Yes. But that's all I'm going to tell for now!

[brucered]

sounds good john. i'll keep checking back.

thanks

[Broogiedad]

John, just a note of thanks for the great service and products. Just received a Simpson Commodore x2 and I love it. I am looking at a 56 or 57. Besides the handle, do they have a similar feel. The x2 is about perfect for me, but I have to have another Simpson now. I have a feeling my son is going to try to take mine back to school at the USAFA with him next week. Thanks again, I'll be placing an order next week (probably Monday).

Glad you like the Commodore. It's a great brush. The 5 series brushes just feel thicker to me, both in the handle and how the knot is formed. They are a heavier brush.

You're welcome!

Sounds great! I'll be placing an order Monday.

Thank you for awesome your awesome customer service. My first order and WCS had everything I wanted at good prices. I ordered soap, merkur razor, razor sampler, and brush and razor stand. Ordered on a Thursday, on Friday I wanted to add a brush but I got my shipping notice before I got in touch with customer service. but Monday customer emailed me and pulled my order before it shipped. I got to order my brush along with everything else. Thank you, I will definitely order from you again.

[Tnxman]

Outstanding store in every way. My trusted place for the shaving goods.

[xraygun]

Thanks so much for the lightning fast service.
I forgot to send blades ahead for my trip to PS. Ordered them Sunday, got them today (Tuesday).

Bravo!

[Austin]

Thanks John!


I just wanted to say that.

[IA_Cabby]

When you guys getting more La Toja sticks? :(

Shipping as we speak.

[Mirrorsaw]

Any idea when you will be getting in the new line of Proraso soaps and creams? (I'm waiting to put in an order, and if it is going to be soon, I think I can wait. Other wise I may just have two orders.)

We've been told sometime in May.

any other simpson brushes headed to WCS (2 band etc) or perhaps Semogue?

Just got the Tulip 4 in stock, but it hasn't made it on the site yet. 7 new Edwin Jagger brushes were just added to the site yesterday.

[Mirrorsaw]

Sweet thanks for the information!

[thatsilverguy]

John,

Are you guys planning to discount Provence Sante again anytime soon?

[letterk]

John,

Are you guys planning to discount Provence Sante again anytime soon?

Maybe. We bought out the stock of another supplier a few years ago and have a pretty large supply still.

[rxonmymind]

Received my order of three pucks today. Thank you.

[sp514]

Just ordered a Duke #2 with some other stuff. Actually, my gf ordered it while I pointed at things I wanted for my upcoming birthday. :biggrin1:

Can't wait!!

[jgriest03]

any update on when the new proraso products will be in stock?

[MoeTrain]

Wondering if the site is doing any fathers day sale?

[letterk]

any update on when the new proraso products will be in stock?

Everything is on order and due soon.


Wondering if the site is doing any fathers day sale?

Trying to figure that out ourselves. Most likely this will deal with new products that we've been adding or will add shortly.

[jwilock]

Just saw a post that said you might have got your hands on some of the 2010 version of the Muhle R41 (the milder one than the current version). If so, do you still have any left?

[letterk]

Unfortunately, no. They were cleaned out very quickly and now we're out for good.

[jwilock]

Just to make sure ... any chance you've got a 2010 R101 or R102?

[letterk]

Just to make sure ... any chance you've got a 2010 R101 or R102?

Nope. We turn out stock very quickly. The only reason the R41 didn't sell is because we didn't see it until a recent inventory count.

[brucered]

right when i'm ready to pull the trigger (got hesitant last time) on a Duke 3...it's OOS.

any idea when some more simpson stuff will be in stock and/or if you are bringing in any other brushes (2 bands etc).

thanks and no rush, i'll probably change my mind again by lunch.

Demand has been through the roof lately and we're trying to get inventory levels back up. The Duke 3 is on order and we should have them shortly. Probably in the next 2 weeks. We just got in 2 new Polo's that will be on the site soon.

[hogateb]

Just wanted to say THANKS! Amazed at the quick order processing, shipping and delivery. Ordered on Friday 7/13, my goodies arrived halfway across the country yesterday 7/16! Used the new razor and cream today for a great shave.

