Dollar Shave Club is an affordable subscription that promises to deliver “a great shave for a few bucks a month”.
When you subscribe, you’ll get your choice of a 2, 4, or 6 blade razor for just $1 shipped for the first month. From then on, they’ll ship a full cassette of cartridges every month for as little as $3. The razor choices are: The Humble Twin (2 blades, 5 cartridges) at $3/month shipped, The 4X (4 blades, 4 cartridges) at $6/mo. shipped, or The Executive (6 blades, 4 cartridges) at $9/mo. shipped.
Dollar Shave Club also offers their own line of men’s grooming products including shave butter, shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, hair products, and more. These are available as add-ons to your monthly box and for purchase on their own.
Since you can get your first box — includes a handle & 4 cartridges — for just $1.00 shipped, it’s absolutely worth trying!
Let’s see what’s in my February 2017 Dollar Shave Club box!
The box!
A peek inside! — I was sent additional products in my intro box for review purposes.
Info cards were included for each of the add-ons, letting you know how to best use them as well as highlighting some of their key ingredients.
“The Executive” 6-Blade Razor & Cartridges
I received Dollar Shave Club’s top-of-the-line razor — the 6-bladed “Executive”. It comes with 4 cartridges per box, which all feature 6 stainless steel blades that allow you to shave with ease. It also features a special trimmer edge built in “for the professional”. The handle itself is nice and weighty with a studded comfort grip.
Dr. Carver’s Shave Butter
This paraben/sulfate-free shave butter is designed to give you the smoothest shave ever. It’s formulated with natural, plant-based ingredients including oat extract, golden barley, Pacific sea algae, and prickly pear cactus. It’s a generously sized 6 ounce bottle and sells for only $8.
Dr. Carver’s Post Shave Cream
A rich, hydrating cream to help soothe the skin after shaving. It’s fast-absorbing, non-greasy, and provides long-lasting hydration with just a dime-sized drop. The formula includes aloe leaf juice, golden barley, prickly pear cactus, and protective antioxidants to help fight against environmental damage.
Wanderer Hydrating Sage Black Pepper Hair and Scalp Shampoo & Conditioner
I believe these are newer offerings from Dollar Shave Club. The Wanderer shampoo includes hydrating pea protein and soothing balm mint that work their way down to the root for a deep clean. It’s sulfate-free so it won’t strip your hair of moisture or make your head feel dry and itchy. The conditioner is also free of sulfates, as well as parabens & synthetic dyes. It contains hair-softening chamomile & oil-controlling lemongrass to provide moisture without weighing it down. Both the shampoo and conditioner leave your scalp feeling cool and refreshed with a tingly mint finish.
Dollar Shave Club is a convenient, affordable way to get high quality shaving (and grooming!) products without having to leave the house (or pay overinflated prices). While I didn’t get to review them this time, I’m personally a big fan of their “One Wipe Charlies“. So soothing! 😉 — Remember, you can get your first box — includes a handle & 4 cartridges — for just $1.00 shipped!
