I think there was a thread of similar interest on GIM1. Over the course of the last few months I've found a couple of products which I find to be worth while and wanted to start a thread where we could share our experiences in this regard.
I want to start by promoting Dollar Shave Club. On it's face the idea seem preposterous. Who wants to order razor blades through the mail? I refuse to pay obscene prices for multi blade razors and when it started getting harder to find blades for my Gillette sensor I simply switched to Gillette Good News disposables. I used them for a few years but was never quite satisfied. I did some price checking and found that the dollar shave club offers twin blade razors at the same price as the disposables so I took the plunge.
Not unlike Gillette, who gave the handle away and took profits from the blade sales, DSC is making their cash on the vanity items such as shave gel, hair gel, and man face moisturizer. For the same price as a Gillette disposable I get five blades a month shipped to my door, the blades are sharper and last longer.
Since I work very long shifts I usually have a shadow and shave perhaps seven times a month. Usually not until my beard starts to itch. With that being the case, I only use a razor per month and hoard the other four, but there are options. I could have them send more or fewer blades if I wanted. My plan is to get a pile of them and then just cancel the "membership".
While the other products are nice, if you want to be a miser stick to the razors only. I like the shave gel but don't have to have it.
