“Dealing” with shaving is easier with Dollar Shave Club, the service that will deliver the razor and the blades to your doorstep for a single dollar (hence the name) for the first month. After that, you’ll get a full cassette of cartridges every month for as little as $3. Here are the details…
Highlights
- Get razor and blades for $1 for the first month
- Multiple packages/plans available, starting from $3/month
- Made for men AND women
- Convenience, convenience, convenience
- Ability to add grooming products to your subscription
How It Works?
- The Humble Twin – includes a razor with two blades – costs $1 per month + $2 for shipping (shipping is free for the first month).
- The 4X – more advanced razor with four blades – first month is $1, after it’s $6 with free shipping (includes 4 refill cartridges per month).
- The Executive – the best razor that has a trimmer edge for hard to reach places – first month is $1, after it’s $9 with (again) free shipping.
First month, you’ll get a high quality reusable handle and a full cassette of razor cartridges. After that, you will receive a full cassette containing four replacement cartridges — or five cartridges if you choose the Humble Twin Razor.
Also for women: Lady Members are apparently raving about the 6-blade Executive Razor and Dr. Carver’s Shave Butter.
Not shaving very often? No problem. Once you join the Club, you can change your delivery frequency to every other month. You can also skip a month anytime you want or pause deliveries for up to three months.
Cancel anytime: Cancel for any reason with just a few clicks.
