Another month finished. No shave today as of yet...
On a side note-
Had no idea you're a neighbor. Hope it's not as windy down there today as it is here.
Happy shaves all!!!

Day 31, still out.
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Men Rock Black Pomegranate Shave Cream
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #1
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave
Loaded up a fresh Astra. I noticed this shaving cream going cheaply in Tk-Maxx, and bought it on impulse.
It performed about the same as the Nivea, and had a better post-shave. The scent is very mild and fleeting.
PS, congratulations to those who made it to the end.
I hope to see some of you over in the April GRUME.

No shave today. Done for the day. March G.R.U.M.E. completed. Thanks to one and all for a good month. See you in April!
Still in, at a friends house in the Valley. We have three events between yesterday and Sunday, and it wasn’t worth the 3 hour trip on bad roads to return home and back again twice. I usually shave with my Trac II when traveling, but this time I brought my Tech. I got a fairly fast and close shave this morning. One more shave tomorrow, I hope I have time for the Tech so I can launch Vintage April on the right foot (or cheek).
My only gripe about Colorado, the dang wind!!
Yes it's terrible at my place, I'm basically at the Ute Valley park area.
That bleeping wind just bleeps me off
Completed!! On to April...

my long journey to find that best of best blade today was a eye opener
the Treet Dura Sharp beat out my #1 Nacet
a bit ago it had beat out my green 7 and said I had to come back later to compare it more
So kinda confirms todays thoughts but will need some more shaves of course !
Funny when something beats out something you thought was your top that kinda HUH what is happening how can this be its such a cheap blade ($6.99 at A jungle shop site) and treet have a odd/bad rep it seems

Well, that's helpful feedback - thanks. Like you, for me, the Nacet beats the 7 O'Clock Green, though they are very close. Because I'm not going to give Russia any of my money, once my stash of Nacets runs out, I'll be switching, and thought I might go with a different 7 O'Clock, from India. It looks like the Blue Dura Sharp are made in Pakistan, so they may be an option.my long journey to find that best of best blade today was a eye opener

Glad it helped
Yeah the old YMMV of course
but the green 7 and nacet are very very close and still coming to grips with how the Treet is better as they seem to kinda get a bad rap ? My 2nd day comparing the treet once again beat the Nacet though ! Hmmmmm might have a new #1 blade for me
another upside to me is the Treet Dura Sharp are so so so cheap
I am using them in a Timeless Ti .68 so not sure if it was in a more aggressive razor ? Never had those blades when I had my Wolfman razors
