June 2022 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

Still in. Movers packed up all our belongings and drove it down to Florida last week. It'll sit in storage until our house is finished being built around mid August. This is the only shaving gear that I kept to use until I get my stuff delivered to the house.

I wanted to keep it simple and inexpensive in case I forget it or lose it along the way.

I wish you the best of luck with getting the house finished and moving in!
 
I'm out.

Put a low ball bid on a straight yesterday (I know), and a couple of hours later was surprised by an email that I had won it. With only three days to go, I fall at the last hurdle. :p

Congratulations? I hope that the straight is one that you actually wanted. :)

That said, you can still go 29/30 if you so choose. Either way, I hope that we'll see you for July.

With another brother off the log, it's time (again) for...

Roll Call!

Oh nice! Where in Florida? Used to live in Melbourne.
 
Day 27, 90% complete.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #4
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave.

Tried a basic shave without ATG, just light XTG over trouble spots, and got a presentable CCS with very little effort.

I'm thinking I might spend July out of GRUME, and scratch a few minor itches that have been developing.
 
Still in

Pre-Shave: hot water
Brush: Shavemac Beagle
Soap: Muhle Sandalwood shaving stick
Razor: Gold Dollar 208
Strop: Invisible Edge standard plus canvas backed hanging strop
Post-shave: Cold water, alum block and Geo F Trumper Ecuris Skin Food

My Muhle Sandalwood shaving stick is now worn down to a lil nub so I've chucked it into the Anbbas bowl to be used up asap, my Beagle had to be glued back in to place as the super glue that I used last time doesn't like hot water it seems, I'll just have to try to avoid hot water in future.
