There must be a lot of profit in the them so makes me think the products are cheap


I used them daily for a while, and their blades worked well. The metal handle is nicely weighted. I don't rate their shaving gel - but that's just my impression - local water and your skin will make it feel different.

If they appear to be less expensive than gillette, then gillette have pushed the price of blades up so much that they've created space for these subscription companies at a lower price point.

They may appear to advertise a lot, but that's just their ads following you around the web, targeted based on fitting a profile. It's how t'interweb marketing works.

Scraping my chops really isn't one of the more important aspects of my life. I couldn't imagine joining a club to do with shaving. The very idea makes me bristle.

Has anyone tried to extend live time of multi blade shavers?

Brushing the blades several times with a nailbrush after shaving does at least double the life span (retaining sharpeness) of the shaver.

Works perfectly on my Gilettes.

I reckon you would consume a quantity of nail brushes!

No, Gillette twin blade lubrastrip 5 in a pack for a £1, each one lasts about a month when the strip disintegrates. Shaving is not high on my list of priorities grin2.
