Is The Dollarshaveclub A Scam?

The dollarshaveclub is taking the country by storm and is a very timely idea that is marketed beautifully. Here is how it works, for $1 a month (plus shipping and no membership fee) you get a certificate of membership, a handle and five double edge razors with aloe comfort strips. The total cost a month is about $3. They have a "less hairy plan" ( I love their sense of humor) which means you get the shipments of razors every other month which makes the club very affordable indeed.
Here is is why I believe this shave club is not a scam but a very, very good idea. First, you actually do get a quality razor for the price they advertise and it arrives when they say it will arrive. Second, if your wife or kids are using your razor ( I know what you're thinking but it happens) then you especially need the monthly shipment.In fact, you can step up to a better plan and receive even more blades. Third, let's be honest here, most of us forget to buy razors at the grocery or discount stores and we use the razors we have way, way too many times. I buy cheap, dull discount blades and use them until I am actually rubbing my whiskers off instead of shaving. When you are receiving new blades in your mailbox each month you will absolutely be overjoyed to toss that dull machete you call a razor into the trash and effortlessly glide your new blade through your beard. You will notice the smooth feel and most of all you will experience less irritation and fewer cuts. The dollarshaveclub is a brilliant idea that I wish I had thought of first. I highly recommend this as a part of your daily hygiene and an excellent gift idea as well!
But don't just take my word on it, give it a try yourself.
