Are your various shaving ADs out of control? Swore you had enough gear and software to last? But still keep buying?
If so, the February restraint is perfect for you.
This restraint is for February 1-29, 2016.
All are welcome!
Rules:
*Exceptions:
This monthly restraint is perfect for those who have failed the yearly or quarterly sabbatical that want to curb their ADs. It'll also be a great way for those of us foolhardy enough to have started a new quarterly or yearly sabbatical with the turn of the new year.
We welcome those who fail every month and want to give it another shot, even those that fail on the second day of the restraint.
Remember everyone, it is normally harder than it sounds, so keep fighting the urge!
Leaders will check in for roll call at some points of the restraint. Anyone else that wants to assist with this effort is welcome.
Mods:
We humbly request you leave this thread in the General Shaving Discussion forum until February 2nd so we can get as many as possible to see the restraint. Afterwards, you can move the thread to Brotherhoods and Clubs.

This restraint is for February 1-29, 2016.
All are welcome!
Rules:
- No personal shaving purchases.* Members may purchase shaving related items for others to encourage the hobby/lifestyle. However, members are not allowed to request any form of compensation in return. Please use your best judgement. Also, no sampling / testing of those gift items permitted.
- Members must have the necessary supplies to last the length of the restraint.
- GIFT cards cannot be redeemed for shaving items (even if the cards are from previous months).
- Any shaving services, like replating or restorations, that are paid for in the month of the restraint will cause you to fail the restraint.
- If you have to ask, it probably will put you out.
*Exceptions:
- Members that have committed themselves and successfully completed the January restraint will be allowed to restock/treewhale on February 1st ONLY. Rid your system of any AD's in preparation for another month.
- Members may participate in B&B Group Buys or B&B branded shaving item purchases, because these may be limited items and all support this common ground. They must be advertised on behalf of B&B to qualify. In an effort to stay true to restraints commitments, please limit B&B purchases to one (1) shaving item per month, including contributions to B&B! (All Non-Shaving B&B items are fair game).
- Sue Moore Items are all exempt from the no buying rules. Treewhaling on anything Sue Moore related is HIGHLY encouraged.
