This restraint is for June 1-30, 2016.
All are welcome!
Rules:
1. *No personal shaving purchases. Members may purchase shaving related items for others to encourage the hobby/lifestyle (PIF or Gifting). 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.
2. Members must have the necessary supplies to last the duration of the restraint.
3. GIFT cards (including ebay bucks @kevdogg329 , credit card reward points, etc) cannot be redeemed for shaving items, even if the cards were purchased and/or received in previous months.
4. Any shaving services, like replating or restorations, cannot be paid for in the month of the restraint.
5. If you have to ask, it probably will put you out.
6. Previously questions came up regarding trades, particularly in regards to members who were in the Yearly or Quarterly restraints where trading is allowed. For the Monthly restraint, trading is not* allowed. A month isn't that long to go without something shiny and new.
*Exceptions:
1. Members that have committed themselves and successfully completed the May restraint will be allowed to restock/treewhale on June 1st ONLY. Rid your system of any AD's in preparation for another month.
2. 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).
3. Sue Moore Items are all exempt from the no buying rules. Treewhaling on anything Sue Moore related is HIGHLY encouraged.
4. Members who are in a Quarterly or Yearly restraint are allowed to trade, as per the rules for those restraints.
5. Members who are in a Quarterly or Yearly restraint are allowed to exercise their documented exceptions for those restraints without failing the monthly restraint.
This monthly restraint is perfect for those who have failed the yearly or quarterly sabbatical that want to curb their ADs. We welcome those who fail previous months 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 May 2nd so we can get as many as possible to see the restraint. Afterwards, you can move the thread to Brotherhoods and Clubs.
