I just checked the Fine Accoutrements website.. their American Blend is my achilles heel! But NOPE! This is the quarterly restraint I will complete. I'm secretly hoping my wife peeks in my medicine cabinet to see which aftershave I like the most.. No hints will be dropped from me!

Hi,
I am strong with the Force. This is quarterly restraint number 5 in a row for me. No way am I going Out. Not even for ATT OC Slant serial number One. This is doubly sure since it would also put me Out of my first yearly restraint. And, I am way too far along in that one to drop now!!
Stan - Still In!

I figured they would not trust me with that.......I'm shocked they trust me with the Quarter and Monthly ones.

My Stirling order arrived today, with two extra bath samples! Rob is a great guy, and all the scents smell amazing. If I don't eat the orange, Almond, or black cherry, I will be sure to report on its quality. My wife says that 'pig trail' smells like Coca Cola to her.
For shaving I have vanilla sandalwood and two samples - Barbershop and Autumn. The other day I said I would 3017 my razorock but now I'm not so sure. Haha!

I've got a few of those bath soaps, They're very nice. You're sure to enjoy them!
Kev, you crack me up. 
I guess now you don't need to worry about whether one successful restraint a Jedi doth make.
Great shave today. I'm doing things a little differently on my neck, and it seems to be working.

Whil you are waiting for your big boy pants to come back, go buy something and enjoy the winds of freedom
Kev,
You really are the sith Lord aren't you? I needle the folks who are tempted, but you practically steal their wallet and place the order for them!
Awesome SOTD today
Sticking true to my mini 3017, I did NOT use my new Stirling but continued on XXX. Great performance and scent. Astra continues to be a great blade for me, and finished with Mr. Taylor balm. Nice astringent from the witch hazel but no menthol on a breezy day like today!

#33 still in. Just put a couple things in my Amazon cart but took them out before I checked out. Not going out for Pinaud aftershave!
SOTD:
Gillette New SC w/ Indian Wilk Sword (3)
B&B Essential
Suavecito Shave Cream
Krampert's Bay Rum AS
I think I'm about 50% through my Suavecito at this point and enjoy it but I don't think I'll be purchasing it again. The Indian Wilkinson Swords are definitely serving their purpose and for a comparable price to my favorite Personna Lab Blues. Just takes a little palm stropping before I load it up to ensure it's smooth. Maybe palm stropping is a mental thing, but I'm don't think twice about it anymore with these blades.

How do you like the Indian wilkinson swords? Would you consider buying them in bulk? i think they are excellent blades and an excellent value for money! Not the sharpest blades, but smooth.
Socialjunk95 still out.
SOTD :
Edwin jagger de89
Gillette Indian blacks (super platinum)
Godrej shaving round
Omega 10049
Alum + gatsby musk.
The good thing about godrej shaving round is that it is so mildly scented that I can follow it up with any aftershave of my choice!

Add some Fine to the cart, some soap, and a razor or 2 to justify the purchase.

I sense a major treewhale coming from one still in restraint......who could it be?
Not all can stay in their shackles for one more month.
