I will be the first to admit, when I first saw the commercial for The Dollar Shave Club, I thought it was a spoof of some sort. There was no way that this guy (company) was really going to sell me a razor for a dollar.
It wasn't really until I saw a friend 'in the know' talk about it and how brilliant the campaign was that I gave it much credence.
Shortly after I got the idea to try to get razor manufacturers to send me razors to review I disclosed the idea to a coworker.
He immediately told me I should contact The Dollar Shave Club. He said he has been using them for a while. He was adamant that I at least try. So after a small handful of tweets to @dollarshaveclub I received a response from @ask_dsc telling me to send them my address because they wanted to hook me up!
Within 10 days of that conversation, I found this lovely 4X razor sitting in my mailbox.
The package came with a handle, 4 cartridges, various cards, and some very interesting 'Shave Butter' Dr. Carver's Shave Butter to be precise.
I normally only use shave soap and a brush, but since it came along, I decided to give it a shot.
It went on clear but I could definitely tell it was there. Not real heavy or greasy, but enough slipperiness to all the razor to glide quite nicely across my head and face. I didn't even have to reapply (not that I could; the package they sent was just enough to coat my head and face one time) and was able to shave my head and face [with and against the grain on the face.]
After rinsing and toweling my head and face dry, my freshly shaven skin felt nourished and smooth.
I generally shave on Sunday morning and Thursday morning. But I have to say, by Wednesday, I was ready for another shave. I don't know if it was the shave butter, or the blade itself. I will probably do another review using shave soap instead of shave butter.
Overall, I give the razor (with shave butter) 3.5 out of 5.
