[scoopster]

Could everyone who has had the following error PM me so we can keep track of you folks. Let me know what country you are trying to have the brush shipped to.

Delivery method
Sorry, there are no available shipping methods for your location.

As I have yet to heard a definitive response from the powers that be regarding this order - is there anyone out there who would be willing to order an additional brush for me? - For which I shall immediately send you a Money Order.

(I would order this item myself but I do not use a bank account)

Please feel free to PM me or send an email to [email protected]

We're short 50 brushes in butterscotch, 23 in Ebony. We're checking with the manufacturer to see if we can work out some sort of an exception. If we can get 20 more in butterscotch, Nick and I will pop for the additional 30 and cover the cost and have the inventory.

I'm still interested, but will be heading for the beach in Thailand next week and only shaving (and online intermittantly)

Probably shipping to Australia was configured properly in the e-commerce, our locations weren't.

I've sent PMs to Joel and Nick, but judging by their post count not changing recently, they have been enjoing skiing or something similar

Both of these issues require changes made in the cart's settings, which can and will be done. If you've posted here about cart issues, don't worry, despite the looming deadline, you WILL be able to place your order, even if we have to get you sorted out after the ordering window closes.

If we do not hit the minimum for Ebony will we be given the option to go Butterscotch or decline? If we don’t hit either does this go to vote or default to which ever is closer?

I might be wrong here, but I think there are more people wanting Butterscotch, something like 2 to 1. I think the issue with the manufacturer (Kent) is that Butterscotch is not part of their normal manufacturing - therefore a higher unit number would be required of Butterscotch than ebony to justify the mechanical set up and down time required for a base colour change????

Thus, Butterscotch = more rare Change to Butterscotch you ebony orderers

[NRK]

If you look under the shopping tab you can see the number of available units under each color. They started counting down from 1000 available, so I would assume there are 85 black brushes ordered and 149 butterscotch brushes. I guess we'll know in the next couple of days how it's all going to play out, but I would suspect it's going to be easier to get 15 butterscotch buyers (10%) to switch to ebony, than it would be to get 51 ebony buyers (60%) to switch to butterscotch. Not that I have any input in the decision, that's just my two cents.

[NRK]

A few weeks ago I asked a question about the possibility of getting a color that you didn't order, this is how it was addressed.

There are three weeks left, and most fellas don't order until the end. You'll only get what you order, so no worries. If there aren't enough butterscotch, or ebony brushes purchased (there's a 200 minimum for butterscotch and a 100 minimum for ebony) to make the custom order, then the whole project is a bust for that one color and we refund everyone their $ who ordered that color. If there is still one color to be made folks will have the option of switching to that color.

Hope this helps,

I ordered ebony, but I am willing to be switched over to butterscotch if doing so will help to get the numbers where they need to be to get at least one color of the brush manufactured.

good lord, what a convoluted ordering process... no wonder why the minimums haven't been hit, especially that confusing note about 2008 brushes ordered with paypal will be cancelled. Did that really need to be there?

Thanks to StillShaving for the tutorial, I've ordered one in butterscotch.

[napoleon]

Will you guys say, when the orders finish, how many brushes will be made?
I have an image of myself in 50 years time giving the brush to my grandchildren saying- "This is one of 549 brushes ever made"

Great, thanks Nick!

I agree about the convoluted ordering process. Whew!! I think I got it right, at least B&B has a PayPal deposit from me, but man did I have to back track and un-track a lot before things looked right to me.

Butterscotch it is

If neither minimum is met, maybe we can combine orders and get the chartreuse hue option for a real morning eye opener ?

[benvh]

I ordered ebony but would be willing to switch over to butterscotch if necessary.

Man, looks like everyone is jumping ship. Not me, ebony or bust. Hopefully everyone manages to get what they want.

[Jerry10016]

I just tried to order a butterscotch but the order window is gone. Am I too late?

[scoopster]

No announcements yet about the cutoff so order away folks!

I tried to look and I don't see the brushes available.
