Not a paid post. NOT A PAID POST. I am sick and tired of the prices of razors. I tried the knock-off store brands, which resulted in many scratches as the handles would quickly deteriorate and drop the blades at random times, causing the blunt edge of the cartridge holder to slide not-so-lovingly against my skin. Mmm, fresh scratches.

An Edit 6 Years After-The-Fact

Edit: I no longer use Dollar Shave Club. I’m not sure what it is, but I feel as though something changed in the last 4 years. I have now started using a Schick Hydro razor and have setup a Subscribe and Save service through Amazon in order to get these razors at a decent discount. The trick is to use men’s razors, because Pink Tax is indeed real. Since I use their subscribe and save service, I receive a 20% discount so I pay a total of $11.99 every three months, which I feel is a pretty decent price. Of course, these links have an affiliate code attached to them.

I highly recommend this razor as it is multifunctional with blade razors on one side and an electric razor on the other. The battery is replaceable. I’ve used it for a year now and don’t have many negative things to say about this Schick Hydro 4-in-one razor.

I was also sick of paying–on average–$30.00 for 6 cartridges, each of which would last me maybe a week before losing its sharpness. This means changing it once a week if you didn’t feel like using a dull razor and harvesting the true power of ingrown hairs. Rawr. In essence, this worked out to roughly $20.00 per month. A cost that I could only talk myself into when my tax return comes. Living the big life, you guys. Big dreams.

I’ve endured a lot of ingrown hairs. What can I say?

I’m a daily shaver, sometimes every other day, but since the age of 20, I’ve rarely gone more than a day in between shaving my legs and arm pits… And my arms. Thank you, Cody Ward for saying my arms look like that of a monkey in grade 10. I remember. Oh, I remember. And other things.

I go through cartridges easily. So the point of this post is! (Drum roll, please)

Dollar Shave Club is in Canada. They ship in Canada! I was billed $7.29 Canadian on August 15th and yesterday, I checked the mail to receive this:

This is a referral link if you’d like to give them a try: here. These guys have three cartridge options (one blade, two blades, too many to count blades) and one heck of a great personality to back up their brand:
