Summary - Coming home to my top razor. It made the blade deliver another great performance. Excellent Sunday Start.
Showed some restraint yesterday by cancelling an order for another Omega boar brush. I cancelled an order! Go figure!

Enjoy your shave!

Nice shave this morning with ZM The Master...slightly darker and spicier take on the barbershop soaps but a nice break from the norm at any rate. Dark soap and lather to boot.

Still out, 29/30. I tempted fate by going ATG on my neck. Only slight irritation that went away in an hour or so. Nice to have warm lather with this scuttle. But it is nowhere near as efficient at building a lather as my Pereira bowl. Takes more than twice as long.
Never been a big Tabac fan. But lately I've noticed what I can only describe as evergreen notes that have a warm scent for winter time if that makes any sense (probably not).
Razor: R41/EJ DE89 3D handle
Blade: Nacet (2)
Scuttle: PAA Intergalactic
Brush: Omega Hi-Brush
Soap: Hendrix Gunslinger
AS: Omega Alum Stick, Tabac Balm

11/28 Still in! Nice Sunday morning shave. Caught a little weeper trying to get the weird hair growth on the soft part of my throat. 4th shave with a BIC CP blade in the T2. Chiseled Face Bay Rum soap.
Well obviously I did not winNow that is an awesome re-frame of your day!
Still in no shave, should be all down hill from here this month
I experience a similar thing. If I get a weeper its usually on the soft skin near my Adam's apple and it is usually a weird hair or a hair growing at a weird angle!!
Still in, and the end is in sight! Fantastic shave to start the week: super smooth! Nearly there, brothers: hold the line! 
Still in, no shave today

A very nice early morning shave. I haven't used a Kai blade in a long time but it is moving up the charts to one of my favorites. The SOC is FINALLY breaking-in and working excellent. To be redundant, the soap is also excellent. 9.8

Failure…. MO’s new lavender soap got me. Stay strong gents! Back at it again next month!
Is that Mo&Co? Curious about your experiences - haven’t heard of this soap maker.
Thanks,
Guido
Still out! Shooting for 28/30.
Grooming Department - Mohammed!
Still out!
I commend you successful November GRUME members. Strength and honor.
Dug out my long forgotten Karve CB-C brass razor head for what was a really nice Sunday shave.
Sold off two of my redundant Fatips earlier this month, one slant one regular. Still more to sell off.
When can I apply for reinstatement with December GRUME?
