That’s when GRUME really starts. When you have to take on those itches! You can do it!!
The two tone works very well by the way. Nice one!

Day 2
Tabactober GRUME and SWS

Hey Guys
The temperature got down in the 50's (F) last night so a warm shower, brush and lather was in order. I still soak the head of the razor in ice water for a cooling contrast. I appreciate a new blade after going 29 shaves with the last one.
Today I rode the cap for the 1st pass and rode the guard for the 2nd and 3rd pass. Tomorrow I am going to switch the order to see what happens.
@Balin just gave me a new word! The shave was "Spectabacular"!

Nice 2.5 pass today. DFS ++ would be BBS but somehow I missed my chin on the cleanup.

Shaved and then got started on yard work before the temperature started rising. It's been awhile since I've used Tabac and it's just as good as I remembered. Looking forward to using this month for Tabactober.
