**randomtw** · 06-24-2006, 05:53 PM

does anybody have any recommendations on where I can purchase both the merkur hd and the c&e best badger brush together for a reasonable price?

I don't think there's a place that sells them together. You can get the HD from qedusa.com or classicshaving.com You can get the C&E Best Badger Brush from C&E online.

anybody know any retail stores that sell both? something that isn't just a small shop but would more likey appear almost everywhere?

otherwise i would have to pay the shipping cost twice :(

No such thing.

However, your local mall might have a Crabtree & Evelyn store and perhaps a tobacco or cutlery store which *might* carry Merkur razors.

Where do you live?

They have a cutlery store near the food court area in Valley Fair. I remember seeing straight razors there. They might carry DE razors. There's also a C&E store in Valley Fair.

I live on the Peninsula...You should be able to find a C&E on your side of the Bay. Maybe you can call C & E and they can tell you the nearest retail location, or check with Malls close to you. If not, there is a C & E at Stanford shopping center in Palo Alto. I would call first to make sure that they have the brush in stock just in case.

As for the razor it might even be cheaper paying the shipping. I happened to be at Hillsdale mall last night in San Mateo and was looking at their razors. Prices were as follows...

Merkur HD $40 vs. $28 at QED
Progress $60 vs. $39.50 at QED
Futur $75 vs. $52 at QED
Vision $169 vs. $99 at QED

They even had 2 slant bars...same razor...one for $42...the other $44?

So even when you take into account shipping you are still ahead...if you do go to Stanford they have a L'Occitane store a couple shops down from C&E.

Good Luck!

Obviously, you need to buy them separately, and then to justify the double shipping to yourself, you'll need to add lots of other items to your orders....
