Hey Guys, I have a couple Arko sticks I bought and have never used it. If you want to have a Arko-Day this week I am game.
So as I said, that was 3 months ago. I have yet to use the brush, because I'm still in restraint. I have so many brushes I don't know what to do them. I wanted this brush... I still want this brush... but as long as I'm in restraint I won't use it. At least that's how I feel right now.
I quite literally have several thousand dollars worth of shaving brushes. Yes, I'm in 'restraint' in that I'm not purchasing anything new and I'm choosing not to use a brush that knocked me out of a GRUME, but believe me, there's nothing ascetic about my restraint. I'm using the best shaving brushes in the world, and I have plenty of them.Wow. Now that's restraint. I freely admit that such a feat would be beyond me. My hat would be off to you, if I had a hat. Come to think of it, I do, but I don't think I'm supposed to start wearing it before Memorial Day.
Nice looking brush.
This past Feb-early April I decided only to use pure badger bushes for Lent. They aren't exactly a cilice or a flagellum or a hair shirt but a pure brush does inflict a wee modicum of discomfort on the user. But my 5 pure badgers are all either Rooneys or Simpsons; in other words, even when I practice asceticism I do so in luxury.
Absolutely. Remind me in July!
Even after reading B&B for years, whenever I see the word "tuck" I think of a hemorrhoid treatment, not razor blades.Sounds good, I'll send you a tuck of something as well so's it counts as a trade and everything is "copacetic" as they say.
Arko Thursday, in the monthly grume. Works for me! I'll be sure to put it on deck for Thursday. Spread the word if we can!Anybody interested in a Arko-Day this Thursday???
If Arko is unavailable, use a soap, stick or cream laying around that has been unused or severely neglected???
Yes indeed - you're in well before the cut-off on the 15th. Welcome!May I still join this one?

I don't know if its because it's 3am and I'm having an epiphany, but this will be good for me.
I'm out!
This was supposed to be the month in which I finally take the GRUME seriously. I was under no illusions about it being easy, I had quit window shopping on shaving supply websites. I had even been enjoying the equipment that is in my current rotation. But there was the local flea market that was supposed to be safe. No-one ever sells shaving equipment at this flea market. Then my girlfriend found it, an Ever Ready single edge, Pat'd 1912, and for only £5. At that price I just had to have it.

If you are going to do ARKO-SHARKO AUGUST, and you are in the July and August GRUMEs, we'll find a way to get a month's worth of Sharks to you. I promise.
Hey, we can trade during GRUME and/or I can send you a few blades.Still in.
I used the RR Hawk v3 with the Titan mild blade again today and it was kind of meh. I achieved BBS, but only for about 2-3 hours and I had to do a lot of touch ups. If I weren't in the GRUME I would be ordering a more aggressive blade to see if it made a difference. I'm going back to the Wolfman tomorrow.
