Im officially a member as of August 3rd. Their blades are excellent. I shave about 3 to 4 times a week. I am on the 4 blades a month plan with my wife and splitting them.
The Wife and I use it. I have little facial growth and it's mostly patchy so this was right up my ally. Shave handles are weighted nicely and have a nice ergonomic grip. Blades are pretty good maybe a step bellow ProGlide blades, but not that big of a drop off.
I use the schick hydro 5. From reviews they are better than the dollar shave club blades and they only cost 2 bucks a head at costco.
I have a straight blade but never use it. I use a double edge safety razor. Straight blades are not that awesome in practice. I only bought it because I have a huge japanese stone collection and can hone it to perfection.
I started using it last March, I got a random email where my first order of the 4 blade razor and handle was free, liked it, got my 2nd pack after 2 months, it's Sep and barely on 3rd blade on my first pack, I was able to stop the subscription for 4 months since I don't shave as much. Have no complaints about them
I always wanted to make one but it requires buying a contact wheel that cost a few hundred bucks. Definitely on my bucket list.
Buy a vintage Gillette (Slim, SuperSpeed, New LC, etc) double edge razor for $20, or a modern Merkur or Edwin Jagger DE razor for $30. Buy 100 Astra, Personna Reds, Rapira or similar quality DE blades for $10. You should get 3-4 shaves per blade. And yes, Dorco blades are crap. I'd rather drag barbed wire or broken glass across my face to shave...
you guys just buy direct from Dorco USA - its the blades and that DSC uses and repackages/brands. Its cheaper to buy directly on their website. I've been buying from Dorco and love their blades. They constantly have sales for their stuff all the time.
I don't see the point. A Gillette Fusion pack of 4 heads costs about $17 and lasts four months. Unless you're really counting pennies, objectively speaking there isn't much incentive to switch.
It's probably closer to 4 bucks a month, 1 buck plus a small S&H... but sure.... It's being thrown away.
http://www.dorcousa.com These are the blades Dollar Shave club uses and over charges for. There are decent.....but are not as good as Gillette Fusion and ProGlide.
