January 2022 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

Still in.

January GRUME is completed, it gives me reason to thank you for your company.

This month has been a very tough and painful one for me for reasons way beyond wet shaving, my dad passed away just recently. His death didn't come unexpected, however it is a thing you just can't be prepared for, though.
But I look ahead with confidence.

See you on the other side - in February GRUME.

Final shave for January. Another great shave with the Yaqi Mellon & Wilkinson blade (2). The Proraso Wood and Spice finally finished, so next up is Esbjerg Sensitiv. Looking forward to see how it performs. Looking forward to it. I think February GRUME will be the Esbjerg, a Yaqi Synthetic brush, and the Yaqi Mellon with a Wizamet blade, at least to start.

Thank you Hannes @Multum in parvo and @Dodger59. Unfortunately my Dad never was a wet shaver, electric shaving as long as I can recall it. However, there is enough other reasons to cherish his memory. He was a wonderful man.

Still in. Still well stocked (though not compared to some ). February is my birthday month, so I'm going to skip the next GRUME, just in case.

I'm really sorry to hear it. I have lost both my father and my stepfather - who raised me from the time I was 4 - and it just sucks. Too late, we realize all the things we wanted to ask and say. My sincere condolences to you, and I hope that you're able to focus on the joy.

If you didn't ask, you can receive.

Last shave of the month and still in.

Gillette GII
Yaqi Aqua High Mountain Badger 24mm

Bought this razor a few years ago and used it one or two times, haven't used it since.
Now I remember why.

See you all in the February thread.
