alright, hopefully second times a charm, I have a few items on the way, but they are already purchased.

 

[Abz88]

Back in this month. After sitting out in May for some planned purchases I ended up also buying two shaving soaps, a shaving stick, two new boar brushes and a Muhle Rocca...definitely needing to get into the GRUME way!

Back on the wagon, as I dropped out of the GRUYERE in May overdoing it on my exception item. I also used the opportunity to buy another razor and brush, so it's best for me tighten the belt again.

@Sinnbad11 is here. Party is complete. It’s going to be a great month.

 

[12stones]

Having just done a restock that should last me to the end of the year, why not get in on this as I should be spending money on other things than more shaving stuff.

I have done 6 or 7 GRUMEs and was only successful twice!

 

[Owen Bawn]

I think June will be my 12th consecutive Grume. My record entering June (if I stay 'in' through tonight) will be 9-2.

 

[redrako]

[linty1]

Its actually comforting to hear that others haven't been successful in the past, I appreciate those, I do feel better about myself. I'm currently 0-1.

Haha I think I'm 3-5 (or perhaps 6) so far. It's not easy.

 

[Herrenberg]

My first successful GRUME will be complete in 12 1/2 hours!

Now I have to decide whether to join the new one.

(looks at open tabs of shave gear I covet, including the Revisor site I learned about only recently)

(looks at what shave gear I already have)

OK, I'm in.

The Revisor people will be on vacation for all of June. That helped push me over the top.

 

[RumpleBearskin]

Well, the invoice for my QUADSAB exception came in and I've paid as of 05/31, so the timing evidently worked in my favor this time. I'm in for June.

[Tomo]

First winter shave down under. Still in.

The month started the same as the last one ended. I thought that I’d switch back to DE during the week for speed but after a while the dreaded neck irritation started creeping back in. So it’s back to the relative safety of my SR’s. The only system I’ve been able to master enough to use daily on an indefinite basis. You would think an open blade would be more aggressive. For me it’s been the opposite. I think it’s probably easier to judge the angle when you can see what your doing.
