April 2022 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

[Guido75]

hopefully one of you will get the french joke

I think I get the direction I should be thinking towards

My last shave in this GRUME.

​

Don't know if it was the razor, the soap or my technique, but it was one of the most enjoyable shaves I have had in a long time.

A great way to finish my last GRUME. Never again will I get involved with such a foolish group. This GRUME is going to cost me a fortune at midnight tonight when I clear my shopping carts.

Start drinking now ... there is hope to pass out before you commit the irreparable sin ...

This may amount to my final shave of the month (doubtful) given the result.

Well that was somewhat accurate...