[Lamar]

So I'm making my wish list up in preparation of having a little to spend shortly next month and find I'm up to over 500 dollars worth of merchandise. I think I went overboard.

On another note, Do ya'll plan on stocking Arko? I've heard so many things about it that I was wanting to try it. I saw it at Amazon for over 4 bucks (cheaper to buy a case). I also seen it at Shaveabuck for $1.99 but there isn't enough things I want at that site to get the free shipping.

Glad to hear it got there quickly. We constantly work to improve our shipping time and costs.

I'm sorry, we will not be adding Arko to our product list.

Hi John - Just wanted to say how wonderful your customer service is. I ordered something last week Friday and received it on Monday this week. We'll I've decided to place another order today and chose WCS because of the excellent service and fast shipping last time. You guys do a fantastic job.

Thanks for the compliment, Jeff. It's wonderful to hear when the hard work of our staff is noticed.

Not at this time. We're working on some other razors at the moment.

John, any chance you'd be getting the LEA shave sticks with lanolin?

[letterk]

Yes, we hope to soon.

Great, thanks.

[coolbus18]

just placed my first(small)order with ya'. I really liked the e-mail confirmation that was sent. I like positive. Also like your site, nice stuff.. Enjoy!

[letterk]

Thanks for noticing the email! :biggrin: And thanks for the order.

[superkreep]

Love West Coast Shaving, you guys rock. Thank you for taking care of your customers, and providing great service.

[Brandon Ross]

Hello John- I just recently placed my very first order with your company. The order was delivered in a very timely manner but unfortunately there was a small issue with one of the products I ordered. I sent an email on Friday and just today I heard back from Lili, who was very helpful and fixed the problem. Since I'm fairly new to wet shaving I'm about to make several purchases soon and thanks to this experience I will be using your company for all of them. Thanks for a great customer experience.

[letterk]

Hi Brandon - I'm sorry to hear about the problem with the order (we try to be perfect but haven't made it there yet). I know Lili will make sure everything is taken care of. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to contact me or my staff.

[deezyrocks]

Hello John- I was wondering if there's any timetable on when the next round of B&B boar brushes where going to become available? I am going to place an order for other stuff and would be bummed if the brushes dropped the next day lol.

Very soon. I was waiting to give to our photographer after the 1st, but I'll probably put them up with a less than perfect image this weekend. So, um, I've got a few hundred of them in stock. :biggrin:

[beginish]

John,

Are there any plans to stock the Haslinger Ewe's Milk soap with Lanolin?

[brucered]

John,

Are there any plans to stock the Haslinger Ewe's Milk soap with Lanolin?

if they do, maybe they can make it a B&B LE item, so us Sabbatical entrants can purchase :innocent:

I have a puck of honey waiting to be used, but have very high hopes for it. it's my 1st Haslinger Soap and i hear nothing but praise for this stuff.

I do believe the last one was considered an exemption so better check with the powers that be.

EDIT: haha! Scratch that! Gin and tonic is ruining my posts. Carry on gents.

[letterk]

John,

Already have it in stock. It just needs to make it to the site, along with about 100 other new products.

[Unadan]

Ready to order this weekend or later? Thanks!

[Marcos1]

Is WCS still planning to carry some Shavemac D01 brushes?

[beginish]

Already have it in stock. It just needs to make it to the site, along with about 100 other new products.

Awesome, John. Thanks!

[ryanphonic]

I just can't wait to get my hands on a B&B LE brush! I was a day late for the blue one, and I've been on the waiting list ever since. This will be my first boar (and first brush) and from all accounts it's a steal!

[Clovis Man]

Watching VERY closely!

Oh, please please please, let it be listed today.
Even with a fuzzy picture or handdrawn scribble, just getting the 2nd wave of B&B LE Omegas available for purchase would be a great way to bring in the New Year.

An artist's rendering of what it looks like. I'm with you though; I'm hoping that and the Haslinger's ewe milk/lanolin hits the site before midnight.

