Perhaps the note from the store site that shows when you select Brands > Henson gives a glimpse of the type of issues that I imagine are just accumulating these days: "Shaving Time have temporarily suspended importing Henson razors while we sort some Customs import problems with delays and restrictions imposed by the new UK Dangerous weapons Act 2019 with regards to importing Double Edged Razor Blades."Never had anything but exceptional service, with a great range of products. Yet another good and reliable source for things that I want to buy goes, and I really wonder how we've managed to get ourselves to a state where a long-standing business like Shaving Time is driven to quit.
Absolutely absurd. Most DE razors don't come loaded with a blade anyway, but I suppose the combination of halfwitted politicians and "civil servants" don't see this. In general, just about everyone and everything in the UK seems to have forgotten the twin laws of "Cause and Effect" and "Unintended Consequences".Perhaps the note from the store site that shows when you select Brands > Henson gives a glimpse of the type of issues that I imagine are just accumulating these days: "Shaving Time have temporarily suspended importing Henson razors while we sort some Customs import problems with delays and restrictions imposed by the new UK Dangerous weapons Act 2019 with regards to importing Double Edged Razor Blades."
I had a conversation with Dave by email earlier in the week and this is what he wrote me - "My latest UK order has been refused by customs because it contained Schick razor blades sleeves (36) , so it's on its way back. We will sort something out to get the order back in." FWIW, I totally agree with Ferrum's last post, complete fuckup all around.Perhaps the note from the store site that shows when you select Brands > Henson gives a glimpse of the type of issues that I imagine are just accumulating these days: "Shaving Time have temporarily suspended importing Henson razors while we sort some Customs import problems with delays and restrictions imposed by the new UK Dangerous weapons Act 2019 with regards to importing Double Edged Razor Blades."
The scenario isn't as bad as it seems as I have had similar issues with Rockwell.It's a shame to see individual companies like this go when they put in so much hard work. I hope this wont be the start of things to come in the shaving world.
Reading the import restrictions on blades is worrying. Perhaps we should all stock up before blades can't enter the country anymore.
