A Question to MM about . . . "Shaving"
Okay, ready? Here's the question: Have you ever tried Harry's? https://www.harrys.com/ or Dollar Shave Club? http://www.dollarshaveclub.com/ or Gillette by subscription? http://subscription.gillette.com/en-us Aug 25 14 12:40 pm Link I have a friend that does Dollar Shave Club, and he recommends it. Apparently they have a razor that's like unisex so maybe we'll sign up for it when we run out of our current, expensive razors. Aug 25 14 12:43 pm Link I have a lot of friends using dollar shave club that seem to be quite satisfied by it. Aug 25 14 12:55 pm Link This puzzles me - I've never felt that the costs of shaving are all that oppressive. On a yearly basis - I may spend more on sandwich condiments than razors - can you really save THAT much?. Now, I DO understand getting the right razor - one that works for you. But, I never considered the huge need to go outside of the normal commercial channels for this item.

Aug 25 14 03:45 pm Link Of all the things to worry about running out of staples that I use regularly does not make the list. Keep two packages in stock and when I open the second one I buy another. I go to the super market once or twice a week and always check for sales so I am more likely to have three or more packages than one. Same for other non perishable items. Aug 25 14 03:54 pm Link I was going to give them a try but decided on the DE safety razor route. http://sharpologist.com/2013/03/shaving-for-life.html http://www.shavenation.com/ Aug 25 14 04:01 pm Link Alabaster Crowley wrote: Why are you always trying to pick a fight?

Aug 25 14 04:26 pm Link Simple answer is some people shave more than others. When I was shooting I had to shave everything every day/every other day. Thats a lot of shaving. The more you use it the faster your blades dull, and where razor burn or missed spots or stubble is just a mild annoyance to most people, as a model I CANNOT show up on set like that unless I want them starting a rant thread about how unprofessional I was by the time I get home. Where for most people "good enough" works, for me and many others…it just doenst cut it. Gillettes Mach-whatever are considered the best razors, but their blades are 25+ per 4 pack. Thats not 25 bucks a year, thats 25 bucks every month or 2 months. Thats a lot of money. So yeah, for people like that, one of those clubs would be very useful, IF their blades live up to their claims of being comparable to the expensive mens razors. Its not as easy as "just buying the cheaper razors then" as a lot of people tell us to do. A cheaper razor often means a shittier shave, means we show up looking fucking butchered.

Aug 25 14 04:32 pm Link I shave infrequently so I can't imagine it would be worth it to me. A six pack of Gilette Mach WhateverthefuckIbuy lasts me a year. I'm also not much of a bargain hunter so I tend to buy whatever I'm used to and whatever is easiest to get.

They are decent blades and I can change them out each week with no worries about loss of quality. The same kind of blades would cost me over $8 at WalMart for a 4 pack. I recommend them.

It seems to be too much for me. Aug 25 14 07:50 pm Link BlueMoonPics wrote:

work just as well for me as the gillette mach whatevers, and they're a lot cheaper. But I know that what works for my skin/hair is not what works for others.
