Gentleman Restraint for One Month - September 2014 Edition

[kevdogg329]

Welcome to all. Darth Kevdogg is still in.

 

[Clubman4Life]

Okay, a little over 18 hours into the restraint (for my time zone). Here is a story of my sheer will power, unlike my last restraint attempt.
Mrs. Galaktus and I go on a planned day of antiquing. We started out at a flea market, after it got too hot, we went to an antique mall. While I was looking for shaving stuff, I wasn't going to purchase any. I only saw a few straights in mediocre condition, and two single edge safety razors. Then I saw a Old Spice mug, the large coffee mug one. I left it. I wouldn't mind one, but it is Sep. 01. Then I found an OS mug with the clear plastic cover seal still on it, and what appeared to be a full puck of soap in it. Twelve bucks. Only $12.00. Not sure if it was OS soap, the texture appeared to be all powdery and I couldn't tell the what if anything was written on the puck. Didn't have a lot of aroma. That one took some will power to leave. After a while I found three of what appeared to be original, first gen OS mugs, with no ridges in the bottom of the mug.
Shaving stuff, I came home empty handed. But it does feel good. And if it is still there, I will go back Oct 01 or after and maybe get that OS mug and soap.
Let's do this! No shaving stuff till October.

Wow!

 

[SilverHawk]

Well I did some net shopping last night. I bought zip. Have all I need for now

 

[Ulricus]

Welcome to all the new people! I started off he restraint by not shaving!

Since I have enough stuff on hand to get to last through at least 2017, I figure I will give this a run. It might be interesting to not buy anything for a whole month. I haven't purchased anything today so my late entry can hopefully still pass muster.

 

[PhilC]

#34 SOTD simple but a good 'un

Speick Stick
Savile Row 3824
PILS razor with a Feather (4)
Speick Splash

I'm also participating in Speicktember in the cream forum so each SOTD will likely be quite similar.

Thanks Kevdogg, I completely forgot to close it.
No day 1 losses! Keep it up!

Not a problem. Glad to lend a hand wherever I can! You will get the hang of it, like using an SE/Straight Razor!!!

I am tempted by Amazon today.

 

[Ulricus]

Just stay away! Close the tab and run!

Just stay away! Close the tab and run!

I've been all over the BST lately looking for trades! Excellent opportunity to try new things without spending extra money.
