    I just received my order and am thoroughly disgusted. There is visible hair on the razors that were shipped to me. This is a health hazard and is completely unacceptable. I will immediately be disposing of any and all blades we have received from Dollar Shave Club. I can't believe we have used them for so many years. We will need to get an infectious disease test completed immediately, apparently. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!

    Since Dollar Shave Club switched their new blades and handle and their website the quality has dropped significantly. I have repeated tried to cancel my account and despite repeated attempts they keep sending me blades. I am currently trying to dispute this with my credit card company. They still seem to refuse to cancel my account and remove my CC information.

    Like many others, Dollar Shave Club used to provide handles and blades at a quality and price point that rivaled competitors like Gillette. Recently was forced to switch to their new Club Series handle and blades which performed absolutely woefully. After three attempts at a close shave with a brand new blade barely making a dent in my stubble, the "new" blade was looking sad and worn. I picked up my old razor with well used blades to finish the job. Sadly this serious drop in quality has caused me to drop my subscription and look at more environmentally friendly competitors like Leaf.

    Just like most of you here, I’ve been a member of DSC for many years and their quality was outstanding. From their blades to handles. The new handles are like something out of a Cracker Jack box and the blades are worse than a dull disposable razor. What in the world possessed them to make that change? Greed? Anyway whoever approved that change should be punished by having to shave with them. I canceled just now and went with Barbasol Shave Club. DSC? Get your act together.

    The old blades were great. Their new blades are like shaving with a butter knife. I have to shave three times to get a clean shave. They have gone from great to crap over night. I am looking for a new provider. Very disappointing.

    I've been a customer with DSC for many years and was very satisfied with their blades, UNTIL someone made a stupid decision to "upgrade" their blades to Club Series. Well, these blades not only nicks the bottom of my nose, but it doesn't have a good smooth shaving and doesn't shave well either. It's been 2 months trying their new blades thinking it might just be a bad batch, but no, it's all the time. My wife feels the difference when she uses it too. Not smooth shaving. I think it's the rubber part of the blade that keeps it from a smooth shave and skip while shaving, hence the nicks. I just cancelled my subscription, their loss.

    Listening to all the hype, I thought these razors were worth a try. However, I didn't realize you had to buy a bunch of razors every month! I ordered the sample pack to give it a try and not only did they send me the sample pack BUT, here comes another order of blades 2 days later!! Now, the razors themselves, I tried the first one, shaved, shaved again, hmmm still stubble. I tried them a second time, shaved, three directions, then got out my old Gillette and finished the job!! Recommend this product?? Save your money. Go buy something that works..

    They have new handle and blades. I like them both. In the 15 years I have been a paying customer of theirs I have had a few "bad" blades, defective from the manufacturer, and the customer service was very quick to respond and fix the issue always adding something extra to make the experience even better. I also had a handle malfunction after many years of service, they quickly replaced it, no hassle. Great company and good product for an awesome price and convenience

    Our household used to have 2 handles and loved the razor blades we received every month. I don't know what happened, but the new blades are horrible! They skim over hair, and after repeatedly going over the same area, I now get razor burn. We have canceled our subscription. If you decide to go back to quality products, we would likely renew our subscription.

    I was very pleased with their product, I had three handles for the blades that I liked so much. Then they randomly sent a new handle that doesn't work with the old blades. The new blades are so cheap they're not even as good as the old blades if they were dull. Do not waste your money.

    Longtime former Dollar Shave Club user. The original Executive razor was the best in the industry in my opinion. The new blades are flimsy at best, cheaply made and require multiple passes for a clean shave. This re-design was definitely a cost reduction initiative and they did a great job. These blades are absolutely terrible.

    Dollar Shave Club (I've been with them over ten years!) used to have fantastic six blade cartridges and a very nice handle. This year (2023) they were bought out by a private equity firm who promptly ruined everything. They cheapened the handle so it's a light, rubber unbalanced piece of crap, with a floppy spring piece that makes the blade head difficult to control (you end up pushing really hard and shaving at funny angles to compensate for this and the now poor quality of the cartridges), and new blades that just suck and do not shave closely anymore.

    At the same time, they made it so the new handle won't fit the discontinued six blade cartridge that was very good, and the new and crappy six blade cartridges won't fit the old handle that was also very good. No surprise, several months after this transition they've now just released a heavy metal handle that appears to be nothing more than a new iteration of the discontinued executive handle I liked so much that you have to purchase from them if you want a decent handle. In short, they took what was a great product and cheapened it to the point where it is not worth buying or using anymore, and discontinued the good product I was used to, while raising their prices. Then they try to get you to buy a new handle that is just a repackaging of the old handle, but you can't use the old handle because they made the new crappy cartridges such that the old handles won't fit them.

