Dollar Shave Club... awesome?!?! Awesome.

The evidence clearly shows that the earth has been periodically warming up and cooling off for many millions of years. What is unacceptable is the idea that it's anthropologically caused, or that it can be controlled. To suddenly blame the current trend (assuming there is one) on what mankind has been doing over the last 100 years or so, or that we can influence that trend, is simply ludicrous. May as well bark at the moon.

There was a science fiction writer, Michael Crichton, who said something similar, and he got quite viciously castigated as, you know, the usual, "he hates my grandchildren!" etc. And if you quite reasonably suggest that instead of thinking your effecting things by separating your recyclables, you'd be doing more for the grandchildren by ABANDONING NEW ORLEANS, MIAMI, NEW YORK CITY, SAN FRANCISCO, LOS ANGELES AND EVERY SINGLE OTHER PORT CITY IN THE WORLD AND MOVING 150 MILES INLAND,  because that's where the new beaches will be - well, then, YOU'RE the radical. Curious.

I must say, it does appear to me that the human species does carry the seeds of our own extinction within us, but it's not caused by litterbugs, more by the selection for size, aggressiveness and greed that is part and parcel of the two-sex mating selection process. Considering that fish and bugs and even plants come in boys and girls, you have to dig pretty deep to eradicate that.

Doesn't really matter one way or the other since in the blink of a universal eye the earth will be burnt to a crisp and everything will be gone anyway...

On-topic: I use the Schick Fusion and I shave my head, which it works great on, not sure I'd be able to shave my head with a safety razor.  :binkybaby:

 

[AutoBat]

go back & check the site, they have 3 different models: 2, 4, and 6 blades.

Yeah I might go for the 6...

Ok, gotta chime in because I use them.  I got the $6/month model and they are good razors and I'll continue to use them.  I signed up:

1. because razors are one of those things I hate buying and the prices tick me off
2. I liked the video enough that I felt that kid earned a shot.  Great marketing.

 

[dmraco]

they need to market to women too.

I'd recommend starting with a safety razor (like a Merkur 34C or a Gillette Superspeed) and then moving to a straight razor. Initial purchase can be expensive, but you save money in the long run and get a much more respectable shave. Like when a barber gives you a straight shave, except better. Just ordered myself a new Straight, coincidentally. One of these: http://www.straightrazordesigns.com/boker-straight-razors/professionally-sharpened-boker-stainless-steel-5-8-in-black

Definitely worth the initial expense, as I haven't had to buy a blade in forever now. Sure, I got the razor, a strop, a few hones and such for around $400, but I'm not spending $80 every two months on cartridges now. Well worth it, in my book. But since it's not for everyone... Start out with a safety razor wet shaving kit, and see how you like it. If you don't, you haven't lost much money, and can always sell the thing to me. Something like this: http://www.straightrazordesigns.com/safety-razors-wet-shaving-kits/merkur-classic-1904-safety-razor-set

Just my .02 paragraphs. It's worth it if you have the time (About ten minutes) in the morning to do it with a Safety. This is one time where old technology (read: primitive ina  good way) is better. Your face will make babies skin feel like the surface of the moon.  :icon_thumright: The only thing is, you're like to make your face look worse than a piece of meat when Updown is finished with it. At least while you're learning.

Wow, dude takes his shaving seriously.. ccasion14:

Wifey likes smooth skin, wifey gets smooth skin.

Wifey likes smooth skin, my beard will soon be long enough to braid.

 

[rapfohl09]

Five razors per month, 60 per year.  Plus shipping and handling?  Do they ship every month?  Thats gotta be five bucks.  So we're talking  $12 plus $60 shipping.... or if they ship you a years worth... its probably about $15 shipping.  So lets say, $12, plus $15... is $27

For $14.50 I can get a bag of fifty razors at the dollar store.

No deal for me!  Grey beard too!  And... it only gets a neck shave about once a week - goin' for that "B.O. Plenty" character look (from Dick Tracy Comics).

 

[AutoBat]

If you read the site, the monthly price includes shipping.  I pity the fool that uses dollar store razors!

Actually... they're GREAT! 

The true test of a razor, is a woman's legs.  Used to be, I'd grab a new razor, the ol' lady du jour would take the same device and shave her legs.  Toss the razor.

Those dollar store razors hold up great.  Ol' lady can get three or four legs (out of her eight to shave), all from one razor. 

The dollar price... said "plus shipping".  I gotta go back and re-re-reread it.

Ok, the six buck and up plan includes shipping.  The dollar plan does not.

I can shave for less than six bucks a month.  I can shave for maybe $15 a year!
