December 2024 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

[JAHE]

Out.

I enjoyed an effortless shave this morning. The Apex removed two days worth of growth successfully. I'm definitely not used to the weight of this aluminum razor.... but I managed not to put too much pressure on it. The german Wilki (3), however, was a good match.

Hang in there, the weekend's near

Cheers!

Still going…

Not a Christmas scent.. but, this always reminds me of Christmas. It was 1989 and we were in London. The XO (girlfriend at the time) bought me a bottle of this a/s for Christmas. It always reminds me of that time. Lovely shave this morning. Perfect, in fact!

Make it a great day!

Day 13, 41.9% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Ti Handle, Astra SP #1
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

After a week of Lupo experimentation, I was in the mood for a near-BBS shave with minimal effort. I loaded a fresh Astra into the .84 Game Changer. It's a good match for a new blade.

Autopilot did a lot of the work, and the result didn't disappoint.
