Buddy of mine works in barbasol factory. He told me after the Gillett ad they were busier then shit. They all laughed about it too. That was just 1 factory location.
Agreed. I was optimistic when I first started seeing conservative youtube channels advertising DSC. my first visit to their website absolutely disgusted me. I never bought from them. Blatantly obvious lefties.
Barbasol is owned by a small company that pretty much only owns Barbasol. To my knowledge they are non-political - their last tweet is about respecting heroes on Memorial Day.
Dollar Shave Club is owned by Unilever, a leviathan megacorporation that owns dozens of other major brands including Ben & Jerry's, which is infamous for their "Resist" brand of ice cream.
I don't care what shaving cream you use though (as long as you're not buying it from a lefty company). I just know that Barbasol is good and non-political. There are many options for shaving creams and shaving soaps other than it.
On saving money ... I have a 23 year old pair of clippers... I "shave" down to a 5 o clock shadow. repeat every couple months. I'm so fucking lazy and uncouth it's insane lol but somehow I get away with it. I'm never, ever clean shaven.
I cancelled too! Barbasol has always been dear to me anyways. I told DSC I was tired of white leftists starting race wars in order to get career politicians elected...a little fearful since they have my account info. But that’s a lawsuit waitin to happen no?
How confident are you that barbasol isn’t SJW? Pretty much every single major company is.
I’m asking for reals. I had bought a BUNCH of gillete razors just before their shit commercial. I’m not just throwing them away, but I’ll need a new razor soon.
This is the way I tell everyone to shave when the subject comes up and this is the way I will teach my kids to shave. The handle for the blade is $20, but you can buy a 100 pack of blades for like $10. It absolutely blows me away people spend upwards of $30 a month shaving, even using the same razor blade for many shave sessions, when I use a fresh blade each shave because they are so cheap. I never had a smoother and cleaner face, and I never spent less money on shaving.
I would never go back to those Gillette or whatever other brand makes those plastic razor blades. They are expensive and they suck. Learn to use a safety razor, and never look back. There’s a reason your great grandfather, grandfather, and father all used these blades their whole lives. $20 may seem expensive up front, but you will use it until the day you die.
I like to use the analogy it’s just like comparing an inkjet printer vs a laser printer. The inkjet is cheap but you will constantly be raped by ink prices. The laser one is more expensive up front but much, much cheaper per page printed.
Of course not many people print stuff so they have no need for an expensive printer and just get the inkjet and use it a few times a year, but with a razer it’s different because nearly everyone out there shaves multiple times a week, both men and women, so it makes sense to invest in something you literally use all the time for decades.
They get more dull after each use, I have no idea how a disposable lasts you months. My facial hair comes in thick so my blades get ruined quick and since a blade costs me like 10 cents it doesnt matter to use a new one each time.
Dude idk how. I have a harry’s razor that’s been on the same cartridge for almost 2 months. Facial exfoliator first then it’s usually a smooth shave, even with a used razor.
I guess I don’t have a job where I have to be clean shaven all the time so maybe that helps? Still weird to be spending a shitload of money of razors of all things
If you like a super close shave with minimal fuss for very little money, I can confirm that nothing beats a double-edged safety razor. A decent properly-weighted handle is maybe $30 tops and you can splurge on super high quality blades. There are several variety packs on Amazon you can use to get a feel for what brands and types of blades work best for you. When used correctly with fresh quality blades you will not get razor burn. In quantity the blades are so cheap you can use a new one ever few shaves and not even care.
However... on a total whim I picked up one of the Philips Norelco OneBlade face + body starter packs. Wife likes it because the cut hairs are less sharp when they start growing back and I like it because it's plenty close for me and I get zero razor burn ever. More expensive, but it's a solid product. Still cheaper in the long run than Gillette for sure.
I bought a Merkur (German) double-sided safety razor a long time ago and it gives me a great shave every time, and now there's American companies making safety razors again. I'd recommend Battle Brothers (USA) or Feather (Japan). Throw that dull disposable gillette/dsc garbage in the trash where it belongs.
If you go for a shave brush, I suggest getting a synthetic brush unless you want to deal with the bad smell of a natural brush for a month until it's conditioned.
I’ve received notifications from several businesses about their support for BLM. Good to know those are companies I no longer support. Looking at you Target, Lowe’s, McDonald’s and others.
It’s going to be every business because those that don’t profess love for BLM will be shaken down. Jesse “King of Beers” Jackson has been doing this for decades with his PUSH Coalition.
