Dollar Shave Club offers a subscription service that delivers shaving, shower, skincare, and other grooming products.

Dollar Shave Club, a once-praised brand, has seen a decline in the quality of its products, particularly its razors, according to multiple reviews. The change in design of their razor handle and blades, following the company's acquisition by a private equity firm, has led to a decrease in user satisfaction. The new razors are reported to be less effective, requiring more effort to achieve a close shave, and the new handle feels cheap and is difficult to use. However, some customers still appreciate the brand for its innovative subscription model and the smooth shave provided by its shaving butter. The brand's customer service has also been criticized for being unresponsive and difficult to reach. Despite these issues, a few customers remain loyal to the brand, suggesting that there is still some value in its products.

Wayy too expensive for the quality. Dries out my skin and often leaves me bleeding in the shower. 

I tried the starter bundle but wasn't impressed with the products. The razors gave me too many nicks and cuts during shaving. The scrub was just okay, nothing special. The aftershave was alright as well but didn't make a huge difference post-shave.

on par with Billie - not as sharp/impressive/close shave as Harry's.

I've been using their blades for years and still am! They recently changed their blades for the better and I still really like them! To be fair I haven't tried any of their competitors but it's a product that continues working for me so I'll keep using it. I haven't tried anything other than their blades though!!

Pros: The razor sub idea was innovative when they started like a decade(?) ago.  Pretty cheap compared to store brands.

Cons: They (used to, if not still) just white label different razors that if you do some googling, you could find online and cut out the middleman. This is why all their blades aren't compatible with all their razors. Shave Butter was nothing special either. 

Neutral, I guess: Branding is very masculine. "Originally made for men" but work for women, too. They sell "ball spray." 

Bottom line: Meh. I switched to Billie years ago because of the much better shave and never looked back. 

I've been using DSC for years and don't plan to switch anytime soon. Although the branding is very masculine-based, it's always worked well for me (a woman). For someone with smaller hands, the rubber grip on the handle is a top factor for DSC, along with their amazing shaving butter, which always leaves me with a clean shave.

I am leaving my subscription of three years because the new blades are terrible.  In all 4 blades I have used the lubricant strip came out on first shave.  The blades do not seem to cut as well either.  Honestly,  a big mistake switching the way your blades are made. 

I have used DSC blades for years. Their heritage blades were the absolute BEST blades around and as soon as they switched to their new Club Series blades they went to shit. 
I have cancelled my subscription after years of subscribing.  
Will seek out other alternatives now.
