Has anyone tried one of those Shave Clubs?

I thought that I've read that Harry's and DSC are both made by Dorco, a Korean company. I've always liked my Mach 3. More blades and the hair blocks the space in between the blades. For me, one Mach 3 blade lasts a month. I think that they are sharp compared to others.

Dollar shave club seems to be all marketing. And they want you to buy their accessories like ass wipes. It seems like they're counting on selling the accessories in order to make money.

Even though it pains me to admit, I keep going back to the mach 3 myself. I don't really know why, but it just works the best for me. I did Harry's for a while but I didn't need that many razors and I ended up with like 5 things of shaving cream and extra razors and I didn't like them as much as the mach 3.

Maybe I am just lazy, but being able to throw a mach 3 in my cart at the grocery store for $6.99 once a month is just the easiest thing to do, especially when I like it more than the Harry's razors. I don't want to be a part of a "club" anyway. Normally I support disrupting these old shitty companies that charge $12 for a razor, and I guess I still do. I used to pay $12 for a mach 3 and now I can always find one for around $6.

Yeah, my Gillette mach3 usual last a month, and I only shave 3 times a week. It might be too good to be true, but I hope the Harry's is worth it. Harry's say they have their own factory in Germany that makes their blades. I can only guess that DSC gets their blades from China, which explains why they suck.

Now hold on... Have you ever seen a Chinese man with a beard or even a five-o'clock shadow?

I think most of my friends are on these clubs. I have done both DSC and Harry's. I'm still with harry's. Recently I lost my Harry's handle and went out and bought a Mach 3 and did think to myself, "Wow this is better than my normal razor."

Here is a video saying the Mach 3 is better.

I imagine it all boils down to how long you keep them. 5 Mach 3s cost $15 on amazon. You can get 8 Harry's for that price. Maybe Harry's is better if you change them out more often due to their cheaper cost.

The question I have for you guys is, "How do you shave?" Do you just hop out of a warm shower and do it without shaving cream or do you lather up?

Another thing about the Mach 3, I can use it without a handle. That's what I normally do. I feel like whenever I used the handle I would cut myself more often if I was in a hurry than without.

I tried to go old school. I used to use a safety razor, growing up, and eventually moved to the mach 3.

Now I am retired and the blades are too expensive, as I dont shave as often. (contradiction :-)) I went old school for old times sake, back to the saftey blades, but after almost having to go to the ER after each shave, I decided to go back to Mach 3.

I looked into the others, as they are cheaper, but they don't last anywhere near long enough in comparison.

I also discovered that due to MAch 3's exhorbitant price, that the blades are a major theft risk in pharmacy. They often lock them in a cage.

I do dollar shave club and started with their high end shaver. Later I went down to the three blade, and like it more. It's about $9 per month. I like it.

Always out of the shower with a light layer of shaving cream. And probably three or four times a week (every other day).

Get a Merkur DE, a brush and some good soap. $50 initial outlay and enough blades for a year will run you another 10-15. It'sbthe rare deal, its cheaper and better. Way, way better.

I had to leave the Mach3 as the price kept going up.

I think it was $20 for a pack of four.

I'm trying DSC now.

I did the mid range one for a month, 4 for $6 and now I'm trying the nicer ones, 4 for $9.

I'm liking them now.

I was using Target's brand for a bit which was still more than the shave club.

I'm done with Gillette.

I go with a beard now and then and that saves on blades.

I am not a subscriber to any of these, but I do get their approach. I mean, "Dollar Ass Wipe Club" would seem to be a difficult thing to promote.

Agree. $9.00 a month for the last 2 year's keeps me and the Misses smooth. But I agree on them trying to push their extra side stuff.

That's why i left but it looks like their online program is way cheaper.

5 for $15.19 subscribe and save on Amazon or 10 for $27.

The Mach 3 is not the only 3 bladed razor that Gilette makes. That's all I'm going to say and you're welcome.

The ones at my health club are free. I grab a handful couple times a month and never buy a razor. They're low quality, but I use them a couple times and toss 'em.

I shave in the shower after my face is warmed up after washing my hair. I use a Schick or Gillette 4 blade and use it for 3 to 4 weeks. I shave every day.

My order of imortance is:

- soap

- brush

- 1 single sharp blade

- blade holder

This is fy bar my favourite soap:

This blade holder twists the blade a bit which is the real trick:

I love my nice brush with badger fur but "on the road" any pig brushed does the trick, too.

Blade-shaving without foam seems "McDonaldish" to me.

I think blades last the longest if you wipe them afterwards so almost no moisture remains. That's why I abstain from these multiblades, as I also find them hygienically gross because you cannot clean them.
