Review of Dollar Shave Club

Who does not like to have stuff delivered to them by mail before then need it?
Dollar Shave Club offers just that.  They are avialable in the United States, Australia and Canada.

I was debating between Harry's and Dollar Shave Club for a while, but decided to try Dollar Shave Club due to the first month free.   A few friends have mentioned that Harry's has better blades, but I did not want to pay the extra cost and shipping charges just to try something out.

What they offer:

Dollar Shave Club offers you a choice between three razors. The cost at the time of writing is $3.50, $6.50 and $9.50 per month.  This includes shipping and handling.

A few days after I placed my order (and got a coupon code for first month free) the following shipment arrived.  In the United States, first month is free, in Canada you have to request a coupon code (see at the bottom on how to sign up).

The convenient part was that it was shipped directly to the mailbox, and does not require you to be home to sign for it.  


Inside the package was a welcome note with a few hints:
1. You can buy extra handles.  Sadly the cost is $3.50 USD (even though I am in Canada). Note: The first handle comes free.
2. You can change delivery from once every month to once every two months.  This will be highly beneficial for those who do not need new blades every month. (4 blades come in every package).
3. Invite your friends.  For every friend you invite you get one month free  (For my referral link please see below).

The razor I chose was the Executive.

I have used the razor once and was very pleasantly surprised.  The moisture strips worked very well.  I shaved without shaving cream and just used a bit of soap and had no issues.
The only thing that really is missing is the single blade for fine touches.
Compared to Gillete razors which "adjust" to your face, I really found no difference.  

Signing up:

You can use my link to sign up.  After you sign up you can message the Dollar Shave Club Facebook group and they will provide you with a discount code for your first month free. You might have to mention that you are in Canada, as in USA they have first month for free.

Extra Benefits:
For every person you refer you get one month free.
