yeah, to each their own. I find the safety razor shaves alot closer and I can make my lines alot sharper than the electric or cartriage type.

that being said the other ways are absolutley easier and take less knowledge to handle.

Does Dollar Shave Really Save?

Dollar Shave Club made major headlines this month thanks to a catchy video and a solid promise: high-quality razors delivered to your door for just a few bucks a month. But is the deal from this scrappy start-up as clear-cut as it seems?

The video soon went viral, flooding the Santa Monica, Calif.-based firm with thousands of orders, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. It also garnered CEO Michael Dubin plaudits for being a market disrupter. But I decided to do a little digging into Dollar Shave's unconventional approach to selling razors in an era when Americans are plenty fed up with high prices and poor service. It began with Dorco. That's the South Korean company known by razor aficionados for its well-made blades.

At Dorco's website , you can purchase razors that look remarkably similar to those offered by Dollar Shave -- but with a catch. In order to get the best deal, you need to make a bulk purchase about the size of a Kleenex box. Consider: The highest-end Dollar Shave Club razor is "The Executive," with six stainless-steel blades, lube strips and a pivoting head, runs $90 over 10 months (razor plus 3 catridges per month). Dorco sells a six-blade model with the same features, the SXA1000. Buying directly from Dorco, a 10-month supply -- the razor plus 30 cartridges -- costs just $28.66. (Since there is a $25 minimum for free shipping, you'll need to store all those cartridges in your house for several months.)

In fact, Dorco appears to be the supplier for most of Dollar Shave's blades. Ken Hill, president of Dorco USA, said his firm sells Dollar Shave Club the four- and six-blade razors that are used in its packages, but not the Dollar Shave's two-blade option.

In an interview, Dollar Shave CEO Dubin told me he "could not confirm or deny" that many of his company's razors come from Dorco. Asked why customers should join the Club when they can buy razors directly from a company like Dorco -- for as much as 75% less -- Dubin said his service offers greater "convenience." "Are there similar razors out there? Sure. But our goal is to create value." I pointed out that I can get the Dorco razors delivered conveniently to my front door, too. "Not once a month," he said.

...

As a new business, Dollar Shave Club clearly has a few things to learn. For instance, earlier this week when I tried to order more than nine razor packs containing four cartridges each from Dorco USA, its site said they didn't have enough in stock. But unlike Dollar Shave Club, Dorco won't let me pay for razors until it has them on hand to ship. Dollar Shave Club would do well to take a note from Dorco in that regard. Hill said the six-blades have been very popular and the supply issues were unrelated to Dollar Shave Club's volume. Later in the week I was able to place more cartridges in my online cart at Dorco USA.

However, it looks like Dorco USA is also learning from Dollar Shave Club. It just launched greatshavingripoff.com , which takes stylistic cues from Dollar Shave Club: It has a cute lo-fi YouTube video, retro typography, and a narrative positioning itself as the David to the Goliaths of Gillette and Schick. The site drives sales back to the Dorco site, but there's no annual subscription plan required.

THIS.

Last year I was impressed with the Dollar Shave ads at the same time I was getting sick of paying $15-$16 for my Gillette blades every month, and I came this close to signing up. But I stopped at the last second, did a bit more research and came across the above article. So I bought Dorco instead.

They are about 95-99 percent the same quality as the Gillettes I used, at a fraction of the price. Plus, the handle I got from Dorco is quality -- still using it after all these months.

I highly recommend Dorco.

I probably spend less than $6 month on blades just using the Gillette Mach 3 blades. Each of those last at least 3 to 4 weeks for me and I shave 5 days a week. I don't need to change cartridges every week.

[MTG#10]

It's a ripoff, as others have mentioned you can get the the same blades straight from dorcousa.com for a fraction of the price.

I have been using DSC for about 3 years now and I bought a pack of their One Wipe Charlies as sort of a joke to gross my wife out. I used them and now I wouldn't want to be without them. Also, their shave butter is the tits.
