I was interested when I heard reviews of Xpec, but the price makes me think twice.

It isn't bad if you order it from Europe with decent shipping like from Gifts and Care, about $40 US and then get another 10% off with the B&B coupon. Remember its 250ml of soap, a HUGE container.
I've found rather ordinary in its performance so maybe get a sample from Old Town first.
Cheers, Steve

As you have seen, YMMV.
$37.78 at this time from Connaught. Shipped to the USA.

Yep. Throw a Nuavia in your cart and qualify for free shipping
Yes, I'm an enabler...

Don't forget that XPEC comes in a 250ml tub, twice the size (or more) of many other creams.

Either there's been a run on it lately or XPEC has limited supply right now but the unscented version is out of stock at Bullgoose, Connaught, & Gifts and Care...
If you are considering the scented version I strongly recommend you make sure you like it first. It's not for everyone.

I think I got the last unscented one from Connaught, they are now showing out of stock for both. Bullgoose had a sale: $40 and they went fast. They don't plan on stocking it any more.

Interesting. Do you know why?
I'm fine with the $37. I have plenty of soap and didn't even need the xpec. I think the shipping is about 5 of that. Funny thing is dudes on ebay will charge $10 shipping from one state away and Connaught charges about 5 from the UK.Yep. Throw a Nuavia in your cart and qualify for free shipping

On this thread XPEC on Clearance at BullGoose -It Must Go! Phil said that sales were stagnant and it is too expensive to risk it going bad on the shelf. When he sold it for $40 it was gone really fast, but he said someplace else that U.S. vendors can't buy it direct so he can't keep selling it at that price.

Thanks for the link. Must be hard to compete when U.S. buyers can get it overseas shipped for about 1/2 what U.S. retail is.
Connaught's shipping is a deal

Same for ABC, the cream is right at $80 in the US but you can get it for a little less than $50 delivered from G&C using the B&B or G&C coupon.

I just got 51.55 Euro (about $59) for ABC on G&C with the B&B coupon. Still pretty good. Thanks Steve.
The title of this thread should be changed to enablement.

You're welcome sir! Yeah I usually order two at a time and that helps on the shipping.

No, for the money Art of shaving, Truefitt & Hill and St. James of London perform and smell much better.
True. I didn't really even think about that.
Email from Connaught says it shipped. I guess I got the last one, it was listed as out of stock right after my order was placed.
No, it isn't worth the full or discounted price that I paid from Bullgoose. Also, the unscented did go fast at Bullgoose the scented was still available a week later when I purchased and of course a day later it was out of stock. It is a decent soap with decent performance but just not exceptional. At first I couldn't put my finger on what the Original smelled like then I remembered I had a dentist appointment coming up and bingo, it smells like my dentist office. That medicinal, sterile, Novocaine, or whatever you call the dentist office smell. It is not the best performing soap I have and not the worst but just not worth the price full or discounted.
