June 2021 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)
- Thread starter FoolishMortal
- Start date
Going well. Traveled across the mountains to the wild west and visited family over the holiday weekend, first time in about 18 months. That was nice.
Just saw the news that Coach K is retiring after this next season. With him and Williams gone it will be the end of an era in this state.

Trading the 3.5 karve handle for the 3 was a success. I've been into shorter handles recently and this karve 3 inch handle really did the trick. Personna lab blue and the Karve-E, nice gentle shave today.

Day 2 - still in. Decent shave this evening. I'm not usually an evening shaver, but a 4am wake-up tomorrow is going to mean no shave.
Day 2, 6.6% complete.
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: Rockwell 6S R4, Personna #3
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.
Got a relaxing DFS with the Rockwell. These older (made in Israel) Personnas don't feel as smooth as Astra SP or Wizamets though.

Still in! No shave today, cleaning the standard razor and putting the nacet blade (feels like it still has a few shaves on it) into another razor to switch things up for tomorrow.
Thursday- still in

Still in. No shave today, and probably won’t be one until Sunday.

Still in and June is looking good as there is nothing shaving related I really need. In fact, I haven’t bought any shaving gear in a few weeks.

I haven't shaved in this month yet.
Monsoon is arriving in a week or two, it will be a welcome change in weather here.
The packages containing items given to me on loan have reached their owners safely.
The new owners of Omega 10098 and Stirling Soaps have also received the delivery.
I also sold off my Omega 10005 brush, as it was not getting preference in my rotation.
10098 and 10005 were my 1st boars and I learned to break-in with them, they also confirmed that I'll love a boar brush or two in my rotation.
The 10098 is in middle if the break-in process (60-70%) by my understanding, this will give the new owner a chance to see it develop and work on it according to his preference.
I shifted my shaving items from the drawers of my previous room and currently they are in 2 carry bags.
I'll be 'adjusting' them in their new location soon.

Like the new avatar pic of Phil Lynott, big Thin Lizzy fan.Still in and June is looking good as there is nothing shaving related I really need. In fact, I haven’t bought any shaving gear in a few weeks.
Is the Booster's Bay Rum closer to Stephan's, Master's or Clubman VIBR?

None of the above, really. A very light bay oil scent I suppose like Stephans, but then it has the same base as all the other Booster splashes. I'm not good at describing scents, but they all have this same base note- so the bay rum smells like bay rum, but identifiably Booster, the Polar Ice smells like Aqua Velva or Floid Blue, but also like Booster, the Aquarius smells like Clubman, but like Booster, too, etc. Of the many bay rums I've enjoyed, Booster is unique. I like it, but I don't really know if I'd replace it, if that were an option. It comes in a 400ml bottle, and I have liters upon gallons of bay rum already.
