shall we?

We shall not...

...buy anything in January.

I have 400 blades in the mail along with a B&M soap and balm, another Tabac Stick, a Parker Semi Slant razor and 3 Simpsons brushes.

if I can’t go purchase free in Jan, I might need in-patient therapy for shaving gear addiction.

The man from Dedham! What was the name of that bar on Washington St right where the Forest Hills/Dedham Line bus turned around- was it called 'The End of the Line?" And is the Halfway Cafe still just up the street? Great steak tips.

I'm in for the long ride, gentlemen.

I only have Custom / crafted razor stand in my " exception" , so I'll excuse myself in that month from the GRUME.

In for another. December's was easier than anticipated and I wanted to do the YNAB 34-day reset anyway, so the January and February (the reset runs through February 8th) GRUMEs will be a perfect match.

Good luck to us all, but especially to @henrickd and @Contact_vs_Feedback for the year long!

Still considering that one...

Yikes, what a memory.

The bar at the 34 bus turnaround may be what is now the Halfway Cafe. Closer towards the Route 1 rotary is an Irish bar, 'The Auld Sod'. Accross the street is an old school pub (On the Dedham Mall side), 'The Midway', all homemade food, pretty much the same as when it opened in the 40's.

Bring it on, boys!

I just ordered a new brush today and looking forward to getting back in my wife‘s good books by being a frugal good boy in Jan.

 

[Jmp63]

Might as well join the monthly’s to go along with the year long sabbatical! I spent a good amount Treewhaling to end the year. Will definitely post pics once it all arrives!

Wishing all of you Ladies and Gentleman along with your families a greater, better New Year !

We just Celebrated New Year (alone in our home, listening to Firecrackers and hurrays).

My sobering journey to 2021 monthly and yearly GRUME has officially started, and it's a good time to do that.

After all the things that I've ordered
" need " is not going to be the correct word, want would be better suited.

Good luck to everyone for their GRUMES and other endeavours.

The M7 synthetic? How's the M7 in Super? Have you tried it out? WHERE ARE THE PHOTOGRAPHS?

The M7 synthetic? How's the M7 in Super? Have you tried it out? WHERE ARE THE PHOTOGRAPHS?

I ordered the M7 tortoiseshell synth today as they were down to 2 left in stock. The Manchurian will have to wait until after January’s GRUME as it turns out that I am quite fond of my wife and would not enjoy being homeless during the Canadian winter.

I received the M7 in Best earlier in the week and it shall meet my face for the first time today. I was using boars all month, but I will be cheating today. Initial impressions are all positive in any case.

I‘ll post some Simpson family pics once my Classic synth arrives later today.

Also part of the 2021 Sabbatical, but will join here too.
I used my December Grume failings as opportunity to stock up on some soaps to add variety to the TOBS Sandalwood & Simpsons Luxury Cream currently owned.

I'm in. I thought about the annual restraint this year, but I expect I'll need some SE blades and witch hazel this year. Since two exceptions aren't allowed, I'm going to go with monthly restraints until I run out of something.
