I Found a Way to Get That Fresh Razor Feeling on Every Shave (Without Going Broke.)

There’s Nothing Like the Feeling of a Clean Shave With a Fresh Razor. 

Call me a snob all you want, but tell me you don’t also get that magic feeling from opening a fresh razor and gliding it across your face for the first time. I’ve gotten so used to using the disposable razors one time and tossing them… even though I know how disgustingly wasteful and obnoxious that is. 

But the thing that really got me to consider how to change my habit was the cost. Turns out ripping through disposable razors isn’t good for the earth or my wallet. First, I tried one of those one-blade razors… but I immediately cut myself and knew it wasn’t the answer. And then I found it: Dollar Shave Club. 

I’d heard of them before—a subscription service that sends affordable but quality razors to your door. But my buddy said he’d been using Dollar Shave Club for months and found that, on top of the value being insane, they had an elite combo of a translucent shave butter and a 3-in-1 Electric Trimmer/Razor for power trimming and close-shaving in the same tool. 

He told me that, when it comes to getting that fresh razor feeling, Dollar Shave Club is unmatched. And, after trying it out for a few months, I can confirm. This sh*t completely rips. 

My First Experience With the Dollar Shave Club Routine

If you’re like me, you remember Dollar Shave Club’s first viral ad that got them over 12,000 subscribers in 3 days. But since their message of “our blades are f*cking great…” they’ve built out an entire ecosystem of shave products that consistently offer incredible value for little money. 

My buddy recommended I get their Ultimate Shave Travel Kit ($76 $65) which comes with the 3-in-1 Freestyler Electric Trimmer, a 4-count of their 6 Blade razors, Prep Scrub, Shave Butter, Post Shave Dew, a razor cover, and a nifty toiletry bag. My order shipped lightning fast, and right off the bat I knew I was gonna love this stuff. 

The 3-in-1 Freestyler was as cool as its reputation made it out to be. It’s basically got a ceramic-blade power trimmer on one end and a normal 6 Blade razor head on the other end, so I can trim down my beard first before wiping the slate clean with their made-in-house, stainless steel razor blades.

And Let Me Tell You, This System Is Impeccable.

First of all, the translucent Shave Butter is a game changer. It softens the beard hairs for maximum glide like any great shaving cream, but you can actually see where you’re shaving. The trimmer head of the Freestyler is great for getting my face prepped (my beard grows unnervingly quickly)… but the real stars of the show are the DSC razors. 

After getting started with the Travel Kit, I ended up signing up for the $10 6-Blade monthly subscription. Now I’m getting barber-quality shaves from the comfort of my own bathroom with top-tier blades that just show up on my doorstep.

And the best part? That fresh razor feeling never goes away. I can use DSC’s razors three to four times before they lose that how-the-f*ck*-are-these-so-sharp quality. I’m paying $2.50 per blade and I have the ultimate system in place (one that fits neatly into my snazzy travel bag, at that). 

The cartridges even have a precision blade on the top for getting the perfect clean-cut lines where I want them. DSC thought of everything so I don’t have to. My face has never felt so smooth and clean. 

More Clean Shaves, Less Regrets (+ More Money in the Bank…)

Ultimately, Dollar Shave Club is simple. It’s just the best razors on a great handle for an absurdly low price. If you’re like me and have a face that grows a tad too unruly, the Ultimate Shave Travel Kit with the double-headed trimmer + razor might be your saving grace, but anybody can benefit from these shave products. 

Getting that fresh razor feeling doesn’t have to mean stocking up on shitty disposables from CVS. DSC takes the effort (and the priciness) out of the equation and gets you real results—fast and easy. I’m fully locked in to the DSC train, and it’s worth mentioning they offer free shipping and a 30-day guarantee if you want to try it out risk-free, too. 

It feels illegal to get razors this good for this cheap. If you’re looking for a better alternative to your shaving routine, you just found it.
