Necro time.

I've been using my supply of Jeremy's razors for the past year and I'm almost out (I tend to buy in bulk during sales), but for reasons that don't belong in non-political areas I'm no longer comfortable with giving them money.

In the past I've used both Harry's and Dollar Shave Club. Both of those sort of sucked, and I won't be giving Harry's any money ever again either. Another was Dorco maybe? Wasn't bad but not even sure if they exist anymore.

Anyone know of a shave club/subscription that has actual decent products, and has no agenda? I've looked a bit, but other than the ones above it comes back to the Gillette/Schick/big name choice, which are usually ridiculously expensive or ridiculously terrible if you buy their cheap version.

Before people suggest it, I tried the safety razor thing and while it isn't terrible, I wasn't really a fan of it either because I also shave my entire head at the same time, and the knicks/burns were a lot more prevalent. Skill issue, I know, but still. I'm fine with spending a few bucks a month for something easy and convenient, I'd just prefer it not to go to fund people I don't agree with. Which is almost everyone except FoH, so when are we making our own shave club???

I've mostly gone to an actual safety razor. I use regular over the shelf shaving foam though. The soaps and stuff are just a pain in the ass and don't seem to give as nice of a shave.

This is what I like to use.

Could try this but again it's a safety style razor.

I use a nice beard trimmer to get it short. Then another electric to mostly shave and finish with a safety razor.

I did some more googling and found a bunch of "patriotic" offerings, but even those were made in China and didn't have the greatest reviews. Ended up just looking for blades made in the USA, and found a few, and after searching for their products I found this one that I ordered and am going to give it a try. Pretty cheap, decent reviews, and made in USA. I'll let you guys know how they feel after I've used them a few times.

I have one of those lawnmower trimmers and it's okay. I use it for my beard and to shave down the rest then finish it off with a safety razor as well. Works great.
