So, you might have heard, but a couple of years ago the large consumer products conglomerate Unilever (Axe, Dove Men+Care, Brut, etc.) bought Dollar Shave Club<\/a> for $1 Billion dollars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s no small chunk of change, especially given that Dollar Shave Club<\/a> was able to garner that type of valuation after only being in business for 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known primarily for their insanely viral video<\/a> that made them a household name, men have taken noticed and have made Dollar Shave Club an integral part of their morning routine\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026and with good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Razors are expensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To have a sharp blade on the end of your cartridge razor is by no means cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with competition becoming fierce in the men\u2019s grooming world, razor prices have by and large come down over the years and us men don\u2019t have to fork over such a large sum of money to just simply look good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the deal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inevitably, men who are so accustomed to paying such a high price for a razor are suddenly apprehensive when a company comes along and claims that they can provide a great shave for a fraction of the cost\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026and understandably so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we test drove the Harry\u2019s razor in our in-depth review<\/a>, while the marketing was slick, the razor performance just simply missed the mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s this type of poor performance that can make men go back to their existing shave system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But onwards we must search for better (and cheaper) alternatives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So without further ado, let\u2019s get started with our full review of the Dollar Shave Club:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are We Being Paid By Dollar Shave Club To Write This Post?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a word:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We, like all our readers, paid for this product with our own money:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We have no one stuffing our back pocket making us blindly say only positive things about Dollar Shave Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we feel some things just aren\u2019t that great, we will tell you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we do want to note that, like most websites nowadays, have an affiliate relationship with Dollar Shave Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t tell you specifics (because we don\u2019t really care that much), but we do get paid a few cents if you buy anything from Dollar Shave Club if you click on a link<\/a> in this article \u2013 all at no additional cost to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you might be wondering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are getting paid, then this is a completely biased review!!!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that assumption would be right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the fact is that if you did end up ordering from Dollar Shave Club and decided for yourself that it was complete garbage and returned it, those couple of cents we made from the sale would be forfeited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we think it\u2019s a fair deal and one that ensures we do deliver the best (and most accurate) information possible to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
