Alright, still in no shave and this is wrap for this month. Now I have to decide what will be on tap to replace Arko in September while we await for Tabactober .
No shave today!
But the month has been completed successfully!
See you all on the other side!

Still in, the final shave of the month and another GRUME complete. See y'all in September.
Razor: Schick G4 "Schick 66"
Blade: Schick Injector blade (20)
Soap: Arko stick
Brush: Omega 10290 Boar
AS: Aqua Velva Ice Blue
A DFS but the blade became a little tuggy as the shave proceeded. A little irrigation on the neck, time to retire the blade.

No shave today but will have one tomorrow. Another GTUME successfully completed
No shave today. Successful month of shopping abstinence despite looking and being tempted a bit. Watch out for those Labor Day Sales people, and steer clear of them.
Day 31, 100% complete ✓
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #4
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave
Used Opuntia for SV Saturday. I got a fine bowl lather, and all the rest of the kit worked just right. That was about as perfect as a shave gets — not completely BBS under my chin, but I've learned to quit while I'm still winning there.
Congratulations if you made it to the end! I hope to see some of you over on the September GRUME thread.

Made it, but missed some roll calls. Incredibly busy with finally getting some work done after the fire damage of the summer of 2021. We had a new roof and gutters installed a couple of Fridays ago. Big wind on Saturday and a tree fell on the corner of our house damaging the roof and 2 sections of the gutters (30 feet)! You can’t make this stuff up! Damage repaired this weekend. I missed traditional wet shaving three times, two electric shaves 🫢, and one no shave day. Either is very unusual for me! Ended the month with shave 625 on my Feather and Tech.
Another month down! Unfortunately, I’m not getting through a lot of product given a four month stint with a stick of Arko.
