of this SOTD brotherhood has passed away. You will be missed buddy, this one is for you! RIP Mark!

Pre-Shave: A warm and long shower

Brush: DR Harris 25mm silver tip

Razor:"Solgen" #75 French point, 5/8"

Strop: Kanayama #90000

Soap/Cream: Castle Forbes Lime

Astringent: Alum

After shave Balm: Castle Forbes Lime

EdT: Paco Rabanne Pour Homme

Results: A wonderfully close and smooth shave. This Solgen razor might be on the small side of the spectrum, but it sure shaves like the big boys And when used with the CF line of products, most shaves will feel special!
