I forgot to mention: after using Sudocrem, my skin seemed to heal faster.
If you have skin issues after your shave, give it a try.

GRUME, DAY 25
I'M OUT!
Hey Guys,
I am now getting some Truefitt and Hill, SV, Declaration Grooming and D.R. Harris soaps and aftershaves.
I guess I am now a GRUBFer till months end.
What else can I say..........I'm in for December!

After 3days without a shave, it was the Balm that put me OUT well in advance of Black Friday.
I went looking for a hair crème and walked out with an astringent spray as well as the balm.
Follow-on post tomorrow - all things considered I thought I restrained well
Back home in time to watch England vs USA
I'm out!
I was eyeing some budget custom brushes to "complete" my rotation, and now I have most of the brushes from my list.
Some badgers, some synthetic and 1 boar knots are incoming along with a few handles.
They are yet to be dispatched, will share the knots after getting them fixed in handles. I do my knotting depending upon the bristle behaviour, and that gives me better chance of feeling satisfied with the purchases. YMMV.
Shave:
Green Cult V 1.1 and Feather Artist Club razor (non folding)
Pro 500 blade and Feather Professional blade
Shavologist Kailash soap
Shavologist Kailash balm
RazoRock Beehive brush
*No photo, sorry.

Ah - thanks. I saw the post, but missed the revision to the list. I hope the two Techs are kind to you!I was out on the 23rd, for posterity:
It is...now.Is the December thread up yet ?
No shave today but did visit the Mecca of wet shaving in London, Jermyn Street today.
And bought nadda, which was a surprise. Did try some Creed GIT which was nice but not at £208 for 100ml after BF discount.
Staying strong for now

I’m quite consistent with my head shaving kit:Maybe I should start head shaving so I can use 2 brushes daily ! 2022 has been a bit of a brush rabbit hole for me!
