After having enjoyed our relationship with Floris of London for several years, we have just been informed that their new US distributor will no longer ship to us due to our lack of a “brick and mortar” establishment. Accordingly, our remaining inventory of Floris products is being sold off at the deep discount of 40% off the MSRP.

Unfortunately, this decision was made before our order of the new line of the No. 89 products was shipped. However, while supplies last, all orders of $100 or more of Floris products will include four (4) sample vials of the No. 89 EDT.

That's a bit of a shame. The fact that I'm well stocked on Floris and out of work will keep me from buying But I'll certainly give a plug fwiw...

To me, Floris is some of the best stuff out there. Period. The Vetiver EDT is fantastic. The Limes EDT is the best simple citrus scent I've ever come across. Floris soaps are really great too. If you can, you guys should jump on this.

Why do you need a brick and mortar store, if you are making them money, why should they care?

It’s difficult to understand why some business decisions are made, particularly in this case when I had an advocate on the inside from the previous organization. However, the decision was made and I have to move on. I will be introducing another line next week that I hope you will find to be of equal interest.

Just a reminder for our friends "up north" that our well received Canadian shipping program is still in place, which allows up to ship you product containing alcohol. The details of this program can be found on our site or at the following link --> http://www.vintagebladesllc.com/docs...ing_022608.PDF

If you want some help keeping this product line in stock maybe you could give us an email address to correspond with and we can say if we cant buy from you, we wont.

Our thanks to all of you for helping us move out our remaining inventory of the Floris line. We really hate to see it go, but we have to make room for the new lines we are bringing in. You have probably seen the first with the introduction of our line from The Gentlemens Refinery.

I am trying to update the Floris inventory on the site most evenings. However, our supply of most forms of Elite is nearly exhausted. The good news is that we have a large supply remaining of:

o JF shaving cream
o JF shaving soap in wooden bowls
o JF shaving soap refills
o Special No. 127 EDT
o Vetiver EDT
o Limes EDT

Most other products are down to the last few pieces.

I hope you will help us move out the rest. Otherwise, my Christmas shopping will have been made very easy this year.

As to the offer to help fight the battle with the distributor, thank you. They have made a business decision. I obviously don't like it and do find it somewhat self-serving, but it's been made and now it's time to move on. To survive in this business you have to adapt. I intend to survive.
