Group Buy allowable???

I wasn't sure if the forum rules allow group buys here or not, so I thought I would ask. Are they? It seems to be a common practice on several other forums so I thought it might be ok here as well.

The specific item that prompted the idea for me is MWF soap. Based on the rave reviews, I'd like to give it a try, but as a beginning shaver, was a little taken aback at the price. I then noticed in another post that it is available at a discount when purchased in quantity. Having never tried MWF before(and seeing that some folks have a hard time with it), I wouldn't want to purchase the required quantity on my own, but perhaps others would be willing to go in together to reach the required quantity??

Thoughts???

Group buys by members are NOT allowed. You can bring the issue to a mod to request to have it officially sanctioned or you can just do it via PM between members but in the open forum, please no group buy arrangements to be made.

Very good, thank you sir! Is there a specific moderator who arranges these things, or a thread to request them?

There are no threads created for this, instead just shoot a PM to any mod (light blue) or senior mod (dark blue) and the mod will take it from there and will be in contact with you about it. :)

The minimum shipping makes it quite pricey to the States. Just had a look and it came to just over $53.28 at current exchange for one with bowl, $39.55 for a puck. I can see why a group buy would be more interesting.

If I was in the UK, perhaps... I can't see spending almost 50.00 USD (including shipping) on one of my first soaps that I may or may not like. Just not in my budget. Thankfully I have received a pm about a wait list for a US distributor. That will be acceptable for me. :)

Thank you for the idea though.


**EDIT**

I see others have made the same observation. I apologize for repeating their posts.

If you shop around you can get it for a decent price. Especially if your heart is not set on having the MWF ceramic bowl.

I've ordered a couple of times from this guy. He'll ship you one puck if that's all you want, $10 including shipping to US from UK Mitchell's Shaving Soap Refill 125g

Hello, WebsII:

I have bought many products from Connought Shaving in England, to which our good friend hoglahoo has provided a link. The prices are good and the service excellent.

Regards,

Obie

Wingham is apparently no option if you get paid in USD. For us Europeans GBP is really cheap.

westcoastshaving has the refill puck for $13.. that's not bad when you take into account it'll be lasting you forever.. you could easily shave daily for 2 years on one puck..

Yup, that's where I got on the waiting list. Annnnnndddd while browsing around, picked up a new brush, two varieties of bay rum, and several other soap. Glad my better half approves of my new obsession!! :D
