Dollar Shave Club
Dollar Shave Club has by far been one of the best investments I’ve made for myself. I don’t know about everyone else but I find the prices of razor today to be completely ridiculous. I once went into my local drugstore to replace my old razor blades only to find that they were $20 for a pack of only three! I looked next to the pricey blades to find the razor itself for only $9.99, it was at that moment that I knew I would no longer let this company burn a hole in my wallet. When walking down the women’s shave aisle, it’s easy to see that we’re simply paying for pretty packaging and fancy moisturizing features that most of us could care less about. I just need my legs to be shaved, I can moisturize them on my own…so what’s the need to pay for all the extra stuff? Dollar Shave Club offers 3 razor options, each tiered depending upon price and quality. The most expensive one is only $9. They send you monthly refills for your blades so that you no longer have to worry about having a dull razor or ridiculous prices for new ones. You can adjust how often you receive them and they offer an amazing lineup of shaving, styling and skin care products that you can add on to your order. I have the least expensive one which works like a charm and leaves my legs soft and hairless, to make things even better, I receive automatic monthly refills for only $3.
