May 2024 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)
- Thread starter Multum in parvo

Today's shave, 1 day of growth
Razor : Merkur 34 HD C
Blade : Gillette Wilkinson Sword (3)
Soap (SOTM) : Godrej Cinthol
Brush : Trafalgar T2
Aftershave: Osma Alum block, Bootleg Greene Freeze, Nivea Sensitive calm moisturizer
Now for the fun fact of the day. I have been dealing with a fruit flies invasion and struggling to get ride of them. As I was pouring some some Witch hazel in the palm of my hand I discover a dead fruit fly in the liquid and was like what the heck ... just to discover that they had decided to commit suicide in the bottle ... I guess I have another tool to get ride of those pesky beast now ...

Just a quick no prep shave today with a PAA DOC, Astra sp, Fuller Badger and some Captains Choice soap. Quick and dirty with great results.

Day 17 and still in. This razor should be my least favourite: to light, tang is like a cutting instrument itself, but the shaves it delivers! Woof! 
Over halfway, comrades: have great shaves and forget where you put your credit cards!

Sounds to me you just found an excuse Richard!
For all intents and purposes I would say this is the time to stay in and persevere!! You can do this!Guido

We can't begrudge a man a new watch - especially not when it's a looker like that! Congrats.Not shaving supplies, but a new watch, maybe not strictly against the GRUME rules but my conscience tells me that I am out. I will try again next month. Good luck to all who remain

Thanks for all the well-wishing, fellas. I'm definitely on the mend, just need to get my energy back. I'm going to rest through the weekend and then hit the gym again come Tuesday - that will be a good test of what this took out of me.
Onward!
Onward!
Day 16, 51.6% complete
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 OC, Al Handle, Astra SP #2
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm
I tried the open comb Game Changer again. It's fun to use WTG, feels like it mows everything down more effectively than the safety bar, but using it every day gave me irritation the last time.
Today's was a comfortable DFS+, I avoided using it ATG on my neck, and got an acceptable result.
Nice one. I got a Seiko 5 (Military dial) in 2007, and it's still going strong.
Glad to hear it.

Still in, no shave.
On route to a family camp in the Chapleau area for the long weekend. And then a 6 day solo backpacking lollygag.
Shaves at camp will be Arko!, synthetic travel brush, 1974 SuperSpeed with Perma-sharp blade, and Clubman or XXX splash.
See everyone in a while.
