Thanks Guido but I'm already in, No 5

Ok! But post #24 suggested otherwise. My bad! And great to see you again of course!

[Doti B]

1st shave of July GRUME and so far no temptations, but give me time

Tonight’s shave was
Pre-Shave: Warm Face Wash
Razor: GD 66 6/8 straight razor
Brush: Boti Captain SHD Silvertip Badger
Soap: Razorock Blue Label

Post-Shave: Alum Block
Razorock Blue Barbershop splash
Razorock XXX ASB
ADP Fico Di Amalfi EDT

Not much to say other than a wonderfully relaxing shave. Absolutely no dramas, claret or irritation. Zero sting from the slum which was refreshing.
1st shave of July in the bag and we move onto the next one

PS let’s hope England pull their fingers out and start playing like they want to win the European Championship. For those across the pond in this is a soccer tournament

Thanks likewise! Post #24 was just a small edit of the list, ("sharkweek").

[Roedeer]

Day 1, 3.2% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #2
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

I've got two new baseplates from June to experiment with, so no obvious temptations here.

Back to the .84 Game Changer for an easy near-BBS. Astras always feel smoother on their second shave.

Hannes, does the short beehive perform satisfactory on your scalp? I can see some splits now.

I'm afraid to say I am out, or about to be out.

Reason being, a Muhle R41 GS has come available locally to me. Unused and unopened, at a great price, and this is a razor I really want to try. I believe I will grab it. I will GRUME again next month and do better.

 

[tjsgarden]

Kicking this GRUME off on July 1st with my 500th post since joining Badger & Blade in December last year. A very fitting jubilee post in a new month of restraint. I couldn't think of a better place to celebrate than with my brothers in the spirit of restraint.

It's time again to pull at the reigns and show some gentlemanly restraint. It makes this journey so much sweeter in the end

Congrats and welcome to the long term process and journey of GRUMEing.

In. First GRUME and first shave of July.

Welcome to the fellowship!

 

[ric164]

Still in on day 2. Have a blessed day.
