So it sounds as if their July discount was not extended to August? Sorry mate, I imagine 20% off is not an insignificant sum on a Hart. :( Chin up though, I bet if you are patient an even better discount may arise sometime in the future!Quote:

Yes fairly significant.Quote:

That's a tough one for me as people who wait for sales and people who don't, are breads of their own.Quote:

It's all philosophy.
Yeah in B school they try to tell you to let customers know that there will be a sale next month so the client can prep for it and hopefully spend their "consumer surplus" on other items. If you have the money even advertise that you are going to have a sale. But if someone comes back proving they bought the item just days before and were not informed to just go ahead and give them the savings... if you have competent managers who know how to run a till arg!!Quote:

Or some BS like that. Everyday low prices is an other tactic that seems to be working well for some... low end vendors.
Yeah - I was one of those day or two late guys... 20% off in bold print... and I didn't realize 'oops, it's August, you idiot' till the razor was in checkout. I'll be waiting until they're on sale again, but I doubt they'd be able to do any better than 20% off on the Hart razors.
Classic normally shows a monthly discount code % on their facebook page. I believe it is available for purchases over
$100. As for "sales" on certain items for a limited time that seems to be the norm with wet shaving suppliers.
Here's one I think you'll like:Quote:
