At the risk of sounding like an old man, the prices of shaving products is freakin’ astronomical and I’m not even exaggerating when I use the word astronomical. I mean you can spend up to $25 bucks on a pack of four razor cartridges. And the thing is, you really have no choice because either they’ve started making disposable razors much shittier or their shittiness has just been exposed by superior razors. Either way, disposables are not an option and I’m questioning how people ever used them. This is definitely a problem. I mean, spending $500 bucks a year on shaving products is a little excessive. This is where the Dollar Shave Club comes in. You may be asking, what is the Dollar Shave Club? It’s a cool little company that sends you razors every month. It’s their brand of razors so they are much cheaper. They’re kind of like the Netflix of Razors except you don’t send the ones you’ve already used back to them due to infectious diseases and all.
According to the Dollar Shave Club website, here’s how it works:
“It‘s simple. You sign up by selecting a razor and creating an account with your shipping address and billing details. We ship you blades and a handle in your first order. Then we bill and ship you replacement blades for your razor every month after, like a subscription. You can cancel anytime.”
The Dollar Shave Club offers three types of razors. The first is the Humble Twin which is your typical double blade razor with a lubricating strip that moisturizes and soothes the skin. If you choose this plan it’s only $1 a month plus shipping and handling and you get 5 blades per month. If you don’t shave a lot you’d actually be kind of stupid to not get this, I mean, it’s a dollar. Next up is the 4X which has 4 stainless steel blades and an open back for easy rinsing. This blade costs 6 bucks a month plus shipping and handling and you get 4 blades per month. The grand finale is The Executive that comes equipped with 6 stainless steel blades and a special trimmer edge built in. This package will cost you 9 bucks a month plus shipping and handling and you get 4 cartridges a month. Considering that the Dollar Shave Club bills this as “the blade that comes from the future and lives in outer space” it’s probably a good bet. You can also add a 6 oz. tube of Dr. Carver’s Shave Butter for $8 which boasts the following specs, non-irritating, safe for sensitive skin, fights razor bumps, helps prevent ingrown hairs, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. They also sell a post shave product and buttwipes, yes you heard me, buttwipes, called One Wipe Charlies for 4 bucks a pack. I mean, hey, I guess a clean butt is always a good thing. Overall the Dollar Shave Club seems like a pretty good deal and you should give it a shot.

Note: If you’re a head shaver, you might want to set up two accounts under different emails to get double the razors just in case. Don’t worry, it’s not against the rules and they actually encourage it.
