Dollar Shave Club

Anyone join the Dollar Shave Club ? I recently did and got my first shipment. They have three different models to choose from, I got the four blade model. I get four replacement blades a month for $6 shipping included, and the first handle was free. Can't say the blades are any better/worse than name brand, but they are a lot cheaper and will come to my door every month. I am in no way affiliated with dollar shave club, just thought I would share. So far seems like a good deal.

Do you really use four replacement blades in a month? I don't shave regularly so I really have no clue but that seems like a lot. You'd only be getting 7-8 uses per blade if you shaved every day.

If you shave everyday, then yeah, that's about right.

I switched to DE shaving last year. I get a way better shave and once you make the initial investment (handle and brush), it's way cheaper. I picked up 120 blades for $19. If I ever went back to using a cartridge razor (I won't), I think I'd consider Dollar Shave Club.

I shave every other day. I sometimes use a blade for well over a month, but that's longer than I should sometimes, and I end up butchering my face up. Actually my wife tried it out (on her legs) Lol and liked it, so I will buy another handle for $4 and we will split the blades. Also I can change to where I receive the blades just every other month if I want. I am going to try them for a couple of months and see what suits me best. I tried disposable razors and they are just not for me.

I use the top end razor and have had the service probably a little over a year now. I have a decent stockpile of blades because, while I shave everyday, I have very sparse/light facial hair so a blade can easily last me a month. I will probably be stopping the blade deliveries soon because I have 20+ replacements in the cabinet already. Even at $9 per month for the 4 blades it's cheaper than what I paid for decent quality razors before and does a much better job. I have been kicking around the idea of trying out Harry's after I use up all the replacements for my current razor to compare.

I have two DE razors, a Merkur Long Handle and a Parker 92R . If you decide to go with a DE razor, I'd suggest you try a sample pack of blades and it is a bit of trial and error to find one that will give you a close shave but not tear your face up. However, once you figure out the blade that works well for you, you can get them pretty cheap in bulk quantities. It's also worth spending the money to get a good brush and good shaving cream.

While I won't be going back to cartridge razors, I did just sign up for DSC for the wife.

I was using a Gillette mach 3. The four blade DSC razor gives me a better shave.

Then you should have gotten the 6 blade DSC . That's the one I have, and the savings on blades alone have more than paid for themselves. Granted I don't use the blades nearly as fast as most people do, but the shave is much closer and as such tends to last an extra day. Paying $9 a month and now having a stockpile of extra blades large enough to last me about a year was a great investment.

Did you try the four blade also? If the six is as good as the Fusion I'll try it.

I went straight to the 6 blade right off the bat. I like it much better than anything I've ever bought from the store and it's much cheaper than buying from the store also.

i just switched over from the 4 to the 6 for my next shipment.  ill check back in with my results.

I use the Fusion.  I have everyday.   My beard is about medium in density.    My blades last one month before replacement.    I buy a 4 pack every 4 mos.    I like the shave.    By the way ,  my wife shave her legs with the same razor/blade.    At the end they are getting pretty worn.    But I don't see the need to change more often.
