Notes:

Still in and easily cruising along. Last year May was the month I dropped out of GRUYERE 2023 and subsequently dropped out of control in the razor department as well. This year feels completely different.

Summary. A truly superb shave with the Game Changer today and no signs of a Rubie going on 8. This is an amazing razor with similarly amazing results. Happy happy joy joy!!

Enjoy your shave!

Yep, I'm in. Sorry for my absenteeism - work has been all-consuming.

Thanks, @Multum in parvo , for starting the thread!

Day one and I am still in I tried the German Wilkinson Sword blades and did not care for them but these English versions are superb. They are almost a bit too smooth, shame I am down to my last blade and cannot seem to find any more. I will proabably find some now I have joined my first GRUME
