just a quick question, im going to london next weekend and plan on visiting all the shave shops i can and i was just wondering if the internet prices are about the same for the real shop counterparts for trumpers et al?
also anything i shouldnt leave london without?
thanks
edit
also is there a thread or section ive yet to notice where i can ask quick questions that dont really warrant an individual thread?

I'm pretty sure B&B members still get a 20% discount with the BB09 code when purchasing online. For me, that makes it cheaper to buy them online than from local vendors, not sure about UK prices. As an aside, I find when I ask the manager of the establishment selling T&H if they will match T&Hs online discount, more often then not they will.

If you live in the states it might be a good idea to grab some of your favorites while you are there. I find lot of the costs of getting European creams and soaps is their international shipping. Even if you buy them from a stateside seller, they had to pay that cost, and are probably passing it along.

This is news to me. Does this only apply when ordering directly from the companies, or is it the other online vendors as well?

Actually, unless I'm mistaken, the code mentioned ONLY applies to Truefitt and Hill online orders. I'm sure somebody else here can chime in to give a definitive answer.

I think the exchange rate is going to kill any savings you might have seen.

This also begs the question, are there any other B&B discount codes I should know about?
