Still here. Chickened out of giving my Gem 1912 a third run for SE Sunday. I continue to get a good shave from my early PostWar Ball handled Tech, Feather Blade (33).
June 2022 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)
- Thread starter FoolishMortal
- Start date
Still in, it seems, despite a surprise Father’s Day gift? Traveling to see family in California, Oregon, and British Columbia… could not have asked for better gear! Happy shaves!
Still in I believe. Did not shave yesterday but did receive an unsolicited Father’s Day gift of some SV aftershave. Do need to shave today though as starting to look a bit rough.

Have a Great day everyone
I’m out. Looked at the price of purchasing more blades and found prices jumped almost $10 per 100. Found one place that still had packs for almost normal price and bought them. Only bought the one pack I needed but purchased none the less.

1.c. Members should have the necessary supplies to last the duration of the Restraint, but this is a Restraint, not a Sabbatical. If something breaks or runs out and you have no suitable or usable replacement, it can be replaced
Its your call, but, as stated in rule 1c, if you needed that pack of blades to keep you going until the 1st July than it is not against the rules.
Still in.

Still in! Did the antique store rounds with family and didn’t find a single thing LOL. Looks like I’ll be getting through this month after all!
Travel kit this week
Still in. Today's shave.
Still in. I've been on the road for the past week and don't shave when traveling usually.
The movers are here packing up our stuff so I set aside one soap, razor, and aftershave to use for the next few months. My SOTD pictures are going to be pretty boring with no variety in products.

Still in, and enjoyed a fantastic shave this morning!
SOTD #20
Back to normalcy, whatever that may be
This morning got hot pretty quickly, which I think may have had an effect on lather today - I have a good sized window in my Master Bath that I like to keep open while shaving.
Made a small adjustment to using a wetter than normal razor at the end of my passes. Today's was a very comfortable and easy shave. May need to look into picking up a SLOC head this coming restock day.

I think you mentioned it but I can't remember where you are moving to?
We are moving to Navarre, FL. Hopefully we'll be driving down mid to late July.
Happy trails !
I may be a few weeks out from moving as well...
Good luck with the move!
