Gentlemen:
I am out. Decided to exercise my GRUYERE exception and just ordered a new Karve razor.

I will join you again in the future!

You aren't out, this is the GRUME exception rule 3:

3. Members who are in a Quarterly or Yearly sabbatical are allowed to exercise their documented exception(s) for those events without failing the monthly restraint. Please note your participation in the other restraint(s) when you add your name to the list.

That G5 is beautiful, like I've said before I need one of those!

Thanks!
It's one of my best for headshaves.

I would have been fine, but, I also bought a second handle. Put myself out of the year long as well.

LOL

The stars aligned this morning... Boy, what an unexpected experience of immaculate perfection. That's why I love this thing called wet shaving

Cheers!

No worries there - GRUYERE (and your exception) are accounted for:

No shave today

Day 10, ⅓ complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #7

Same again, and I got another fine near-BBS.

We're ⅓ of the way through the month already, and there's nothing shaving-related on my radar. I might be replacing a dead laptop, though...

Sadly, with such a small group braving September, we have our first "out" of the month. @Jayson74, I hope the Karve works out for you. Maybe it will be so good that you'll go 29/30 for this month and continue through the end of the year, one GRUME at a time. I guess we'll see.

When a brother falls, it's time for...

Roll Call!

In!

Nothing to report than a nice and easy shave today. DFS +. All components involved in this shave worked well.
Cheers!
