It's actually cheaper than $119 if you check out the thread on http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/315661-That-stupid-Kent-BlK-8!/page3
use code beaut7 and you're looking at $104.77 shipped.
They don't update exchange rates daily. Check your bank account for what you actually payed. When I ordered it was £1 - $1.56, and I believe the brush was £72.25 which without math worked out for about $112 with no coupon code. The coupon code took off roughly £5 or $7 and change.I just entered the code and it says it's $110.86. Was it cheaper earlier?
It's a fantastic brush. I have been enjoying mine for several months. I have the ivory but wouldn't mind having the BLK8 too. Fortunately I don't see the black handle version on their website.
That's why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. The ivory is nice but I really would like the black. Although, it doesn't appear to matter either way according to targa88.
