Watching the video I noticed Bob likes the 5 o'clock shadow look. Or maybe he's got better things to do with his life than worry about a clean shave all the time.
It triggered something in my memory to a FB post one of my buddies posted about a week ago. It was for Harry's razor blade and shave system.
Any guy who needs to shave regularly knows that Gillette and Schick are making mojo cash because they have the market cornered for good, reliable shave products.
But I'm getting ticked off at dropping $15-$20 a month on blades.
Does anyone use the Dollar Shave Club blades or the Harry's or any other type of blade out of the mainstream?
These reviews give both Harry's and Dollar Shave decent reviews.

And for the record, the video on the Dollar Shave Club website is clever and funny.
In the past I've bought my razors at Sam's Club. I hope they still stock them, because blade inserts for the Gillette Sensor Xcel III are getting harder and harder to find, and that's my point. One insert lasts me a couple months or more. That means a cartridge may last up to 2 years. I shave in the shower after I wash everything up and place my razor standing upright in a little basket so it can dry. Water will inevitably hit your face as you're washing your hair and if you wash your face both before and after you shave, you can tell how good you were at shaving that morning. Your hands will just glide over your face instead of feeling the sandpaper like scruff. If I shave outside the shower (i.e. my parent's bathroom does not have a shaving mirror or in hotels), it is always immediately after a shower, as in don't even dry off until I'm done.
And like that, you're monthly $20 expense turns into a $20 biannual expense.
