September 2024 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

[DamascusSteel]

Still In.
First shave this month I didn't use Arko
I received a free sample of HC&C year of the dragon when I restocked the HC&C Mjolnir fragrance oils for my homemade A/S. Fantastic scents. The HC&C soaps are really good. And I think I prefer the smell of Year of the Dragon over the Mjolnir.

They the ‘Israel Red’ Personnas ? How do they compare to the Med Preps ?

They are Reds from Germany and I like the medical preps better.

Day 7, 23.3% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #4
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave

Used Opuntia for SV Saturday. They're all good, but I prefer this scent to Cubebe. Got the usual excellent bowl lather. I took my time, for a comfortable near-BBS.

They are Reds from Germany and I like the medical preps better

I've not tried a med prep (made in the US?), but most of the locally available DE blades used to be Personnas, labelled as such in Asda, or with a thinly disguised rebadging (Boots). They were from Israel, then Germany, or "the EU".

I like Green Astras better.

I'm catching up with yesterday's shave. A fine and effortless shave. Liking these Stirling Soaptember shaves...

Have a blessed Sunday!

Still in on 8. Had a good Arko shave this morning at a hotel in Gaylord MI, with my travel bowl (a bit small) and my travel brush. Have a blessed Sunday men.

Lovely shave before going out for a meal with the wife on our 21st wedding anniversary.

Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
Razor: Rockwell 6S (5)
Blade: Personna Med Prep (3)
Brush:QED Select 3526 Silvertip Badger
Soap: Ach Brito Musgo

Post-Shave: Alum Block
Myrsol Don Carlos 1972 Splash
Myrsol Emulsion ASB
Casamorati Mefisto EDP

The Ach Brito Musgo hadn’t been getting much use so decided to change that. It was face lathered with my wonderful QED Select brush and produced a wonderful lather. Whiskers were dispatched with my trusty Rockwell 6S on plate 5. Myrsol post shave products were on point and all rounded off with some Casamorati Mefisto

On to the next one

Wishing you a belated Happy Anniversary!

Still in and a BBS this AM.

Had a late night, my daughter and I went to a Megadeth concert last night. I hadn't seen them in concert in 30 years and it was my daughter's first time seeing them live. They were great and Wow, Dave Mustaine can still shred.

Now I'm set to watch a full day of NFL football!

16 hours worth of growth. So I didn't need a shave, but wanted to have one. 2 passes wtg/xtg on setting 2 removed all the stubble. Nice!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

PS: finished this sample today.