So let’s do what they do to us and boycott these businesses. It’s the only way to get the CEOs attention. That, and writing letters of displeasure about their support of BLM then, we won’t support their business. Idk ... we need to take a proactive stance. Thanks for your reply!
PS: check out LiveLeak news online for a list of businesses supporting BLM
I see it is time to DOUBLE efforts to start shopping local. I got a good little place that does burgers. They are more expensive than mcd's, but mcd's is now officially dead to me. I am lucky to have another small store that does some of what target does. We also have a couple of hardware stores. God Bless America!
Thank you for responding. It’s heartwarming to know there are others feeling the same as I do. In my community we have many family-owned & local businesses to select from. Yes, they will be rewarded from people like us to support them. TRUMP 2020-—KAG
I’m the same way - I rarely use a razor other than beard trimmers. I have a lot of women in my household though and they all need their pits and legs shaved. Not sure what we are gonna do now yet.
Systemic racism. So where is this system? How is it racist? Does anyone have any evidence of actual racism? Of course not. Where is all this crime and injustice focused? Where is all this poverty and despair? Where are these black people being oppressed? Oh in Democrat controlled cities? Fascinating. So the people who are saying the system is racist live in cities run by Democrats who promise year after year to end racism? Dude you’re being lied to. Or you’re an idiot for believing them.
What the fuck is systemic racism, even?! I’ve yet to get a good answer to that question. Their answer is always, “if I have to educate you, you’re too stupid to understand.”
I do believe the time for dialog has ended.
EDIT: Oh wait, I have an example of systemic racism: minority scholarships and affirmative action. Never mind.
Another sjw to drop, first Harry's, then Gillette, now Dollar, I'll try Barbasol until I hear otherwise. So disappointed, just stay out of politics and sell me your stuff!
THIS is what we have to do. Hit em where it hurts... in their pockets! They can silence us on media but this is something we must do. Get woke, go broke.
Henry Cavendish Himalaya Shaving Soap with Shea Butter & Coconut Oil. Long Lasting 3.8 oz Puck Refill.
Perfecto 100% Pure Badger Shaving Brush
Perfecto Deluxe Chrome Razor and Brush Stand
Henry Cavendish Gentleman's Ceramic Shaving Soap Bowl with Handle.
The blades are good for a long time.The shaving soap pucks are also an excellent value. The razor itself, the stand, and the shaving mug will most likely outlive me.
I got that email today as well. Cancelled my DSC sub today with this message ‘I prefer not to have my dollars go to a mafia type organization or the DNC. I subscribed to get politics out of my products so now I will be looking elsewhere.’ Logged out and uninstalled app. Another user recommended Dorco brand Pace 6 Pro blades as an alternative.
When you buy products that donate to these organizations, you are also donating because they are using your money for donations. Target is my favorite store on the planet, I've spent thousands but no longer and believe me it really sucks.
Ditto on the double edge safety razor and blades. Get that with a nice shaving soap, a shaving soap bowl/mug, a badger brush, a quality after shave lotion, and you're set. You shave like a grown-ass man with this stuff and it'll feel like you're being pampered. Nice close shave, fragrant manly shaving soap..it doesn't get any better than that.
Let's pretend for a minute Black Lives Matter isn't a fundraising scam for Democrats, what is the cover reason a thing like BLM would even need donations? Why would they legitimately need millions of dollars to have "real people", 'naturally", attend rallies? Where does he money factor into this at all?
If it was legitimate, you make a hashtag, people like it and agree, people hold protests, you convince people at protests to your message, you vote for changes. I fail to see where money should even factor into the equation what so ever.
Know how many unarmed black men were killed by the police in the last year? 10.
TEN.
Also? Most of them may not have been armed, but were attempting to attack or disarm the officer, or committing another act of violence warranting such a response.
What about Harry’s razors? My husband got a subscription when Gillette had their cuck tantrum and really likes the shave. Have they converted to the BLM Fundamentalist Church?
You’re not wrong but I do think that seeing profits or stock or whatever dip after making public statements like that can help corporations rethink their signaling. Probably not, but who knows. I don’t expect to withhold my business forever. We’ll see.
Dam, I joined dollar shave club to get away from cucked Gillette. Does anyone have a recommendation so that I can ditch dollar shave?
Barbasol
Did this a year ago. Never looked back.
Dollar Shave Club has been lefty for years. Anybody who switched to them from Gillette simply didn't do their research.
The best way to go IMO is Barbasol shaving cream and double-edged razors. Way cheaper and there's no way they'll donate millions to lefty causes.
Buddy of mine works in barbasol factory. He told me after the Gillett ad they were busier then shit. They all laughed about it too. That was just 1 factory location.
