thanks

Nope. Order from TGS or Kent Direct for the best pricing.

Here's a quote from Steve Davis from Kent :

"Here’s some more incentive if you enter GBK1777 in the coupon code 2nd page of the checkout you will receive a 20% discount for this month and maybe beyond for any product but the limited edition brushes."

Try and see if the discount is still effective.

thanks! i'll give that code a try.

If you haven't already pulled the trigger, you might try Ebay. Kent has an ebay store they use to clear merchandise. The place to get Kent shaving soap, but I think they also had a lot of brushes.

i also picked up a chrome shave brush stand that looks like the ones i see everywhere for $15. with the discount it was $3.50!

Bumping this thread to verify that the code still works as I just placed an order with Kent.

Yes, it still works for US customers. However, it no longer works in the UK. Not sure about other places, but I know it has been discontinued for UK customers (per Vanessa at Kent).

The only problem with the code is that it doesn't work with British Pounds. If you switch to USD, the base price of, say a BK4, goes up 5 pounds. I wrote them and they claim it's because the exchange rate varies too much.

[Fergie]

But if you switch to USD, you can't select the UK as a ship-to destination. I emailed Vanessa and she said...


I do not know the answer, but I passed your question over to our web and IT man. He says it was only temporary offer that run for a while and is not running now- sorry.

Kind regards

If I've missed something or if anyone figures out how to make this work, I know of at least one person in the UK who would be most appreciative!

[letterk]

From what I hear, the code was a temporary one. However, because there is only one retailer in the Americas that offers Kent brushes, but mark them up 2x, Kent decided to leave it active for anyone outside the UK. They want to be able to get product in the hands of people, but don't want to undercut their resellers in Europe. So the code lives on, but with limitations.

Thanks, John. At least now I understand their reasoning. Interesting...I would probably have paid Kent's USD list for a brush...but never DOUBLE! I have appreciated their coupon code though...twice! :biggrin:

As for our UK friends...wish we had better news.

Just put order in from Finland and code worked just well. Almost ordered that brush with nearly double price, until I saw this thread.
