That's what I chose to do, though I gave myself a few days because I wasn't sure when I would recieve the invoice for my aristocrat being plated.Another successful month. Thanks to all for the support, and congratulations to all who made it through August. I'm skipping September in order to buy PdP No 63 soap and EdT. I also want Penhaligon's Sartorial EdT. Technically, I'll be out of restraint for less than 10 minutes... just long enough to make these well considered purchases. These restraints have given so much to me. I'll be back in October. I should probably make the purchases tonight, wash out of August at the last minute, and then start September in restraint. That seems somewhat like a bit of casuistry, almost like gaming the system. What think you?
If I was in your situation I would blow out in August (today) and join back tomorrow (Sept 1). Only because I personally enjoy the lively banter and hanging out with this abstaining bunch of knuckleheads.Another successful month.

I know. I just don't want to abuse or take advantage of the system that has been so good and helpful for me personally. What do you think, @FoolishMortal?If I was in your situation I would blow out in August (today) and join back tomorrow (Sept 1). Only because I personally enjoy the lively banter and hanging out with this abstaining bunch of knuckleheads.
There is indeed a restock period. But I'm neither out of soap nor cologne. I've got more of each than the Taliban has war materiel. These would be new products altogether.Isn't there a "restocking period" tomorrow for those that completed the GRUME today? I could swear that restocking after a successful GRUME is not a violation of the next one.
That said, another successful GRUME for me today. That's three in a row and no need to restock and no urge to splurge.

One course of action keeps you out of GRUME for a day, the other keeps you out for a month. I would lean toward the "day" option and feel just fine about it, especially considering your overall success with restraint.Another successful month.
