Being a lady can be expensive, especially when it comes to
shaving. It is not uncommon to hear women complain about how razors designed specifically
for women are so much more expensive than men’s razors. I recently started
using men’s razors instead of women’s razors to cut down on cost, but it still
ended up burning a hole in my wallet. After seeing the countless ads for Dollar
Shave Club pop up on my Facebook Newsfeed, I figured I might as well give it a
shot and decided to try it out.
With some research, I decided to order the 4X which would
cost $6 a month. There are two other razors you can choose from, but I thought
that that would be the perfect one for me. When you first purchase, you get the
razor and four cartridges then you will receive four cartridges monthly for a
six dollar fee. I also decided to purchase the Shave Butter because I wanted to
see how that product would work for my sensitive legs. My skin is very
sensitive and is prone to break outs on my legs if I use certain products. I
will never forget the Nair scare when my legs turned bright red for a week
while I was on vacation and all I had were shorts and skirts. Anyways, my total
after purchasing the razor and Shave Butter was $14, which is completely
unheard of when purchasing razors. Normally my razors alone are around $14 so I
could definitely see how this was a money saver.
When my package arrived, I was very excited to try my new
razor out. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos of my unboxing, but it
arrived in a small brown box with pamphlets for directions and information
about the product. The razor was heavy and the blades were in a compact brown
sleeve. It was very minimal and professional. No BS, just how I like it.

I will share some TMI with you, because I want to be honest
about this review. You need to know this so you can understand why I call this
the Ultimate Lady Razor: I do not shave often. If I shave, I normally will just
shave my legs from the knee down and my pits. I’m hella single, so I don’t feel
stressed about shaving above the knee or other areas because no one is going to
see that. Also, my legs can feel very irritated after shaving and often hurt. I decided to put this razor to the test and do a full body
shave. Most times that I decide to do a full body shave, it takes two sessions.
This razor was able to give me a completely hairless and smooth body in one
session without having to replace the cartridge. The cartridge was completely
clean after leaving me with the closest and smoothest shave I have ever
received. I would recommend this razor to anyone who is looking to invest in a
quality razor while also saving a lot of money on cartridges. I am so excited
to shave now because I know that it will not be a hassle.
The Shave Butter was also very nice on my skin. The smell is
that of subtle men’s cologne which I actually enjoy because it pairs well with
my Eucalyptus Spearmint sugar scrub that I use. Exfoliating after shaving is
another key helping to ensure a nice, smooth shave.
If you do decide to try Dollar Shave Club out, let me know
what you think about it. Until then, have a lovely day and I’ll be back
Wednesday with another post!
