GRUME-friendly PIF: APSC G5C Brush (ends 7/25)

[FoolishMortal]

[My apologies to those hereby excluded, but this is North America-only.]

This PIF is open to all (in North America), including GRUME participants, because there's a small catch. More on that later.

Through the great generosity of @tjsgarden, I've been able to try this APShaveco G5C 26mm synthetic fan knot "Lemon Drop" brush for a while. However, I have plenty of brushes and this one deserves a place of prominence in someone (else's) den. After discussion with John, we decided it was a fine candidate for a PIF.

To enter this PIF:

1. State that you're "in"
2. Pledge to start a PIF thread of your own if you win, giving away something of equal or greater value

#2 is why this is okay for GRUME participants. We try to keep from acquiring stuff, so this would be a "one in, one (or more) out" situation, maintaining balance.

Entries must be posted by EOD on the 25th of this month. The winner will be announced on/around the 26th of this month. The brush will be shipped once the winner has posted their own PIF thread.

Good luck! And, hey, even if you don't win, you can consider this as a hint to thin your own den.

Great looking brush and nice of you to give this one away!

I am out… as like you, I have lots of brushes.

I have been eyeing that exact brush for a while.
I am in if it is open to those of us outside the CONUS.

I will put together a full starter set of gear, razor, brush, soap(2) and some blades.

Be well
Jay

Stunning brush! Excellent PIF @tjsgarden and @FoolishMortal.

Not in as I am NOCONUS

Same here, no CONUS. Great PIF by the way.

1. I am IN
2. I have been wanting to start a GRUME-Friendly PIF for some time now

*edit - I like this concept, I could see this going for some time

Respectfully not in this generous PIF, Sir, my two Noble Otter brushes are all that I need at this time.

It's a bit like a mixture of PIF and trade, in which you're receiving from one person and giving to another. it would be great if this idea grew legs and ran.

Gorgeous looking brush (and I do need to start a PIF), but I am all brushed up and I can't justify adding a single new one to the den.

 

[kaufdrop27]

I’m in and will be sure to pay it forward if I win. Thanks for the opportunity

Do previous PIFs count? Asking for a friend.

@FoolishMortal is this going to be USA only or open to all.
Curious as if open to all I will get started putting something together. I am in Canada and dont have a problem shipping outside of Canada.

Be well
Jay

I set it up for North America, so Canada is included (along with Alaska, Hawaii, and so on).

Not in, but very generous!

I can see this snowballing into a "Survivors of GRUME pass around box"!

 

[voluble]

I'm in. Thank you

I am also besotted (a new werd for me! SO HAPPY!) with brushes. I'm not sure what besotted means, in all honesty; I mostly like the way that werd tastes, so I am a fraud, and do not deserve such an absolutely beautiful brush!

I really wish I was deserving, because I could see myself sleeping with that brush under my pillow! Brush Blessings to All,

Dave, the Tanned Farmer

Hahahahano.

I like this idea of trading/sharing among fellow GRUMEers.
Here is the rule from our guidelines:

5. You are encouraged to engage in trades (especially with each other)

I am thinking about posting a PIF razor using Brandon's criteria.
GRUMEers in Europe and elsewhere could post a PIF specific to your region.

 

[Vraad]

I'm in
I'd probably Pif this brush I love the handle but 26mm maybe too big, but I'd love to try the g5c, if it's a keeper I've got soaps that need go

If you win, you post a PIF of equal/greater value, and then I send the brush. Whether or not you keep the brush is irrelevant.

So, with that in mind...in or out?
