Success in September with Speick cream. I also finished the full tube today. I knew it's coming, so I was streching it a little to not switch to another soap on the last shaves of the month

I've been in the zone with The Fat for most of this month so I decided to sign up for my debut SOTMC. To keep things even more interesting I'm in the October GRUME as well.
Fingers crossed I can actually complete both....
