TOBS creams for $11-12 on Amazon?

**bnndx2** · 05-07-2010, 05:41 PM

What am I to think of a vendor charging prices that low?

**DunEdinRanger** · 05-07-2010, 06:05 PM

Old Stock?

**bnndx2** · 05-07-2010, 06:32 PM

Should I pass it up?

Sounds fair, since West Coast Shaving charges $14 for the cream. However, I would recommend paying the two extra bucks for WCS's stock since shipping will probably be cheaper, and WCS is a vendor that supports the site and what not.

$6 shipping charge.

Would that apply per tub or if I were to order 2? Most vendors keep the shipping the same for 2 tubs.

Shave and Fragrances Co.

I noticed that an Amazon vendor was selling TOBS cream cheap a month ago, so ordered some up. TOBS sandalwood for $11, Avocado for $12, and so on. The stuff is legit, not old stock as I have used these in the past and would know. So it is a legit deal, you just have to spend $30 to get the free shipping--code is on the order page.

One thing I did notice about the Avocado is it seems to have a slightly more floral scent. Performs the same. The sandalwood is great, of course.

They also carry GFT creams and soaps.

You can ignore that part of you.

Seriously, I only sell Snake Oil and majic pixie dust.
(I have no connection to the vendor. But I do know a good deal.)

Lets say I order 2 tubs of TOBS will they apply the same $6 shipping rate to both or per tub?

Are those the new "paraben-free" reformulation? I don't have a particular preference for a paraben-free TOBS cream, but it would indicate that that vendor is selling new product since, if I recall correctly, they reformulated just recently.

I'm heading over to Amazon now to see if they have any Eton College (one of my favorites).

Three bowls for ~$34 w/ free shipping or two bowls for $23+6 = $29.
Get a third tub for $5.

And on the shipping question it should show you if you add them to the cart and go into checkout... it should give you the shipping options and the price.

During reformualtion, did they state they were taking the parabens out?

Just checked the labels. The avocado is paraben free (no methylparbens listed anyway) not so with the Sandalwood or Almond, tho the Sandalwood has the new container. And even tho they may have reformulated, the presence of parabens does not indicate old stock--it may take quite a while for the newer stuff to work its way through channels, depending on stock levels, and vendors tend to pre-announce that type of thing.

Some of the tubs have TOBS molded into the plastic along the rim, so they have to be newer stock. EDIT: Newish stock.

Here's a link to the thread I referenced. http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthr...taylor+paraben

From what you have said, it sounds like that vendor is selling good product, and for a low prices! Sounds like a deal to me.

Thanks, I totally missed that thread. It looks like the addition of "Taylor of Old Bond Street" to the container happened last year--so these containers are not strictly new then, as I thought. So the containers that don't have it are not brand-new-off-the-line stock.

Good info and thanks for the link!
