Quick question
If I receive an unsolicited gift does that put me out of GRUME. A friend who knows I’m into shaving with straights was clearing out their parents place and came across 2 straights which he gifted me. I did not ask for these but have accepted them. Does that mean I’m out?

Unsolicited gift...you are good to go!

Took off my goatee. Maybe because of all the gray hairs but lately I'm just not feeling it. Anyhow great shave today though I'll have to be gentle in the chin and around lip areas for a week or two: that skin not used to shaving and all.
Oh yeah... I'm still in BTW!
