I've been tempted to use that company as i go through the fusion razors pretty quickly. I use them to shave my head every 3-4 days.

If i were just using them on my face i could probably get by on 1 a year or something like that.

Anyone have any feedback from this yet? Was thinking of trying it... what did you get, what did you use before, and how do they compare?

Was using a DE merkur am now using the executive for when I am in a rush and don't have the time to properly use the DE razor. Works great, right when I am about to run out it seems the next months supply arrives. Will def keep this up!

FYI, you can buy the razors direct from the manufacturer for much cheaper than Dollar Shave Club:

Some guy figured out that they were marking up Dorco brand razors.

You could have spent a little more and gotten laser hair removal been set for the next 80 years.

When I looked into that before, laser hair removal from you face didn't work very well. Patchy results.

That's part of why you get multiple treatments. Each treatment for me is 75$ . It's getting 3-6 that makes it cost a lot. I'm getting it because I have a freakishly thick bread though. Even if I shaved 8 directions in a hot show till it was smooth I still had a 5 o'clock shadow from the hair under my skin. That and I'd get ingrown hairs that would burrow across my skin and leave nasty wounds even if all I did was shave with the grain.

Yeah I found that shortly after my last post. Problem is they aren't in stock, and from what I've read they almost never are. Yesterday the handle + razor was in stock, but refill cartridges were out of stock. Today you can preorder refills, but they are out of handles. Oh well, I can wait.

Well I got my 6 blade razor direct from Dorco today and just finished shaving with it. I've got mixed feelings about it. On the one hand my face is smoother from shaving with the grain with the Dorco than shaving against the grain with the Fusion. On the other hand, I've got some wtf razor bumps on my neck. I never get those.. could just be because my skin isn't used to it. Dunno, I'll see what happens next time.
Also the trimmer is tricky compared to the one on the Fusion - made it kind of hard to get the hairs right under my nose.

Tried the mid-level razor now for two months. My verdict is that they are just ok. I dont get as close as a shave as I do with the Mach 3 and I find it hard to make a clean trim line with my side burns & goatee with this razor. Im going back to the Mach 3.

 

[etrigan420]

They work well enough for me...

I actually bumped it back to get the razors every other month, and it's working out pretty well. Never have to worry about running out, which is nice.

I use the gillette fusion and spend about $5/mth on blades. It doesn't look like the dollar shave club would save me any money.

 

[disappoint]

So I'm on the yous tubes looking at safety razors and shaving videos and a while later found myself watching videos of crystal set radios with a blued razor blade and pencil lead for the "detector" instead of a diode. lol

I currently use a merkur, but I'll give the Dorco razor & blades a shot. Gonna be a tester for my dad and brother in law, since they both buy fusion cartridges (which are stupid expensive).
