    I have read that you can get it from the Shea Moisture website for 12 bucks including shipping

    That's how I got mine. Less than 2 bucks shipping and arrived in 2 days. Hardly seems worth the wild goose/Target chase...

    Thank you again for picking me one up! I'm in love with this brush! Lathers so quickly compared to my Omega boar! As you guys mentioned, a little pokey on the face but is much softer than what I'm used to! :D

    I stopped by my Target and there are 12 in stock. If anyone wants one I can pick you up one for no profit, just cover taxes and fees etc, should be ~$12 if shipped to US addresses. If you are out of the US, let me know and I can let you know what shipping is after sending and we'll make up the difference.

    Hell, if thats all it took I'da gotcha one years ago! You know I'm kiddin' Dad, I love you too! I'm glad you like it, it'll even break in a tiny bit too and the tips will soften up a iddy bit and be less scritchy after a month or so.

    Yes, Target carries this brush now and a tub of Shea brand shave cream. I'd say for the price it's better than the CVS model or a tweezerman.
     
  12. The brush is great, but stay away from the cream. It (ironically for something marketed next to a brush) doesn't lather, clogs drains, and smells awful.

    thanks for the advice! LOL sounds awful.

    What is even harder to understand it Wally World carries the cream, balm, and bump fighter, but no brush...

    Furthermore, and I ask this question because I am too lazy to look it up..why is it called African black soap? Or is that a misnomer? Is it made in Africa? But yet it is not black, it is yellow...

    For what it's worth, I found one at a Target in Austin TX.

    8601 Research Boulevard
    Austin, Texas 78758
    (512) 837-5163

    As I was walking down the shave aisle I saw the cream & the spot for the brush but no brushes. I was annoyed since this was the 2nd Target I visited. As I reached the shelf the bugger had fallen flat & was the last one waiting just for me.

    I must say, since I have become aware that traditional shaving yields a better shave (in theory, I have not yet tested this conjecture) it is rather disheartening walking through the shave isle of any store & finding virtually no supplies for such a shave. I cannot wait to cram my fusion up Gillette's rear & see how they like their ingrown hairs.

    Thank you, gentlemen, for the recommendation. Brush completed; next: razor & soap.

    Wow, they really upped the shipping. When I ordered mine a couple of months ago, the shipping was only $1.69 for UPS ground. I would not enjoy paying $7.50 shipping for this item.

    Because it isn't worth it or because you know it can be had for $12ish? I personally think that for <$20 it is still a good brush. I'm cheap too.:D
