Active Promotional MarkdownExpected: RISING SOON

This is about as low as it usually goes. Currently observed at $12.79, 16% below its standard $15.24 shelf baseline. Dips like this one tend to hold for roughly 1 week over the past 2 years, and we're already inside one. When it closes, the pattern points to the price drifting back up toward $15.24 rather than sliding any further. So if you've done your reading and XTREME Barbasol Rotary Shaver already looks like the right call, waiting is more likely to cost you than save you. We can't promise it won't dip again and more, nobody can. What we can say is that this is the stretch where buyers have historically timed it well.
