Just today and tomorrow to go, and we have a restraint percentage of 76%.

For the SOTD after skipping, I often turn to La Toja, and it was as reliable as ever.

Ending fine but I was heavily tempted friday and on this cyber monday...

Last shave of November an all Green by Proraso.
Guys, tomorrow I will buy a couple of fine soaps and I will be okay until Xmas.
Awaiting good presents!

#9 finishing out in fine fashion. No temptations this month and Christmas is about giving, so I ought to be good to go for December as well.

#6 finishing feeling great.

Great shave with DR Harris Marlborough cream. Seems to just be a great cream for the month of November.

Success .

Cosmos made it through another one. 11 out of 11 for the year. One more month to go on the hunt for a purchase free year [emoji106]🏻

Can't wait to peel this beard off my face tomorrow! Made it through two months of GRU.

Now I can officially go look for a nice, winter AS for the cabinet! Maybe something Bay Rum - I don't have any of those...

Actually a disappointing shave, my cella smelled slightly off. The shave quality was fantastic but I can't get over that beefy tallow type smell that's overtaken my soap =(

Well done to all! Nothing's changed since I posted the last tracker, so I will not post it again.

JGUN, look for a PM regarding a consolation prize for finding so many of the treasure hunt clues.
