This restraint is for October 1-30, 2020. Sorry I'm starting this thread late! If you're seeing this late and you've made no purchases in October, feel free to jump in. Registration closes on the 15th. Have what you need and use what you have: that is our definition of "Restraint". The idea is...

I love October. Not only is it my birthday month, but I also get to participate simultaneously in the shaving trifecta of GRUME, OCtober and Tabactober!
-My neglected Gem 1912 is actually one of my favorite razors
-My synthetic brush (rebranded Muhle) is actually a really good brush
-My tub of AoS isn't a great soap for me, and I know this after giving it an honest shot for a bunch of shaves- It will be going to my parents house for cartridge use
-I go through shaving supplies very slowly
-I still don't like BRUT
Coming to the conclusion that if I want to buy something, I should wait 30 days at least, and if I still want it I should get it. There were things I wanted to buy before I did the GRUME, but I don't want them anymore. I do still want to purchase a bay rum for this winter, and had that thought before the GRUME, so I will purchase a bay rum.
I'll be doing more of these in the future.
Nice chatting with you, gentleman.
Last shave of September. I used my Stirling synthetic instead of dscosmetic, it is a bit smaller, but still a nice brush.
I was thinking about some ,,fancy,, synthetic, like Mühle STF, but...does it have something over my Stirling brush?
A sandalwood September finish. A Shark in the Super Speed, a Chubby 1 in Best loaded with Proraso 'red' soap, and DR Harris Sandalwood after shave. A great way to end a successful month in restraint. Thanks to @FoolishMortal for serving as Clerk of the Works once again.
