11. matwho-no exception
12. dkeester - Birthday buy in August (Rockwell 6S, or razor(s) of equivalent cost)
13. Claudel Xerxes - Shavemac brush
14. AZBronco - SE razor (i.e. Mongoose, Above the Tie, or equivalent)
15. 999mor - no exception
16. Doofus - only if by chance aos releases a new gillette de in that period.

So far we have 12 No Exceptions and 4 With an Exception - nice!
[MENTION=108562]dkeester[/MENTION], your birthday razor will either be a Rockwell 6S or equivalent razor? The exception is for one named item so you can't buy multiple razors if you don't get the Rockwell - sorry 'bout that.
[MENTION=76826]AZBronco[/MENTION], would your SE equivalent to a Mongoose or ATT be a vintage razor or another modern razor company? Just want to try and narrow that down a bit.
[MENTION=104903]doofus[/MENTION], I'll just put you down for an AOS release Gillette. If it's released, great. If not, hopefully next time.

Here's an updated list. Someone correct me if they see something amiss - thank you.

I'm thinking modern that accepts the AC blade. I actually saw the RR Hawk and love the price.

Been a while, but I'll join in. Got a new Rudy Vey coming in to replace my current badgers and will move all my boars except one. I might make a couple purchases beforehand (aftershave and I have to check my blade stash).

Exception is a Rudy Vey brush. The one in the mail is 2-band silvertip and I'll probably get a matching finest or 3-band.

I love my Rudy Vey brush, with a Envy White Supreme knot in it. Works flawlessly. Which handle did you get?

Chief in white zebra:

Someone add me in with exception of DR Harris or Fine soap 1 puck?

Will this thread be moved to clubs once the restraint starts?

I believe it will be moved after the restraint starts.

Thank you.

19 members signed up so far with 5 days until we begin! Although I understand a few of you are in the yearly as well, so for some it's more of a continuation rather than a beginning.

Should I mention there will be a pif on the very first day of the restraint?

You're getting wild now, Brian!

A little something to wean us off the RAD.

Hi,

For those who don't know, I am in the Yearly for the third straight year. When this year's GRUC starts, it will mark the actual end of Year Three for me. I am sure y'all have guessed by now that I got a *tad* carried away at one point, hence the rather longish period of restraint.

Originally, I started in 2014 with exceptions, trades and PIFs. For 2015, I had an exception which I did not exercise and also did not trade for anything. For 2016, I am running without any way of acquiring anything. So, not only No Exception, but No Trades and staying out of PIFs as well.

So....I hope this Starting PIF isn't *too* good!

Stan - Still In

Made my last purchase (I think) before the restraint. A bottle of Pinaud Citrus Musk to accompany the C&E West Indies Lime soap I'll start next month, a barbershop handle Plissoft to replace my short handle one, and a 12-pack of Arko sticks so I can make test lathers without wasting good soap!
