Dollar Shave Club

Blueface · 03-16-2014, 03:45 PM

Anyone a member?
I saw the commercial, funny as heck, and researched them. Seems folks are very pleased with service.
You can get razors for $1, $6 or $9 per month.
I went with the four blade $6 one, four pack for month.
At those prices, I may shave daily again.

Ordered cream and wipes for a total of $18.
Can't go wrong with that.

I've seen the commercials.
Will you post a pic of the stuff when you get it, Carlos?
I use those 5 blade fusion power razor blades and they're crazy expensive. When I'm shaving my head I wear them out super fast. It's nuts.
I was perfectly happy with plastic Bic 10 cent razors for 30 years and now I can't afford to shave anymore.

I am a member. The blades are very good quality and you can't beat the price. They ship fast and you can cancel anytime. I use the $9 blades because I have to shave daily and my facial hair is coarse. They hold up wonderfully.

Good to hear.
I thought of going for the $9 one but since I use a four blade now, figured that would be a good comparison starting point for me.
Cool thing is you can swap around as you wish. May try the $9 one in a month or two.

maninblack · 03-16-2014, 05:00 PM

Can't really beat the price. Most comparable blades are much higher.

mosesbotbol · 03-16-2014, 06:53 PM

There's nothing to convince me to shave daily, but their pricing is quite nice.

I moved to a safety razor in December. Works great for those who don't shave often. Blades feel sharper than the Gillette stuff... and they are cheap!

Also, Mantic (Mark, the owner of Sharpologist.com), did a review on the Dollar Shave Club. Read about it here:
http://sharpologist.com/2012/03/dollarshaveclub.html

Or see his list of 7 cartridge based alternatives for the Gillette Fusion, including Dollar Shave Club here: http://sharpologist.com/2013/11/prog...ernatives.html

I would suggest looking into a double edge safety razor. I buy blades by the 100 pack for about $10. Each blade lasts 4-7 shaves, but there are dozens of different brands and types of blades you can choose from.

MrClean · 03-16-2014, 07:08 PM

I'm a member too. Been using them for about 6 months now. I shave my head and face so I was worried about only getting 4 blades a month. But I've had no issues using one blade a week with no irritation at all. I use the $9 blades, the handle they send is heavy and feels good in my hand. Before I joined I emailed them about possibly needing more than 4 blades a month. They responded in less than 24 hours and were very helpful, you can skip a month if you're not using all your blades and you can add another pack with your next shipment if you need more.
I tried their shaving cream, Dr. Carvers Shave Butter, I didn't like it at first but I gave it a second chance. I think it took awhile for my skin to adjust to it, it's kinda pricey at $8, but for me, it's worth it.

Zane · 03-16-2014, 09:22 PM

I am also a member. I am very pleased. Had it for over a year.

CigarSquid · 03-16-2014, 09:32 PM

I signed up about 2 weeks ago. I like em. I use the 6 blade, $9.

They had a mix up with my order so I have two handles for nothing. My wife will use it for her. So between the two of us, we spend 9 bucks a month of razors.

I figure I can change them out every 2 weeks.

Me and my future wife do the same thing.

mikesr1963 · 03-17-2014, 06:57 AM

Based on my current usage it would have cost me quite a bit more to join the club.

icehog3 · 03-17-2014, 09:56 AM

Hairy back, huh?

Blueface · 03-29-2014, 02:30 PM

So far, loving it!
Now ordering for wife also and trying out the six blade ones for kicks and giggles.
