The Best Shave Club
On this page you will find a summary review of which is the best shave club. Of course, since we are a one of the competitors, we have a bias on this topic. However, rest assured, the facts and details in this article are correct. If they weren’t, we would quickly hear from our competitions’ lawyers. And rightfully so.
First, let’s look at the razors we are comparing.
As you can see from our Human Liberty Index, this information is something we think all consumers should know about their products.
The Wet Shaving Club - Retro Razor
Our razor handle is made in China. Our blades are made in South Korea.
Seem weird that we would highlight this? Do please read more about the Human Liberty Index to find out why we do.
But, more importantly, keep in mind we sell a razor that is made in Germany, and one that is Made In The USA!
Harry's Truman Razor
Harry's highlights the fact that their blades are made in Germany. They do not mention that their handle is made in China. Our source is at the bottom of this article.
We are not casting stones. We are simply pointing out what we found.
The DSC Humble Twin Razor
The DSC Humble Twin is made in South Korea. Our source is at the bottom of this article.
They used to be made by Dorco. We are unsure whether that is still the case.

Question #3 - Which Razor Is The Best Razor?
The truth is we cannot objectively answer this question. Both The DSC and Harry’s have hundreds of thousands if not millions of customers, and plenty of positive reviews on their products.
What we can say, is that we have used the DSC’s Humble Twin, and Harry’s Truman razors, and we have used numerous safety razors. Our conclusion? In almost every case, a safety razor gave us a superior shaving experience. In fact, we started the Wet Shaving Club because we enjoyed the safety razor experience much more than we did the cartridge razors we had used prior.

The Wet Shaving Club – You get your metal razor handle and one year of metal blades all at one time, in one box.
The Dollar Shave Club – You get a plastic handle with 5 plastic cartridges the first shipment, and 5 plastic cartridges per month every shipment after.
