This is partly why I didn't "get" Dollar Shave Club. I buy a pack of 52 disposable razors from Costco, really decent ones: http://www2.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11093041&#... and it's $30 for basically one razor per week for a year. I don't really see any room to improve on this.

They don't look really decent. They look like crap. I've tried those type of razors and they're horrible, can't even do one shave if I've left it a week.

If you're an intermittent shaver like me or someone with thick hair I bet they suck.

So use one a week and chuck it, wasteful, but still cheaper then dollar shave's similar model.

edit I thought you meant "leave the razor a week" but I think you mean leave your beard a week on second reading.

But this is your opinion. I love the one he linked to and did not know about that they are so cheap at Costco.

What he and you prove as a point is that to him Costco deal is perfect while your "thick hair" it too thick to save money with Costco. So the Dollar Shave Club will be perfect for you (to save money) and useless to him. Therefore, the DSC will never scale well enough because people like me or OP will never have a thick hair :)
