Is it just me, or has this month been particularly brutal!
Back-to-back losses - whoof! Hope your son is feeling better, and we'll be here next month. I hope to see you in that thread, too!I have fallen.
My son was not well and I went to the chemist to get some cold and flu medication. While wandering through they had King C Gillette packs of 10 blades half price. Never having seen these blades on special I grabbed the last box. Completely forgot about GRUME until I was leaving the store.
I also received some blades from the Great Blade Exchange this week.
Happy to have made it this far on my first GRUME and happy that all I have puchased this month is one discounted box of 10 blades.
Well done to all still in.

IMHO, this is the most maneuverable razor I own. It thrives when using no pressure strokes and was made for the Gillette Slide technique. It's not a daily razor but every time I use it, it is an enjoyable experience

Wrong! When’s the last time I had a shave that good!? FFPE (Fat Finger on Phone Error). For the record, it was an 8.75 at best.Finished with my Tech and Feather, very gingerly for a 9.75 finish.
Didn't realize Bill Evans cut an album with Tony. It must be something great.SOTD JUNE 28th
June 2023 GRUME
Hello friends
Winter is still sunny around here. So I chose the wonderful Mike's Orange, Cedarwood & Black Pepper which made a phenomenal lather with my Omega 48 Pro, the best $10 I've ever spent. Rockwell 6C (6/5/5), Gillette Nacet (3) and Floïd The Genuine completed this morning of dreams.
Along with us, Tony Bennett and Bill Evans, Together Again.

Have a nice day and great shaves.
