I’m a long time subscriber to Dollar Shave Club and have been using their Executive Razor for years. They recently changed to a new Club Razor, that is frankly pure trash. I tried giving it a month or two, but every time I use it I just get mad about how shitty it is compared to their old ones.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good, cheap blades like Dollar Shave Club used to offer?

    I order Dorco blades (I forget where… Amazon? Or maybe direct from Dorco USA?). In fact I think dollar shave club might just be rebranded dorcos.

      Thanks. Looked up Dorco on Amazon and found some that said they’re the same thing as the old Dollar Shave Executive Razors. Appreciate it!

    Get a nice safety razor, buy a pack of like 100 blades. When you run out, you just buy more blades for super cheap. It will no joke last you a lifetime for an infinitely smaller amount of money. Looks and feels nicer too. Realize I’m replying months late, but I hope you got it figured out lol.

      Thanks for the reply. I switched to Dorco blades, which are the same ones DSC used to sell before they changed to their new shitty ones. Been happy so far.

    If you are looking for cost effective, saftey razors are the way to go. Though it takes some getting used to.

    I also gave up on DSC. I switched to an old school safety razor, haven’t looked back. You can get blades from anywhere, for super cheap, and honestly it’s a far far better shave than I’ve ever gotten from the multi-blade crap.

    I recommend you learning how to use a shavette. The disposable blades are super cheap and it is kind of fun to shave with them.

    There are great razors that use cartridge blades. Great option and blades are not expensive. Mine will outlast me
