Dollar Shave Club

Great concept and execution. I have the 4X (middle tier) razor and it works great, giving me a close shave. The handle is weighty and feels like a high-​end razor too. The box always comes in on time every month and its great not having to shell out a lotta money for a quality razor. Their shave butter is awesome too (waaaayyy better than the fusion shave gel).
The only issue I have, is that I have pretty sensitive skin so I like to swap out my blades about every 6 days or so, otherwise my skin breaks out, hence, I just wish there was an option that you could get 5 cartridges a month instead of four.
All in all, definitely a very good service.

I’m a fairly new subscriber to Dollar Shave Club. I’ve been using a Mach 3 for years, and cringing at the cost of blades. A friend recently got me a gift pack for Harry’s blades (similar concept, but higher-​end). However, I have very sensitive skin, and although Harry’s was an amazingly close, smooth shave, I had unbearable irritation and razor bumps. I’ve also used disposable Bic double razors many times, and found that very uncomfortable on my skin as well, like it was tearing at the skin and hair.
Reading online that a double-​blade razor was ideal for sensitive skin, I decided to give Dollar Shave Club’s «Humble Twin» a try.
My first impression was mixed. The packaging was cool, and included a free sample of their shaving butter, but it took a while to get the first shipment (at least a week). The handle for the Humble Twin also feels extremely cheap — only a tiny notch above the handle on a disposable razor — and the way it attached to a razor cartridge is clumsy and unsatisfying. This handle is the only major downside I see to this razor option. I understand the cheap handle as the freebie, but I wish they at least offered the option to buy a weighted handle that fits these cartridges.
However, after shaving several times with it, I can say that I really like this shave. It is *not* a particularly close shave, but that is ideal for my skin. I have no cuts, no irritation, just a pleasant shave. I will definitely be keeping my subscription, and appreciate the «pressure» to change out every week by getting another shipment of five blades each month.
Bottom line: if you want a super close shave, I would look at Harry’s or Dollar Shave’s more expensive options. But if your skin can’t tolerate too many blades, I think this choice is easy on the face and wallet.

This product proves that you get what you pay for. Their twin blades shave as though I already used them twice. I’m going back to Gillette.

For years, I joined every other man in America by overpaying for razors. $ 25 bucks for a pack of 4 was just the norm… or so I thought. Then one day I just got tired of being robbed blind by the razor companies, when I saw the TV commercial for Dollar Shave Club. It was a novel idea that would be low risk and cheap to try. I figured I had nothing to lose, so I joined and ordered the $ 9 razor as well as the Shave Butter and Men’s wipes. Boy was I surprised.
The 6 blade razor for $ 9 bucks is not as close a shave as the expensive Fusion razor, but it is darn close. So close that it is well worth the effort. The DSC razor doesn’t vibrate, doesn’t light up, or do magic tricks like Fusion does, but so what? It gives me an incredibly close shave with low friction, as well as the lubricating strip, rubber bottom and edging blade (same as Fusion) which is really all I need. The Shave Butter is also pretty good too. I like that it has a slight oil base to provide a smooth glide of the blade across my skin, and that it’s clear. Now I can see the edges of my goatee instead of having to first wipe off the cream to see what I’m doing, as with other brands. LOL and the Men’s wipes with the peppermint scent have come in pretty handy as well. I won’t go into the details, but I now have a new appreciation for total freshness after leaving the bathroom.
I am VERY satisfied with Dollar Shave Club and I highly recommend them. If you don’t like it, you can easily un-​join at any time, so it’s well worth the risk. Your skin and your wallet will thank you for making the switch.

I love Dollar Shave Club’s concept, and I’d REALLY like to like them. Having razor blades delivered automatically, so that I don’t have to worry about buying them at the store is a great idea. Unfortunately, what is delivered is just not good quality. I received the Executive blades each month. They look really nice, but for the most part, they are dull, and they left me nursing a bloody face every morning. Until I used these blades, I hadn’t cut myself shaving a single time since high school. When I used DSC’s blades, my face was full of cuts. After two boxes of blades that gave me the same effect, I decided to cancel my membership. I explained to them why I was cancelling, but they didn’t seem to care or have any interest in providing a refund. They did suggest that I start a new membership and order the 4X, which is the next step down. I did, however, like two of their extra products: Shave Butter and the Post Shave. I asked if I could continue to order them without buying their low-​quality blades. They told me that they would not allow me to buy from them without buying blades. I tried another of their products, the One-​Wipe Charlies, which I found to be less-​than-​impressive. They would have been great if they had been moist. Instead, they were almost dry. I’d love to be able use Dollar Shave Club because of the convenience, but quality matters. Unfortunately, what they’re offering just isn’t quality. I’m back with the expensive Gillette Fusion ProGlide, which isn’t conveniently delivered to my door. My face, however, is cut-​free again.

I totally understand that this is geared toward men but a razor is a razor so I signed myself up.
I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Every other month I pay $ 6 for a great razor and 4 blades. You really can’t beat that price. Shipping is free and the packaging is cute. .. not sure they were going for cute but hey, I’m a chick.
You’d be crazy not to sign up for this one.

For the 4x blade I the cost is about 50% less than the same Fusion style blade with the lubricating strip at the top and rubber at the bottom. The blades are far enough apart they are easily washed during a shave. The shave quality was probably not as good as the brand blades but I think it’s a fair trade off for the savings. All but the single blade package include the shipping as part of my package. The handle is weighted and easy to maneuver but my first one did break and I had to replace.
I don’t think they last quite as long, nor is the shave quite as good but for the price I can replace them more often and still get a good shave. So far no problems with delivery or billing. It takes about five days to get each order but if they’re set on scheduled delivery it doesn’t matter anyway. I never bought cartridges when they were on sale or in bulk which probably pushes what I’m saving up. Long as the quality stays the same I won’t switch back.

Craft beer enthusiasts share the knowledge that brewmasters wear beards. There was no official announcement or brew kits packaged with whisker wax, it’s just that brewing is as subversive and intoxicating as science gets. I produced my first and only batch five years ago, but kept the beard until I received a Dollar Shave Club subscription from my girlfriend.
A handful commented on the sheer Herculean might of my facial flair, but since I’ve been clean shaven everyone has something to say. YES I’ve always had this boyish face pierced by a dimpled chin. Once you start Dollar Shave Club you too can have a face that looks like its been dipped in the Fountain of Youth. A smooth look free of grey will shave years off your appearance. Three price-​points starting from $ 1 a month plus shipping and handling for 2, 4 or 6 blade razor attachments, handle and samples of their other products. Learn more here –
