Okay, you sparked my curiosity. See here for the answer to your question (and more):Hi John. Welcome and you're welcome.
The May GRUME will be the two-year anniversary of my starting this thing up after a hiatus. @CzechCzar and a few others started it, near as I can tell. I haven't really kept statistics, but I know that we've had 30+ in a few months and 75% or better completion percentage along the way. Maybe I'll go through and pull the numbers...
GRUME Stats
I revived the GRUME in April of 2019. It had been hosted by a number of others in the previous editions, which took place in 2015 and 2016, then disappeared for a while. I revived the GRUME as a self-help thread and I was perfectly willing to go it alone. I'm really happy to have had so many...

After a few months of hiatus, I'm back in and will stay for the rest of the year. Straight razor shaving refueled my ADs and I went on a buying and selling spree since the last time. However, I consider my setup being complete now.

Still in. So far this restraint has been a breeze.
Same. A half hour done. Almost there.
You guys make it look easy. I'm white knuckling it here.

Make yourself a Fluffernutter and try to relax.You guys make it look easy. I'm white knuckling it here.
Oh, Richard, i miss you already! World class acting, gentlemen and capable of any role!
You made the most convincing american Indian ever! You could even play a Burundian savanna hunter equally well, if you ask me!

My decision to keep wetshaving supplies at work is now really paying dividends. I've cut my index finger, relatively normal when you work in a kitchen, a quick attack with the Styptic Pencil and it's healed. No blue plaster that falls off at the slightest hint of water for me, its almost like the cut never happened.
OK OK OK You win
, I'll take the bait, tell me about a Fluffernutter! I have been seeing you byline for awhile and I guess now is the time to ask the big question!
It is 4:30 AM, day one. This is a piece of cake, no sweat, we got this.
I’m in

"Ask Me About a Fluffernutter..."
A few months ago in the Breakfast thread I mentioned that I made a Fluffernutter for breakfast that day- a staple treat from a New England childhood. It's simply peanut butter & marshmallow 'creme' on bread or toast. In New England "Fluff" is the most prominent brand of marshmallow creme, and in...

After being under the weather in the last week for no apparent reasons, could be the heat strokes going on in my city, I shed the lethargy, quit feeling sorry and got a wonderful shave today.
Part of the reason for this wonderful shave is the RazoRock Lupo 95, for this I'm thankful to the owner for the opportunity.
I selected one of the blades provided by fellow Gentleman who sent me a plethora of blades as PIF a few months back.
3 pass BBS shave with minimum pressure and ample loading of Un Jour Gris games every a very pleasant experience and fitting for a weary evening shave.

Thanks to Owen's prompting, I made a fluffernutter this winter and it was as good as I remember. It's certainly sweeter than what the adult me is used to, but it was fun to eat.
Inquiring minds want to know! Now I know "the rest of the story".I knew you'd ask eventually, so I'm prepared... as it seems like everybody asks...

If during the restraint you feel an irresistible urge to purchase something, see if a couple of Fluffernutters and a tall cold glass of milk and Bosco takes care of it.