[letterk]

Sorry, I ended up taking a couple days off and didn't get them up yet. I'll do so tonight.

[bosenberg]

John, Are you guys going to stock the Proraso Blue?

[letterk]

John, Are you guys going to stock the Proraso Blue?

Yes, working on it. Should have it in a few weeks.

Ack! I need to get that new Haslinger on the site.

[rockviper]

Just received my smoke handled B&B Omege boar. Sweet brush, test lathered already.
What amazes me more than the brush is that it only took 7 days door to door, from California to Toronto, Canada. Gotta be some magic juice in the address label (or Santa is on the payroll in the off-season doing delivery).

Thanks a bunch, John and everyone at WCS!!

[RaiserLiebe]

Oh crap- Missed the Haslinger's ewe milk/lanolin. That came and went fast!!
I put my name on the waiting list and will make my next order when the haslinger's arrives. John, any sense when that will be??
Mike
PS thanks for all the great products and service!

[letterk]

More of the Haslinger is on the way. My guess is it should arrive sometime this week. And yes, it went very fast.

[coolbus18]

A big thanks to to WCS. You responded to member requests for the Haslinger Sheepsmilk mit Lanolin shaving soap and I got my e-mail and I ordered it and its darn good!Phew! It's now in the rotation and will be a re-order. Thanks for adding to my enjoyment of this hobby. :thumbup:

[Chuck Sirloin]

Hey - I just wanted to comment on how great your company is. I bought a few items on a Saturday morning at like 1 a.m. and got them on the following Monday. How is that even possible, lol? Did you beam them thru time and space?
At any rate, they all arrived in perfect condition and I will definitely be back to do future business with you. Thanks VERY much!

[letterk]

That's great! Love to hear the fast shipping stories.

[jpipes3]

Hey John, any idea if/when you might get Speick Active splash and Proraso Blue cream? I have a gift cert to burn!

[letterk]

I know the blue cream is on order. I'll have to see if we can get the Active splash.

[letterk]

Just checked and we do have the Proraso Blue cream in stock. It's just not on the site yet. Probably in the next few days.

[Redzone]

Question, the shopping cart on your site wont allow alcohol based pruducts to be shipped internationally? Never had this issue on any other site. Thanks

[letterk]

Hi Redzone. Yes, DOT regulations do not permit air transit for products that contain alcohol. Many vendors ignore the rules at risk. We don't do business that way and we won't take the risk. The fines can be in excess of $50,000. We can ship via FedEx Express, but it requires a Dangerous Goods surcharge of $80 (it's a FedEx surcharge, not ours). We haven't had a customer willing to pay for that yet, but if you do, just send us an email.

[Redzone]

Thanks for the reply, best I just look at your alcohol free goodies :001_smile

[TonyN]

I took advantage of the free shipping daily deal. 3 pucks of DRH Windsor, a tube of Shulton Old Spice and 4 packs of Polsilver Super Iridium headed my way. I forgot to add the Polsilvers and when I went to place the additional order it did not apply the free shipping. A call to WCS and Kevin took care of it. As usual WCS customer service is great! :thumbup1:

[catherix]

Me too! John rocks. I love free shipping. :001_wub:

[Allegrabene]

I ordered something last night but haven't gotten a shipment confirmation yet. Should I be worried that it might now have gone through?

[letterk]

No, we usually process the confirmation emails in the evening in one batch. We're upgrading our system next week so they should happen real time soon.

[Wyokid]

Very impressed with the speed of your service and prices! Received my order fast via USPS in Arizona! Thanks so much!

[Allegrabene]

I ordered the b&b essential brush on Friday and it showed up yesterday. I requested a picture of the Celtic FC crest be drawn on the box and voila. I'll be shopping only with WCS from now on. That's the coolest thing any retailer has ever done for me and with lightning speed. Great stuff

They have done several drawings for me and others have posted other WCS box art. They are a great group of people and offer service that is second to none.

Sold out now... :(

Can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with WCS. Ordered some stuff on Friday and received on Monday which is awesome for a CA to NJ mailing. Packaging was great, but forgot to request a drawing this time.
