The one I used that gave free shipping and a gift may still be active - I can't find it now of course...but it's posted somewhere on this forum
Code is dead, bummer. I am about to just snag one regardless. $30 is not bad for a good shave brush. I am really into face lathering lately...I assume this brush is stiff enough?
PM me. I got a 25% discount code valid until Dec 15. It came in the mail with my name on it but it might be generic and work for you. Out and about right now but back home around 3pm pst if you're interested
Stiff and backbone are not words I would use to describe the Plisson brush. It has very soft bristles which give a great face feel, and I find that if you press into your face a little, the splay is great for face lathering. The lack of backbone isn't an issue for me, so long as I load it with softer soaps/croaps. I don't try and use it on hard puck type soaps. It is a nice addition, and I think you will enjoy.
