Best online shave shop in the EU?

[eljaydub]

Anyone have a recommendation on which online shave shop has the best prices, selection, and shipping rates in the EU? I've ordered once from shaving.ie in Ireland and it was a good experience but before I put in my next order I want to make sure I'm not missing out on the best deals. I've found a few through google (heldenlounge.de, rasierladen.de etc) but nothing cheaper than shaving.ie yet (they also get bonus points for having a website in a language I understand ).
Anyone have a personal recommendation?

Connaught Shaving. Excellent prices & speedy service, very fair shipping fees calculated on a precise weight basis and (not that it applies to you but...) automatic removal of VAT for non-EU sales.

I also regularly buy my stuff on shaving.ie. Good selection, good prices and fast shipping (4 days to France).

I have also used connaught and I have also had no issues with them.

I was recommended this place in Germany a few days ago. Look like great prices, but I haven't ordered yet so I can't speak for the service.

I like Vintagescent from Portugal.
Nice collection of soaps, creams and brushes.

Also Barbieredifigaro from the Netherlands.
Good collection of soaps, especially the TFS soaps, and good service.

In Germany, the Muhle webshop.
Shipping in Europe is inexpensive, prices for the America's have been reported very high so order when in Europe.

LOL this list is eerily similar to the order I am planning to put in!

Looks like my biggest problem will be choosing whose economy I want to support

I'll put together a few shopping baskets and let you guys know what I find!

It's difficult to use one item as a yard stick, because another site might be more expensive in one or two items, then have great offers on other things on the list. Then of course there's shipping, which can vary dramatically too.

the blades I mentioned called Feather for AC, pro and light, are for the Feather DX or RG or SS Japanese razors. On the German site they're 12 and 13 euros. That's the cheapest I've seen.

love to see what you come up with. I rounded a couple of items up, so I may be off by a couple of euros.

Connaught and Shaving.ie are fantastic, and I use them from here

 

[eljaydub]

Lots of great options out there! I looked at several of the shops but ironically in the end the only one that had everything I had on my wishlist in one place and for the right price was shaving.ie after all! Unfortunately I couldn't complete the order though because I don't want to use my Canadian credit card again so I'll have to link my German bank account to paypal or something.

In the meantime I was going to offer a trade for some of the items I had on my wish list but just found out I have to have 50 posts before I can post in the Mall. Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait but in the meantime if anyone in the EU wants a selection of German shaving creams(all used only once: Irisch Moos, Tabak, Palmolive Classic, Wilkinson Sword, Balea, Nivea) and several wilkinson sword blades (3), total value maybe 20euro, send me a PM. See the photo in my gallery below - we'll call it the 'German drugstore collection'. I'm open to anything but suggestions might be some Proraso blue and red or aftershave splash, or a tub of one of the three T's, or a bulk Feather or Astra pack, or some MWF, or perhaps a selection of creams and aftersahves from your own local drugstore, or whatever! Just thought I'd mention it.

I have bought alot of stuff from gifts&care and it has always worked out very well with shipping here to Sweden.They also replies very fast on emails. The only downside is that some product descriptions is in spanish and/or what not very short.

I have also bought some products from connaught which i have not yet received.. I hope it gets here this week. I mean it´s not that far away and no customs either. I hope it gets here soon enough so i can place another order cause their products and prices are rather nice. But i don´t want to place another order until the first one arrives so i know everything is alright.

For Blades : I use bestshave.net. They have the cheapest rates IMHO and very good shipping prices too.

For AFS, Soaps: I use shaving.ie. I wanted to try MWF and this was available only with Shaving.ie. Shipping was fast and costed me 12:50 Euros to Switzerland with DHL. I am planning to use Connaught Shaving for my future orders.

For Brush: I purchased from Shavemac

International postal service seem to work very well so i wouldn't worry too much, have yet to have a package go missing and i have ordered probably 100 times from different places over the years (no not shaving related stuff only )

Stuff sent from the British isles usually arrives within 4-7 workdays here in sweden, you might have to add a day or two if you live far away from the larger cities.
