Per the link above...
"We recently received a query via the contact form on this site with regard the upcoming release and our policy on multiple brush purchases. I recognized the name and email address as matching to an individual who has been re-selling Paladin shaving brushes on eBay at prices considerably higher than those we ask. My reply is pasted in below.

We do not have a policy to limit purchases on our website to one brush; however, we regard with disfavor buyers who have taken advantage of our limited production by racing to purchase brushes from releases with an intent to re-offer them on eBay or elsewhere at large mark-ups. We believe in free-markets, but that's entirely beside my point.

We have maintained pricing at the same levels since last year, not because we're already living high-on-the-hog and don't care about improving returns on the time and money we put into making Paladin shaving brushes, but rather out of consideration for hopeful customers who have been waiting a long time to buy one.

It might look good for us when brushes we've made are being re-sold at very high prices, but it's not in keeping with our purpose and mission. In the future, if we identify transactions made by individuals who have been scalping at the expense of wet-shavers who want a Paladin shaving brush for personal use, we may cancel those transactions and issue refunds. I have discussed this with PayPal and confirmed its support."


Absolutely outstanding! You sir, should be applauded for this.

Ken, great to see you here on DFS, and what a well-written and to the point notice about scalping. Bravo

Thanks Ken!

Spot on with your stance!!

Everyone who wants to get a Paladin to use should have an opportunity to buy one direct.

People who buy solely to flip for gain hurt everyone.

If anyone needs convincing, that Ken produces some outstanding brushes: I was recently fortunate enough to acquire my third Paladin from a true gentlemen on another forum (at cost price) - my first with Ken's select knot. All I can say: spectacular! Heavenly soft tips with a perfect backbone to match.

I used it today for the first time - here some impressions (sorry for the poor pictures):

I know this is pure greed - but if Ken decides to offer them at an Australia friendly time, I will certainly try my luck for another one  Big Grin

I've created a thread for Paladin Shaving in the Merchants Forum (although we really don't self-identify as a "merchants", or "vendors" either for that matter). Further updates will be posted there rather than in this forum.

Cool, I got one, and my first choice as well. Those certainly did go quickly.
