Shave Clubs

[Matt Dillon]

I've been toying with the idea of joining one. There are several out there, with the Dollar Shave Club appearing to be the most well known. I was wondering if any of the WCN members belong to one and, if so, what you think of it? Thanks in advance to any and all who reply.

I joined Dollar Shave Club about two years ago. The razor felt dull after one shave so I cancelled immediately, but maybe I just got a bad razor or something. I have considered trying them again and give them another shot. There's really no harm in joining up for a month to test it out because you can cancel at anytime with no penalty.

Harry's is another option. I haven't used them personally but I have a friend who swears by them.

Thats last post made me look like a Harrys salesman, which I am not BTW. I need to be careful with links i add apparently.

I like it when people post links.

Tried Dollar Shave a while back and didn't care for it. It's convenient, but the quality wasn't great. Besides, I switched to a straight blade and dumped cartridge razors all together. The difference is tremendous.

I've used Dollar Shave Club for 3+ years now. I get the fourX (four blade head) refills. I shave my head and my face. While the remaining hair on my head isn't terribly dense, my facial hair IS terribly dense. I could probably shave twice a day if the need called for it. One blade head will last me a week and a half.

$6 / month, no shipping cost. I get as close a shave as I did with the Gillette Fushion blades.

Also use a shaving mug, badger shave brush and Cremo shaving cream.

At my age, shaving with a straight razor isn't an option, if you know what I mean.

MD, have you ever thought of using a double sided safety razor and wet shaving? Back in the good old days, before our site was attacked, we had a thread or three on shaving, and some of youse guys and UK78ALUM got me to experiment with that. I don't do it very often due to time constraints, but when I can I find it relaxing and fairly successful. I use a Gillette safety razor and typically Proraso shaving cream.
