Audiolab said:I know the TK MAX shops are good value but honestly I hate the place with a passion. Most of them are a complete tip and despite the much cheapness I'd rather pay more and get a tub of shaving cream that 15 other people haven't opened and stuck their nose in. Some of the stuff clearly is new and unopened but often the mens cosmetics/shaving section is mostly dregs and a disorganised rabble, at least the ones I have been in are like this.
At £5 the A/S or soap is good value but the "RRP £30 - Our price £5" tactic is nonsense, no way I'd pay £30 for some Pecksnifs stuff but at a fiver fine, just don't try to kid me it is worth £30. They closed paddy's market in Glasgow because it was such a mess but it was still tidier than some TK Max stores I have been in.
Anyway rant over, everyone make their choices and perhaps I am getting ripped off. I am sure if you visit regularly you can pick up some decent stuff at a good price, but for how long a tub of cream or soap lasts is it worth it? Maybe I am just jealous because I have never found a decent bargain in one, apart from some candles I bought once, I am a lazy git who never gets there till the afternoon and by then it is like a hurricane hit it.
No more purchases for a while for me tho as I have enough blades, razors and shaving soaps, creams etc to last for..........eeerr a while... :roll:missingskin said:Audiolab said:I know the TK MAX shops are good value but honestly I hate the place with a passion.

I did check it was untouched and I have to admit it seems to be ok. Smooth shave and I like the scent. Also I have been off work (until this week), for 7 months so a way to pass the time........and I have got few good bargains there...... :lol:
