February 2025 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

[Roedeer]

Day 27, 96.4% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.76 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #2
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

I used the .76 plate this time. The blade had smoothed out, for an easy DFS. If all I wanted was a good autopilot shave every day, this plate would do the job.

Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.76 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #3

I stayed with the .76 plate. It's very comfortable, especially ATG which is where I'm going to do the damage, if any.

Got an easy near-BBS.

Congratulations if you made it to the finish line. I hope to see some of you over on the March GRUME.

 

[BradWorld]

Made it. On to March!
