I will admit it- I have a shaving problem. In my bathroom are the skeletons of experiments gone awry. If you have seen the blade in the store, I probably own it. I have razor handles for blades that come in single heads and ones that hold 5 heads and vibrate (still not sure why that was a good idea).
I even have two different straight razors: the disposable kind and the sharpening kind. Other than looking like a Sweeney Todd reject (never watched that movie), these handles represent the fact that I have lost the handle of shaving.
Why?
It’s just not convenient. The good blades are too expensive. If I get the smaller (more affordable pack) I run out before I remember to get a refill. Then I get the super cheap disposable ones and they just don’t do the trick.
Until now.
I joined a club. Yep, the Dollar Shave Club. For mere dollars a month I get razors sent to me. Good razors. Razors that would probably cost me much more in the store. (Ha! I just accidentally rhymed there. Dig it.)
The first rule about the Dollar Shave Club is to spread the word about the Dollar Shave Club. Well, it is simple.
You have three choices of blades: The Humble Twin (two blades), The 4X (4 blades and the size I got), or The Executive (6 blades). The price per month for each? $1, $6, and $9, respectively. The Humble Twin requires an additional charge for Shipping and Handling, but the other two do not.
Know what else is awesome? You can downgrade your order if you would prefer. They send you a new handle for free.
If Goldilocks had facial hair, and needed to shave, this is where she would get her razors. You will find the blades that are just right for your face and at a price that won’t break your wallet.
In addition to razors, DSC also sells Shave Butter (it is pretty smooth) and an intriguing box of wipes called One Wipe Charlies. One Wipe Charlies are infused with aloe vera and chamomile. I cannot confirm or deny the sentiment that after using these wipes that your flatulence actually smells of peppermint. I’ll let you experience that on your own.
The DSC is a sound personal investment for the man who shaves (or needs to), or the perfect gift for the man who shaves (or needs to). It is affordable, convenient, and who doesn’t like getting stuff in the mail?

The Dollar Shave Club sent me a box to sample but did not compensate me for this post. My thoughts and views are my own.