    These private equity firms are always such pigs and so short sighted they ruin everything they ever touch. I just cancelled my membership, and now I'm trying Dorco blades and handle that is available on Amazon and is supposed to be the same or similar to what Dollar Shave Club was selling before the greedy private equity buffoons bought the company and ruined everything.

    They changed the blades which are junk so I canceled it. Well I tried it again on Oct.26, 2023. They claim they have tracking but they don't. I have tried to track it even to this day of Nov. 4, 2023 and it says no tracking available, so I have canceled it again. I will not be trying them again nor do I recommend them.

    They get you in the door with the product then start sending you new style blades that does not work with the new handle. When you confront them about this, they tell you that handle will fit. But you send in photos that prove it doesn’t fit and they tell you it’s your tough luck. Not even trying to send out the correct handle.

    The razor barely shaves, I tried it on my legs and on my face and in both places it shaves most of the hair but not all of it. On my face I couldn't get it to shave all the way down to my face and on my leg I had to go over the same area 3-4 times to get it to shave completely. I can get better quality than this garbage from Walmart and it comes in big packs.

    I've been a member for years and have always loved my DSC razors until recently. When you discontinued my executive blades and made me go to these new blades my entire opinion has changed. I used to be able to shave 8 or 10 times before I needed to change blades but now a brand new fresh blade is duller than a used blade of old. Don't know how you think these are better but they are not, please go back to the executive blade so we don't have to switch to Harry's...

    I have been a Dollar Shave Club for several years. I had accumulated a surplus of razor blades so I took a break from their regular shipments. A month ago, I ran low and decided to purchase blades again about a year after my last shipment. Their site no longer had my last order information so I could not look up to see the exact blades I had ordered last. I decided to just order the 6 blade razors they had only to find out that they did not work with the existing handles.

    I then emailed them asking 1. Which handle would work with the new blades. 2. Which razor blades would work with the existing handles that I had. I sent them follow up emails but even after almost a month, they failed to reply. They are also not available via chat. I will not purchase from Dollar Shave Club again. They have terrible customer service.

    I've been a member of Dollar Shave Club for 6 or 7 years now. These new blades are absolutely terrible. They are cheaply made and are not sharp. You can't get a close shave. I'm not sure why they moved from their old blades which were really good to these new blades. I'm now leaving and trying to find a new company. I hope this review helps.

    I restarted my subscription because we ran out of blades, but after one transaction I've cancelled it. They say they don't charge shipping on razors only, but they charged me $8 to ship ONLY razors. I ordered no other products, not even a replacement handle. I reached out to their customer service twice about this and never got a response. Now I'm seeing reviews here on CA that say their razors are trash, so I'll see what they're like when they arrive, but I'm not holding my breath. Don't waste your time or money regardless.

    So I have been a member for many years. Nothing but Doves flying outta my ** while running through a bed of Daisies. Up until you all forgot to pay your communication bill to your valued customers. I recently tripled my order, trusting DSC has never done wrong...Yet. 1/2 shipments showed up. Opened it up and missing my cologne collection thingy (happens to be the most expensive item on the menu missing but paid for). The other package showed up 2 weeks later AND I owe $10.20 postage...lol. Now, mistakes happen, but the big picture here is Communication to your members. You are losing members on the daily. Me? PS- You lost another package, about 40 bucks worth and nothing resolved but I didn't shame you for that one. Anyways, can someone return one of my plethora of messages? Thanks. Have a great day.

    I had been a Dollar Shave Club member for many years. Not too long ago they switched from one razor type to another. About a week before they switched my wife lost her handle. I bought another one. They didn't bother to tell me that this handle I purchased would soon be obsolete. I have 3, I travel a lot so I had one in a travel bag, plus the two we had at home. They were giving away one handle during the switch, so I write to them and ask about the one I bought and also the other travel handle I had. I wanted to know who was going to refund me for the worthless handle I just bought and how much it would cost me to replace the other.

    It took almost 2 months to get a reply. By this time I was not happy so I told them they had to give me 3 handles or I was going elsewhere. They said they would do that. I waited another 2 months and never received even 1 handle (fortunately I still had some of the old blades). At this point I signed up for HARRY's. Best move I ever made. I should thank DSC for screwing up because Harry's products blow the doors off of DSC's.
