Start up selling cheap razors using viral marketing (1 Viewer)

A co-worker just showed me this. I have not used the product, nor do I know much about it.

A Santa Monica start-up wants to take the financial pain out of shaving.

Dollar Shave Club is a new membership-only website that promises to “shave time, shave money” by sending customers a shipment of razor blades automatically every month. The company estimates that it will save members as much as $292 per year on shaving.

Effing brilliant. I'm on board.

"Your handsome ### grandfather had one blade...and polio. Looking good Pop-pop!"

:lmao:

 
From their webstie:

Earn a free month for every friend you sign up. 1000 friends gets you 83 years of free razors.

...and if you live longer than that, bravo, we'll be happy to keep sending

 
I need to pull a Posty...

The ad was amusing but that style of ad has jumped the shark after Old Spice and Allstate mayhem.

It's only 1 blade per month? Assuming the $6/mo is comparable to a Fusion, those are a little over $3 a blade at Amazon or Costco. Not getting the value.

EDIT: Ah, it's 4 cartridges a month for $6. Now we're talkin. We just bought a 16pack at Costco though.. need to wait

Much better than the Old Spice commercials. The Old Spice commercials are written by a bunch of guys that aren't that funny trying to do a funny commercial. Mayhem commercials are great.
 
Received my first delivery last week. Not the best razor I have ever used but their pretty solid. Absolutely worth the price.

 
Did my second shave with the cheapest option possible today. As Chaka said, not the best. I have absolutely shaved with worse. With shipping the razors cost $3 per month or $36 a year. I use Mach 3 blades and change them about once per month, so at $34.99 for over a years supply I will be sticking with the Mach 3 and cancelling my Dollar Shave Club membership.

 
Been with this company from the start because of this thread....

Just received an "original member" pin with my last order that included some One Wipe Charlies. :moneybag:

The only bad thing, if you can call it that, is that I don't go thru the blades as quick as they send them. I even went from every month to every two months and

I still have a small stock pile of them.

No issues with blade quality at all.. they even sent me a new updated design shaving handle...

 
My brother in law uses these, or someone similar. I've thought about it, but my facial hair cannot be tamed by any run-of-the-mill razor.

Yup, same here on every point. Now I have a second handle for my travel bag.

 
I totally dig these guys. I use the four blade razor and it is just fine. I also use the shave butter and really like it.

It's awesome never running out of razors. But then again, I'm really lazy.

Thanks for the headsup, probably going to switch to this.

Been with DSC for about a year and haven't liked the service. They only ship on certain days - if you need something extra you have to wait for your shipping day. I started getting too many blades so I switched to every other month for a while, then fell behind, had to buy some disposables because I had to wait forever to get my next shipment. Since you have to put so much thought into the shipment cycle (which is all they do for you vs. Dorco), I should ditch it. Love the quality of the razors though.
