GRUME-ING...Day 1

Arko/Beagle Day!

Cold water splashes and PPA Cube 2.0 pre-shave
Arko rubbed on from tube and lathered with Shavemac:
"B&B boxed beautiful bright butterscotch bulb bound brown badger Bawn Beagle- Barko brush"; the BBBBBBBBBBBBB

GC .68 razor with fresh Nacet blade
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic combined with Gillette AS Lotion

It is great to be back with fellow GRUME-ERS!


GOOD DAY! :letterk1:
 
Still in.

I shaved with the Kamisori and got excellent results from the Witch hazel aftershave.
I'm using it first and then after a few minutes a drop or two of Hyaluronic acid.

This is giving me just enough moisture to make it through the few hours.

I'm going to continue this process till I actually require a bit more moisture, then the Aloe Vera Gel will be used in combination.
 
Day 1, 3.2% complete.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.84 SB, Astra SP #3
Post-shave: Nivea Balm.

An uneventful start to the July Grume. I never try to beat the clock, but have noticed I'm getting faster with this razor.
 
Never mind. I see that it’s not.

Back to try again this month! As usual, full disclosure for last month... after I dropped out I ended up buying another two Haslinger pucks (sandalwood and sensitive) as they are the only two I don't have and a DR Harris Marlborough puck...then a TFS and 3 Mondial croaps (very good chance all of these won't be fulfilled as they are on an "order now and we will notify you when they are back in stock" from a website that often emails later on to say "sorry, we won't be getting any more in stock and have refunded you"...I cancelled the order for the Vielong brush as there was no sign of when it would be dispatched, but then I ordered an Epsilon instead.

Hoping this month will be better!
