My husband uses dollar shave club and he absolutely loves it. I think he's been using it for a little over a year now or something and has nothing but great things to say about it. I've also thought about signing up for the subscription but I never follow through with it; I don't quite know what's holding me back!

 

I think you'll be pretty surprised when they arrive - the quality of them was much better than I was expecting. I was fully anticipating them being all cheap and lightweight and the blades dulling quickly, but that was not the case at all. I have both the version you purchased as well as the $9 a month one I recently upgraded to.

The handles are very weighty and solid and sturdy. The blades are roughly as good as your far more expensive Gillette variety. My only ding on the $6 model was the handle for some reason was a bit short - shorter than most other brand name razors on the market. It's a bit thicker too, it's like short and stubby - but I got used to it quickly. The $9 one is more like your typical razor handle length, but otherwise not much different from the $6 model.

The blades themselves on both models work fine - I believe there's an extra blade or two on the $9 model, but the $6 already has plenty itself. My only gripe with both of them is that they have too thick of a border around the blades themselves making it difficult to shave in tight positions. It's more of a design issue than a quality issue. When I try to shave right under my nose, that border prevents the blades from getting all the way to the top of what would be my moustache. So I have to kind of go in sideways or at an angle otherwise it misses that patch of hair.

Also, I tried their shaving cream and didn't care for it personally - I would rather stick to a foaming gel. I don't like the clear non foaming gels because I can't see where I shaved already clearly. And I don't feel they lubricate as well personally.

 

I was thinking of trying this, but here in Canada it's more expensive.
I can just go to a big box store and pick up a pack of disposables for $5 that will last me 2 months.

 

This is my first time hearing of this site. It brings to mind an ad report I saw on Fox news about a similar site called Harry's. I hope it works out for you, and I would then be willing to share your link with others.

 

I have used Dollar Shave Club, but only recently cancelled my subscription...only because I have a stock pile of blades so I don't need the deliveries right now, and I can put the money saved to another bill. They have excellent customer service and I was very pleased with the product. If you get a chance, check out their commercials on YouTube, they are quite funny!

 

@LilAnn We've been getting them for about a year or more now and my husband and I both love them. It's one less thing to have to remember to pick up from the store and it really is a terrific value. These blades are every bit as good as the much more expensive ones and you get "Bathroom Notes" with them as a bonus. I look forward to reading the jokes and solving the riddle or puzzle that's included with each shipment.

 

@LilAnn You'll be getting another package every month like clockwork. They always come on time every time. Thanks for the tip about coconut oil. I'm going to give it a try!
