Anyone use dollar shave club?

[Sam1]

Heard a commercial for this today, figured I'd give it a whirl since the normal mach 3 power razors have gotten so darn expensive over the past few years. site is:

Just curious if anyone else has tried out their stuff? If not I'll post up if they're worth it or junk.

 

The advertisement is pretty funny:

Razors are for sissies.  Real men grow beards.  Well when our wives let us anyway.

awesome ad lol

I've heard they are good. I use a straight razor for the 10% of my face that actually gets shaved in the winter. This summer I might order a few to use when I don't have time to do a wet shave.

I thought about it after hearing their commercials, but after doing some research, it would cost me more than I'm spending now.

 

I am currently using the Schick Quattro Titanium. I buy them on sale for about $6, and they usually come with three cartridges. Those last me about 2 months.

 

If you can find a person or two who are willing to split them with you, buying in bulk from ebay can also be a good option.

I guess the m3 powers I used to buy were counterfeits, cause they were about 30$ for 48, which would last a year. But there's none for even remotely close to that price now. @ $2 each they're about the same price as that dollar shave thing, and I don't have to fuss with it anymore. We'll see how they compare

1:00 was the funniest thing I've ever heard!

Intresting,keep us posted

Just about finished with my latest 2 restorations. Have to pick out scale material and give them a hone.

Discovering the wet shave brought pleasure to a chore.

To make your blades last much longer, soak the head in alcohol (not the drinking stuff, isopropyl) after each use for a minute or two. I too use the Mach 3 and I usually get 3 to 4 months out of a single head. So instead of using a four pack a month, I now use a four pack a year.

Thing is, it's a monthly subscription, it's either x number a month, or nada.

 

I think it's a heck of a deal myself, but I don't have to shave regularly enough anymore to utilize the 5 a month of the cheapest. Even though it's only $3/month, I'd be stockpiling them.

Been using them since last summer, I was getting 4 blades every month and was getting a good supply. Thought about canceling for a while, but, they started an every other month program and switched to that. Bought my wife a handle and we have been pleased with the service, the blades shave as we'll as any we have used.

Get one of those razor sharpeners for the disposable razors. They really do work.

Already tried that, was a complete waste of $20.

[gjohnsoniv]

What kind? The as seen on tv leather flap thing? Or one of the boxes that you fill with water?

[Sam1]

was some battery powered thing with a rotating flap

[2.ooohhh]

I bought a safey razor last time I was headed overseas since it's a pain to fly with a straight razor these days. I end up using it far more than my straight razor now and it only costs around $10 a year for blades.

There is one that's a box that you fill with water and run the razor across the piece in the bottom. That one does work, not that rotating flap thing.

I'm with you on this :up: . I gave up on cartridges, tried them all hate them all. Open comb Cadet and Pol-sliver blades all the way. I do want to try a Slant but am in no hurry.

I'm old school. I use a safety razor. I can usually pick up 50 blades for about 25.00 shipped from places like Royal Shave.

thanks for posting this I started researching a little and ordered that razor. I hate shaving, using a safety razor might change my mind on that.

Start off with a large assortment pack of blades, I've found safety razor blades are kind of like ammo in guns. Different users/razors prefer different blades. Once I found a blade I liked to use in the razor I ordered them in bulk. I also have two razor handles now the one pictured(cheaper) for travel and the one I linked for home.

I bought a Gillette Tech safety razor on ebay and 5,000 blades.  You cannot get a better, nor cheaper shave.

I plan on using the blades that come with it to get used to it then switching to the feathers I have heard those are great to shave with the grain with one pass and be done but you have to be careful.

Dang funny video, almost got my business just because of it.