Agreed. I was optimistic when I first started seeing conservative youtube channels advertising DSC. my first visit to their website absolutely disgusted me. I never bought from them. Blatantly obvious lefties.
why?
Are they like non political who owns them?
Barbasol is owned by a small company that pretty much only owns Barbasol. To my knowledge they are non-political - their last tweet is about respecting heroes on Memorial Day.
Dollar Shave Club is owned by Unilever, a leviathan megacorporation that owns dozens of other major brands including Ben & Jerry's, which is infamous for their "Resist" brand of ice cream.
I don't care what shaving cream you use though (as long as you're not buying it from a lefty company). I just know that Barbasol is good and non-political. There are many options for shaving creams and shaving soaps other than it.
Seconded. I joined after gillette got cucked.
Thirded. Started using Barbasol the day after that Gillette commercial. Never liked DSC, their website is wonky and I don't need "asswipes".
Buy a double edge safety razor and shave soap. Itll save you thousands of dollars and give you a better shave.
On saving money ... I have a 23 year old pair of clippers... I "shave" down to a 5 o clock shadow. repeat every couple months. I'm so fucking lazy and uncouth it's insane lol but somehow I get away with it. I'm never, ever clean shaven.
I do the same thing once a week, though that's cause I get shaving infections if I use razors.
Same exactly.
There seem to be many of us.
Same. Every few days a 1 on the trimmer to the face.
This one here, you‘ll hate your former self for buying into the cartridge crap for that long
Can you recommend one?

Get a Badger hair brush and then Proraso Menthol soap. You're set for at least 2 years.
Just made the move.
I cancelled too! Barbasol has always been dear to me anyways. I told DSC I was tired of white leftists starting race wars in order to get career politicians elected...a little fearful since they have my account info. But that’s a lawsuit waitin to happen no?
How confident are you that barbasol isn’t SJW? Pretty much every single major company is.
I’m asking for reals. I had bought a BUNCH of gillete razors just before their shit commercial. I’m not just throwing them away, but I’ll need a new razor soon.
They're an american & christian company, basically the Chickfila of shaving products
Except chik-fil-a folded to the militant LGBTQWERTY agenda...but I get your point
Subscription based?
Edit - y'all right just buy it when you need it!
Grow a beard, it's free.
Or look into a double edged safety razor, you can buy blades from any number of companies, including ones from Japan or Europe.
You won't be fucked by the Injet Printer model of "Here's the handle for free, let me sell you the blades for 600% markup!"
This is the way I tell everyone to shave when the subject comes up and this is the way I will teach my kids to shave. The handle for the blade is $20, but you can buy a 100 pack of blades for like $10. It absolutely blows me away people spend upwards of $30 a month shaving, even using the same razor blade for many shave sessions, when I use a fresh blade each shave because they are so cheap.

There’s a reason your great grandfather, grandfather, and father all used these blades their whole lives. $20 may seem expensive up front, but you will use it until the day you die.
100%. It truly is the best way to shave and also happens to be exponentially more economical as well
I like to use the analogy it’s just like comparing an inkjet printer vs a laser printer. The inkjet is cheap but you will constantly be raped by ink prices. The laser one is more expensive up front but much, much cheaper per page printed.
Of course not many people print stuff so they have no need for an expensive printer and just get the inkjet and use it a few times a year, but with a razer it’s different because nearly everyone out there shaves multiple times a week, both men and women, so it makes sense to invest in something you literally use all the time for decades.
Until the "replace drum" message comes up and it's cheaper to buy a new printer.
I just get a bag of disposable razors including the handles for like $12, one of them will last months if you clean it and don't let it rust.
Did I miss a memo where I should be tossing them after one use or something? How do people spend so much on shaving?
This is long before I started growing my beard out, too. Beards are alpha as hell.
They get more dull after each use, I have no idea how a disposable lasts you months. My facial hair comes in thick so my blades get ruined quick and since a blade costs me like 10 cents it doesnt matter to use a new one each time.
Dude idk how. I have a harry’s razor that’s been on the same cartridge for almost 2 months. Facial exfoliator first then it’s usually a smooth shave, even with a used razor.
I guess I don’t have a job where I have to be clean shaven all the time so maybe that helps? Still weird to be spending a shitload of money of razors of all things
Agreed. I like maggard razors.
Got a website where you can buy this?
To be honest I just bought mine at Walmart.
If you like a super close shave with minimal fuss for very little money, I can confirm that nothing beats a double-edged safety razor. A decent properly-weighted handle is maybe $30 tops and you can splurge on super high quality blades. There are several variety packs on Amazon you can use to get a feel for what brands and types of blades work best for you. When used correctly with fresh quality blades you will not get razor burn. In quantity the blades are so cheap you can use a new one ever few shaves and not even care.

