Still a couple of days to go in June, however, is the July thread already open?

Soon. I was camping for the week.Still a couple of days to go in June, however, is the July thread already open?
Happy shaves!
It sounds like you bought something (needed) during the re-stock day, gave it to your nephew and got Proraso in return. If I'm understanding correctly, I think that's fair dinkum.June 1st I was planning to restock a bottle of Nivea Sensitive Cool balm but couldn't find it here in Sweden, so I bought this one instead.
A few days ago I found an online retailer that had the Sensitive Cool in stock.
Today I gave the other bottle to my nephew, so far so good.
But in return he gave me a tub of Proraso soap he's not using.
I think i'm good according to rule 5, but you'll be the judges.
5. You are encouraged to engage in trades (especially with each other), but don't enter any PIFs. Signing up for a product waitlist (without placing a deposit) is acceptable.
I will restock the Sensitive Cool balm July 1st.
If this is ok I'm still in, if not I'm out for the rest of the month.
If it was an unsolicited gift - even if it was a "get what you want" - you're good.Happy Father’s Day to all B&B dads! As a gift, my wife surprised me with an order for a new ‘wish list’ razor. Does that mean I’m out?
As @JAHE said, you're good.Still In, I think? I did receive 2 Tabac pucks from my son, who also wet shaves. I introduced him to it for his birthday last September. The gift was not hinted at, but I think my wife told him that I had been using Tabac lately. I did give him two soaps and two aftershaves, Moonsoaps Havanna and Stirling Executive Man!
I haven't shaved yet today but will post a pic when I do!
As @Heavy_Metal_Hound said, you can buy for need. Are you calling yourself in or out?I’m out. Looked at the price of purchasing more blades and found prices jumped almost $10 per 100. Found one place that still had packs for almost normal price and bought them. Only bought the one pack I needed but purchased none the less.
If it were an official group buy, it would be allowed. Just sayin'...I think Doug would all knock us out of GRUME if he offered such a wonderful handle to this group! I personally prefer slightly heavier handles although that’s based on zero comparison to light handles, because I don’t have any…
Design and look-wise I would be out the moment this would be up for sale. Plain and simple. Wonderful build Doug! @Rosseforp and enjoy your new handle Hannes @Multum in parvo!
Looking forward to the first posts in this thread or elsewhere on the forum.
Best,
Guido
No regrets on a special purchase - that's in the spirit of GRUME as far as I'm concerned. I hope that handle treats you well! And, of course, we would love to see pics when you get it!Quick morning shave & I’m out!
Doug @Rosseforp agreed to turn one of his great GTS handles for me and I will pay it today.
Super excited and no regrets

Hey, welcome back, I missed you!Sorry for the huge line-up of posts, but this is what happens when I'm off B&B for a week!
The good news is that we lost only one during that time, though there are a few "maybes" in the mix. For now, this is what we have:
