Happy Birthday @Beto Salatini !!!!
March 2023 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

Hello friends!
Today is my birthday. To celebrate my 65 years of life, my dear wife told me last night that she would like to give me a shaving soap as a gift and asked me which one I would like.
I thought of replying: I'm in a restraint with my dear friends at GRUME, my love…but instead, I replied with enthusiasm: Martin de Candre Fougere!
Overhearing the conversation, our daughters (we have triplets) said they were thinking of sharing a gift for me, perhaps some fragrance or aftershave that I didn't have and would really like. Which? Brut Oceans, I replied...
The true is that I had not shaved for over twenty years, only trimming with an electric razor whenever my facial hair became unbearable and I went back to shaving less than a year ago. By all appearances, the girls at home are happy with my decision, therefore I can't let them down…
Well my friends, as of today I am out of March GRUME. I must confess that happiness for my birthday is mixed with sadness for leaving you. It's a bittersweet feeling...
I apologize my dear @FoolishMortal and all my friends for enabling.
I shall be back in two weeks with a lot of strength for restraint.
I will miss you all very much.
Be well and have great shaves.
Cheers!

My 2 cent advice for "window shoppers" would be to look at an E. Jagger D89. It is my personal favorite mild razor. The Rockwell 6S is probably my most versatile razor. A couple days ago, the Feather AS-D2 was very mild and efficient.
However, the Merker 34 is in the same ballpark.
With that said, IMHO, most razors I have can be used in a mild manner using "no pressure" strokes and riding the cap on the first pass. Currently, I am satisfied focusing on technique and "restraintful contentment".
dear @Beto Salatini !!! MdC is a wonderful soap!
I hope you will continue as a 30/31er because we really enjoy your postings.

Yesterday was my two year anniversary on B&B!!!
Still In GRUME, GRUYERE and 365 Shaves
Feather DX with AC Pro (2), Declaration Grooming Dirtyver and Omega 81054
After posting yesterday, I noticed it was my anniversary with B&B. It has been a fun and meaningful ride so far. It is the only online site I make comments on a daily basis.
Learning new skills is important to me. I am glad I took the challenge to use a straight razor. The DX can shave at a very shallow angle. It has also challenged me to hone and refine all the other techniques of wet shaving.
Every shave is a learning experience and "restraintful contentment" is also a good learning experience.
Please take care of yourself and each other.

I must admit, I am out as of today. Just bought another razor. I did sell one of my own last week, but still, it is a shave purchase. So, with pain in my heart, I say farewell ;-) I will continue though using my products I already have, nothing changes there.
Will sign up for some montly grumes to come probably. Thanks and good luck to all!

Thank you very much, my dear @tjsgarden !

Please, tell me John, what exactly is a 30/31er? Does this mean I can continue posting in the March GRUME?
EXACTLY! Instead of saying "Still In", just identify yourself as a "GRUME-30/31er".
I think I can speak for most GRUMEers and say your postings are appreciated very much.