Wife likes it because the cut hairs are less sharp when they start growing back and I like it because it's plenty close for me and I get zero razor burn ever. More expensive, but it's a solid product. Still cheaper in the long run than Gillette for sure.
Can confirm. 100 Shark blades for $7
I got a handle that was a blem from maggard razors for $10, and I order blades that are $15-20 for 100 on amazon.
Edwin jagger razor and feather blades for me. Taylor of old bond street sandalwood shaving cream and a badger brush. Gives a magnificent shave.
I use feather as well. People starting should get 3-4 brands to try out and pick the one that works best for them based on their hair/face.
Funny enough, the razor model is what that's called in economics. Gillette basically founded that as an economic model.
I bought a Merkur (German) double-sided safety razor a long time ago and it gives me a great shave every time, and now there's American companies making safety razors again. I'd recommend Battle Brothers (USA) or Feather (Japan). Throw that dull disposable gillette/dsc garbage in the trash where it belongs.
If you go for a shave brush, I suggest getting a synthetic brush unless you want to deal with the bad smell of a natural brush for a month until it's conditioned.
CornPop suggests a straight razor, just make sure you bang it against the curb first.
He's a bad dude
Then dunk it in the rain barrels
Dollar Tree. 10 razor's for a buck
Buy a double edge safety razor and shave soap. Itll save you thousands of dollars and give you a better shave.
Get a double edge razor and Cremo shaving cream.
You'll spend less in several years than what you used to spend on Mach3's/shaving gel in an entire month.
Look at their top 10 recipients of their donations. BLM, or any other protest movement is not even in the list.
So they can all donate, to themselves and the DNC. What a joke.
BLM is a black supremacist terrorist organization.
They are. Those cucks on Polygon just banned me for comparing BLM and Antifa to the KKK, they really didn't like that.
I’ve received notifications from several businesses about their support for BLM. Good to know those are companies I no longer support. Looking at you Target, Lowe’s, McDonald’s and others.
It’s going to be every business because those that don’t profess love for BLM will be shaken down. Jesse “King of Beers” Jackson has been doing this for decades with his PUSH Coalition.
Wendy's and taco bell give big bucks to Trump's campaign. Not sure if they also bend the knee to BLM though.
Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Wendy's franchisee gives $200K more to Trump reelection campaign

Wendies has some juicey ass nuggets and baconators lemme tell ya
Number 6 with frosty. The best in the biz.
So let’s do what they do to us and boycott these businesses. It’s the only way to get the CEOs attention. That, and writing letters of displeasure about their support of BLM then, we won’t support their business. Idk ... we need to take a proactive stance. Thanks for your reply!

I thought Loews was going bankrupt a while back.
Yup. Had a chance to go to McDonalds yesterday and didn't. Went to Jack instead.
I remember when business just wanted to sell their product. Now every business is telling me what to think, what they think... I don't give a fuck!
Ditto your sentiment and thanks for responding.
Dollar shave club was bought by the same company that owns Gillette 2016 (Unilever)
I hate shaving anyways and only for a surgery and a funeral have I shaved in the last 20 years.
I’m the same way - I rarely use a razor other than beard trimmers. I have a lot of women in my household though and they all need their pits and legs shaved. Not sure what we are gonna do now yet.
Dollar Tree. 10 razor's for a buck
Buy each a wet/dry rechargable razer and a tub of wax. You got choice a) easy to use electric or b)PAIN.
BTW Got my wife one of those razers and she uses it no problem.
Dude there is a million companies that make razors. Go online.
Yep you are correct. In my mind I was thinking Gillette bought DSC to end competition. No it was bought TO compete with Gillette. I mixed it all up.
Systemic racism. So where is this system? How is it racist? Does anyone have any evidence of actual racism? Of course not. Where is all this crime and injustice focused? Where is all this poverty and despair? Where are these black people being oppressed? Oh in Democrat controlled cities? Fascinating. So the people who are saying the system is racist live in cities run by Democrats who promise year after year to end racism? Dude you’re being lied to. Or you’re an idiot for believing them.
All whites are racist. Everything we do is racist.
We have to get rid of racists.
Understand?
Just wait until we're a minority!
Ya, I’ve got the same issue now. Who the hell do I use now for razors?
I took the suggestion above and went with Barbasol. Looks like they have stayed out of politics. Let me know if anyone sees otherwise.
