November 2020 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

[Tomo]

Still in

Was tempted by some of the smaller Jnats that JNS listed recently. Then I reminded myself that I already have a full size Jnat that works perfectly and creates buttery smooth edges. Temptation avoided.

... I too resist the temptation of the new Colonel X2 synthetic brush.

What? Where did you see that?

Maybe he meant this on sale here....

I don’t think there is a Colonel yet.

Understandable error, I've gotten those two officers mixed up before! Thanks.

The brushes are very similar from what I see as well.

Just like that, out at the very end. I just offered to purchase a titanium blackbird, I was kicking myself after missing blacklands black Friday sale and put an offer in on the one up on BST.

I thought I didn't have any modern rad, but that's one I've had an eye on.

Still in, but madness is looming. I didn't consider the black friday sales for shaving products before I signed up for GRUME November.
For what it's worth, I'm going to finish this month strong and then I'll let the dogs out in December so I can see if I can last GRUME 2021.

Good luck to everyone, we are almost done (for the month).

I’m going to finish November, buy a puck of Williams just because I’ve never tried it, then roll into DecemBoar and leap into the December GRUME. If I make it through December I want to do the 2021 Sabbatical.

To paraphrase @Tomo from another thread, “My set up is perfect for me, no need for more stuff.”

Stay strong gentlemen.

No December thread so far? Want to make up for the hiccup in November.

Was thinking the same fella. Haven’t made up my mind yet but as UK coming out of the EU any purchases I need to make from the EU will need to be done before 31st December

But @Tomo is a sick man.

Will join December 2020 GRUME, see how far I can go. Madness has to stop, right ? It's ok if purchases (BF sale items) made in November arrive in December ?

 

[Owen Bawn]

Shark in the red tip Super Speed; Chubby 1 Manchurian; Vintage Club soap; Real Musgo Oakmoss #2 Colonia. Still in restraint.

 

[SharpieB]

I’m still in but taking Dec off cuz I want a Simpsons Duke 3 best, a M7 in Super or Manchurian, a Chubby 2 synth, a Spiffo in Silvertip, a Karve razor, another Semogue Boar, a pony....

What? I like pretty things.

Beautiful Sunday morning shave. A few days off was just the ticket for my angry skin. Since I haven’t shaved my head since Wednesday my cul-de-sac was in its full glory. My wife asked me last night if I wanted her to cornrow it for me and my mom called me a long haired hippy.

I meant to use the KSG today but grabbed the Gillette Platinum White by mistake. It’s a really great blade. Next shave will be the KSG then Gillette Platinum Blue.

Leaf w/Gillette Platinum White (2) - head shave only
Schick L1 w/unknown blade, I think “Chick” - neck and beard trim
PAA Awesome sauce CK-6
Zenith MC/BO3-A26 boar
PAA Awesome Sauce AS
PAA Galactic Witch Hazel

Captain’s Choice Copper and SB lather bowls.

Going to sign up for the December GRUME as currently have 4 triple milled soaps in my rotation. D R Harris Windsor, SV Dolomiti 4.0, SV Felce 4.3 and MWF. That lot should keep me going for a good while. Then I have a shed load of other soaps to consider. If there is a restock date might have stock up on balms
