Dollar Shave Club - why bother?

[yk9001]

The reason we sign up for the shave club is so we don't ever have to think about razors. They just come every month

 

So you aren't doing it for the infusion of cucumber and papaya in the shave cream?

[Adam]

lol no. 

 

A few times I've needed to shave and gone into the bathroom and saw just one razor that looked like it was used by some jihadist to decapitate an infidel. 

 

Either I needed a new wife or a different method for obtaining razors on my own.

[Tank]

i have to shave because of my international singing career.

[Stradling]

And a bit less about the Jews.

This is pretty good.

[mrwicked]

i use the fusion one with the battery.

always shave in the shower.

who cares how much the blades cost? its like gas, nothing you can do about it (except join one of these clubs i suppose).

i used to have an electric razor. never got a close shave and it irritated the daylights out of my neck.

 

i don't think i change razor blades often enough to justify spending money monthly on a razor club.

I had a Norelco triple header that my parents gave me years ago. Used to chafe the hell out of me, which I didn't expect.

I shave in the shower as well.  My fingers can feel what is completely smooth, and what I missed.

It's nice being Asian

Shower shaver as well. I'd also highly recommend the Trader Joe's shaving lotion. Best shave cream/lotion by far. It makes a difference.

[Tank]

i wish i had a fog free mirror so i could shave in the shower again. i liked doing it then.

I had one built in to the shower head, but even then after a while you can shave without a mirror. You'll need to line up the sideburns after to start, then you can do that too without looking.

i had one of those too, they are great.

the primary showerhead in my new master bath is a rainfall one in ceiling. it's f*cking INSANE. but it means cant use the ones that attach to the pipe. so I tried one of those fancy ones that stick to the wall and take batteries.

its fine for now. probably wont last forever.

can live without a mirror though, do the detail work after or use something shiny.

On the electrics you have to change the cutters every few months.  Otherwise they become dull and then the quality and comfort of the shave goes downhill pretty fast.  A new set of cutters makes all the difference.

Shaving in the shower seems like a waste of water which obviously is a no-no these days.

You probably don't want to know what else wastes water in the showers. Hint: it kills millions

[Jobu]

i never even knew what this was, and i finally checked on it

i think i'm going to give it a try for a month. i'll do the 4 blade option.

Use promo code "yk9001" so he can get his commission.

You can always turn off the water for two minutes. And no mirror is necessary.

The four-blade cartridge is the one that I use. I had to replace the handle after about a year and a half because the ejector button started to come loose, but that is the only issue that I have had. They also sell some pretty good supplemental products. Dr. Carver's Shave Butter is a shaving lubricant in a plastic squeeze tube. No aerosol cans that lose propellant about halfway through like with some brands. It also applies clear, so if you have a trouble spot that you want to miss with the razor, you can easily see it.

Are we talking about faces or other bodily organs?

I used to buy their blades, but they gave me a shaving rash.  I switched to Harry's blades and I no longer have that problem.  Their blades give me a smooth shave and last a long time.  I think the blades from The Dollar Shave Club are made in China while the Harry's blades are made in Germany and there is a noticeable difference in quality.  The shave is comparable to the top of the line Gillette and Schick blades, but are less than half the cost.

It's ironic that a guy named Harry would have a shaving/blade company.