What the fuck is systemic racism, even?! I’ve yet to get a good answer to that question. Their answer is always, “if I have to educate you, you’re too stupid to understand.”
I do believe the time for dialog has ended.
EDIT: Oh wait, I have an example of systemic racism: minority scholarships and affirmative action. Never mind.
This virtue signalling drives me INSANE.
If you're gonna donate money to BLM, go ahead and do it. But don't fucking TELL everyone. Just quietly donate.
Another sjw to drop, first Harry's, then Gillette, now Dollar, I'll try Barbasol until I hear otherwise. So disappointed, just stay out of politics and sell me your stuff!
Dollar Slave Cucks.
Just canceled my subscription
Another one bites the dust.... Fuck 'em. Next.
THIS is what we have to do. Hit em where it hurts... in their pockets! They can silence us on media but this is something we must do. Get woke, go broke.
What's the deal with shaving companies? This isn't the first time a shaving company outed themselves out as cucks.
When will companies learn to stay agnostic politically, stop virtue-signaling, and just run their damn businesses?
I just recently switched to using an old timey safety razor. Dude, it's awesome.
You have a lot of choices. Here's what I went with:
The blades are good for a long time.The shaving soap pucks are also an excellent value. The razor itself, the stand, and the shaving mug will most likely outlive me.
Just another option to consider.
I don't think "Harry's" is bad. But with all the company's that I've been associated with going the "SJW" shit, I wouldn't be surprised.
Grow a beard.
I only go to black owned barber shops and let them shave me because I'm woke😂🤣😂🤣 /s
Just don’t shave. Grow a beard
Just canceled my subscription, thanks.
I got that email today as well. Cancelled my DSC sub today with this message ‘I prefer not to have my dollars go to a mafia type organization or the DNC. I subscribed to get politics out of my products so now I will be looking elsewhere.’ Logged out and uninstalled app. Another user recommended Dorco brand Pace 6 Pro blades as an alternative.
When you buy products that donate to these organizations, you are also donating because they are using your money for donations. Target is my favorite store on the planet, I've spent thousands but no longer and believe me it really sucks.
I use soap and a straight razor
+1 for old school.
Reader, if the straights aren't your thing yet then take the plunge into safety razors. You'll wonder why you even paid so much to DSC.
Ditto on the double edge safety razor and blades. Get that with a nice shaving soap, a shaving soap bowl/mug, a badger brush, a quality after shave lotion, and you're set. You shave like a grown-ass man with this stuff and it'll feel like you're being pampered. Nice close shave, fragrant manly shaving soap..it doesn't get any better than that.
Thanks for letting me know about this, I didn’t know... cancelling today too
Buy a double edge safety razor and shave soap. Itll save you thousands of dollars and give you a better shave.
That's it. Fuck Dollar Shave Club.
Getting a straight razor. My father taught me how to use one when I was a teenager. Taking back the tradition.
What is BLM actually spending this money on? Do any of these woke corporations even ask?
Just did the same
Their razors are shit anyways. I canceled long ago because I would rather use a cheap bic than cut my face with their crap razors
Let's pretend for a minute Black Lives Matter isn't a fundraising scam for Democrats, what is the cover reason a thing like BLM would even need donations? Why would they legitimately need millions of dollars to have "real people", 'naturally", attend rallies? Where does he money factor into this at all?
If it was legitimate, you make a hashtag, people like it and agree, people hold protests, you convince people at protests to your message, you vote for changes. I fail to see where money should even factor into the equation what so ever.
There are so many companies that are virtue signaling to BLM, a group that only rears its head up before election years.
"Systemic Racism and Violence."
Know how many unarmed black men were killed by the police in the last year? 10.
TEN.
Also? Most of them may not have been armed, but were attempting to attack or disarm the officer, or committing another act of violence warranting such a response.
Nah, fuck these guys.
I just threw up in my mouth a little after reading that shit.
Boys, we are seeing a shift to Full-retard that we have never seen before.
JOIN THE SAFETY RAZOR MASTER RACE!
Just cancelled mine..
Merkur stainless steel safety razors are the way to go.
Anybody know if Harry's or Barbasol deserve my money? I've got about a month to go on my current razors and cream.
What about Harry’s razors? My husband got a subscription when Gillette had their cuck tantrum and really likes the shave. Have they converted to the BLM Fundamentalist Church?
You’re not wrong but I do think that seeing profits or stock or whatever dip after making public statements like that can help corporations rethink their signaling. Probably not, but who knows. I don’t expect to withhold my business forever. We’ll see.
Thanks for posting this, I switched to a different tab and cancelled my membership. Why does every CEO think that they need to virtue signal.
