RAZOR BLADES & HANDLES
FAQs
What's so special about your razor handles?
The main thing that makes our handles special is that they're the main supporter of our blades.
Beyond that, we've got plenty of choices in plenty of colors for you to choose from. Go with our classic Club Series Diamond Grip handle for solid grip and maximum color choices. Or go with our Body Shaver Handle if you shave your body, in dry or shower-y terrains.
Looking for something more heavy duty and luxe looking? The Heavy Metal Handle is for you. No matter which handle you choose, each of our beloved Club Series shaving heads will easily attach for easy mixing and matching.
What's the trimmer blade on the back of the 6 Blade razor for?
Our precision trimmer is a single edge razor blade on the back of the 6 Blade cartridge, used to trim and shape hard to reach places like under your nose or a precise beard line. It's the ideal blade for shaving places that might grow a rogue hair from time to time. Be sure to hold it at a 45° angle from your skin for best results.
Do Dollar Shave Club razor blades provide a comfortable shave?
We surely think so (in a totally cool and non-biased way). We have tested our blades against competitors, and have continued to improve our blades over more than a decade in business, all in the service of providing a comfortable shave. And with over a million happy customers, we like to think we're doing something right.
To maximize your ultimate shave comfort, we suggest pairing our high quality shaving blades with Shave Gel, Shave Butter, or our Shave Cream.
What is the difference between the Club Series 6 blade and Club Series 4 blade?
What are you blades made of?
Our razor blades are made of high grade stainless steel blades sourced from Sweden. Most Dollar Shave Club razor blades are manufactured in our state of the art razor factory that we built all by ourselves (and we're dang proud of that).
What are the lube strips on your razor blades made of?
The Dollar Shave Club lube strip is infused with Vitamin E for comfort and glide
Which razor blade is best for longer hair?
We recommend our 4 Blade razor, which features four precision cut stainless steel blades designed for longer, thicker hair. The blades are also spaced further apart, which allows hair to easily pass through.
Which razor blade is best for hard to reach places?
If you're trying to get those nooks and crannies, we recommend our 6 Blade razor. It features a built in precision trimmer blade on the back, which is perfect for getting tough spots like under your nose.
Which razor blade is best for acne-prone skin?
Shaving with acne? Have no fear. We recommend our Acne Friendly Razor Blade, which features a SlipTech Guard Bar, hyaluronic-acid infused lubricated strip, and 4 easy-rinsing steel blades on a pivoting head.
Which razor handle would you suggest for body shaving?
We recommend our Club Series Body Shaver Handle, which features a design specifically for body shaving and shaving in the shower (because we hate shower razor handle slips as much as the next guy).
Which is the most premium Dollar Shave Club razor handle?
Want to upgrade your bathroom just by making your razor look more handsome? Our most premium handle is the Heavy Metal Handle, which is a sleek, luxurious handle that is almost twice the weight of traditional handles, and crafted for the ultimate controlled shaving experience.
Do all Club Series refills fit all Club Series handles?
Yes, all Club Series blade refills fit all Club Series handles.
How often should I replace my razor blades?
It all depends on your hair type and how often you're shaving. Our rule of thumb is to change your blade once a week if you're a daily shaver. Hot tip: A regular blade subscription with Dollar Shave Club will make it so that you can change your blade right on time, on the cadence that works for you.
Where can I purchase the Dollar Shave Club Humble Twin Handle?
The Humble Twin handle is exclusively available online at dollarshaveclub.com.

No kit is complete without these essentials:
- Razor blades (bonus if you have 4 and 6-blade options)

For the ultimate setup, you also need:

What are the best grooming products for beards?
If you have a thick, luscious beard that's the envy of every man in the state, oils can moisturize and soften it, while balms are great for shaping and hydrating.
Other essentials include beard shampoos, conditioners for healthy maintenance, and a bristle brush for styling and looking uncompromisingly badass.

Do you have a "how to" on personal grooming for men?
We're not in the habit of telling a man how to groom in the sanctity of his bathroom, but there are a few tips that can make life easier — especially if you're new to the shaving game:
Prep, prep, prep!
Wash your face and dab warm water to open the pores before applying shave cream. Put on some music. Take your time. The best shave is never hurried. That's especially true for a below-the-belt shave.
The grain is your friend
Never go against the grain! A superior blade will get you a close, comfortable shave with the grain, avoiding skin irritation. Be kind to your face. It's a marathon, not a race.
Find the right gear
Make sure your shave kit has quality grooming products designed by shaving men. You don't need to break the bank. Our advice? Join the Club.
How do you achieve the best shave?
We'll boil it down to three things:
- Quality shaving products from Dollar Shave Club
- Proper technique
- Proper skincare
What to buy for shaving men?
If you know a shaving man, odds are they need an upgrade.
Plenty of people use the same old blades because they're too lazy or stubborn to change — or both.
