I thought there were rules against spam? This is a pretty version of the safety razor.

Yes, they work well. Yes, they cause fewer ingrown hairs. No, they don't last as long as multi-blades. No, they don't work on as scruffy a beard. No, this isn't the only place that sells them you can get any number of these at Walgreen's.

I thought this might be interesting and relevant to HN as the first product of a new startup with the goal of expanding into a full fledged CPG company out of SV.

I also thought the launch, marketing and focus on men and women of color were interesting. Maybe I should have posted this link instead which provides some extra context

I really like safety razors for scruffy beards. The only more effective alternative would be a straight razor.

> you can get any number of these at Walgreen's.

FWIW, Not sure this is actually true. I'm pretty sure no mass market retailer sells safety razors anymore in store. It's been that way for many years. In fact, the last time I checked, none of my local walgreens, CVS, or walmarts, even sell DE blades in store. That could change if this becomes popular again.

All out of stock, all not sold in stores. He's right.

It's not even that pretty Have a look at the Merkur "Futur" DE razor in satin or better yet, gold finish. There are tons of nice looking razors around, including some from the early part of the 20th century. You never know, maybe their products or marketing will work.
