And wow, are their prices high, over-all. 10% - 25% above what I can find online, and then add sales tax on top of that. I probably won't be buying a whole lot from them.
However, I did get to play with a Progress, Vision and Futur, and I have concluded that I really want the Progress, above the others. I also got to sniff the various software that AOS carries, and discovered that I can't smell anything in their sandalwood cream, the lemon cream is nice, the lavender cream is not bad, and the sandalwood soap smells nice, if light. I also got handed a sample-kit (PSO, unscented cream and unscented ASB) on my way out the door, with a $25 coupon off of any full-size kit.
Now, that all being said, my daughter got me a $40 gift certificate at the store for Father's Day, that I'm still trying to decide what to use for. Rumor has it that she also got a coupon for $25 off of any purchase of $100 or more. If I can use it with the GC, I might get a "traditional shave" and the Progress, and end up paying less for the Progress than I can get it for online... The Progress was about $75 at AOS. The sales lady said that the /s/Futur/Vision was about $250.
Any thoughts on whether I should get the Progress, the shave, or (the obvious choice) both with my GC?
