Opinion
You don’t want a shave subscription. Do you? You don’t need a shave subscription. Right?
But you have a shave subscription. Why?
Did you think you were going to save money with that shave club? Are you saving money? Or did you think that new 5 or 6 bladed razor was really going to give you a great shave. Did it?
Unless we have it wrong, we believe you just want a quality shave at a great price. Guess what, The Wet Shaving Club offers that, without a subscription, and without monthly fees. We will get to that later. First, back to why we think you don’t want as have subscription.
Let Us Ask A Few Questions
1. Which is cheaper. Shipping one time? Or shipping 4, 6, or 12 times a year?
2. Who wins in the subscription game?
3. Why are you subscribing to begin with?
You Don’t Want A Shave Subscription Because Shipping Costs Money
We offer free shipping. So do many of the Shave Subscription Companies.
Do you believe the shipping is really free? Of course you don’t. We are in business to make money. Therefore when we offer free shipping, we make sure that the products we offer are marked up enough to leave some profit for us after we ship your product.
That should not be a surprise. But here is the difference between The Wet Shaving Club and other shave clubs or shave subscription services.
You Get One Year Of Shaving From Us All In One Shipment!
That means you only pay for shipping one time. If you buy one of our One Year Safety Razor Packages. It costs us anywhere from $4.00 to $13.50 to ship an order. Even if it costs our competitors only $1 to ship you their products, you would be paying $12 ($1 X 12 months) in shipping for one year of shaving.
Which might be one reason why we are able to give you one Year of shaving for approximately half the price of what companies like The Dollar Shave Club are charging.

They are passing on that shipping expense to you like we are, but they have to do it every time they replenish your cartridges.
So why are most razor companies selling us on the subscription model? We have a theory. Read it below.
Who Wins The Subscription Box Game?
Reoccurring Revenue + Up-sell Opportunities = More Profit
When the Dollar Shave Club gets to ship you something on a monthly basis, that means they get to advertise to you on a monthly basis. It also means that their brand is “front of mind” because you see their package every month. In a sense, this makes them smarter than us. In fact, we are not knocking this strategy or the logic behind it. We are simply explaining why we believe the other shave clubs prefer the subscription model vs the one time shipment model that we use.
So why did we choose to ship everything in one box? Because, we believe our model will be better for you, and therefore better for us. After all, if we help you find a better and more cost effective way to shave, then you will trust us when we tell you we have found a superior alternative to shave butter and shave cream ( Article: Difference Between Shave Soap, Shave Butter, and Shave Cream).
Let me elaborate on that last point a little further. If you buy our $24 Safety Razor Shave Deal, you will have spent $24 with us. You get to shave for one year for that $24.
One Year Supply? CLICK HERE
There is no reason for you to come back to us. Sure, you might buy some of our wet shave accessories, but in general, we bill you once, and a year later you might buy some razor blades from us. But you don’t have to, because our blades are not proprietary. You can buy safety razor blades anywhere.
Let us compare that to all the other Shave Clubs out there.
You are locked in. You have their razor handle, and that handle requires their proprietary blades.
Yep, you not only get charged at certain intervals, but you have to buy the cartridge refills from them. Why do you think the cartridge razor was invented in the first place? See this article to learn more (Article: History of The Razor)
Then, they have the opportunity to send you deals on other products monthly both via email and via their mailed goods. Again, brilliant on their part.
But do you really need that subscription? Do you want to pay more and pay more frequently?
Why Did You Sign Up For A Shave Subscription To Begin With?
Another question for you. Why did you sign up for that subscription shave service to begin with?
Is it because you wanted to save money?
If so, we understand. Many of the Shave Clubs out there have good deals. Especially if you are OK with shaving with a cartridge razor. However, we think you should switch to The Wet Shaving Club. For two reasons.
First, in our opinion, shaving with a safety razor is superior to shaving with a cartridge razor.
Here is more on that. Article: Safety Razor vs. Cartridge Razor
Second, we believe you will find that our one year safety razor packages give you a better deal!
See This Article As An Example.
Article: Which Shave Club Is The Best Shave Club
Did you join a shave subscription club because you were to lazy to go to the store?
First, you are pretty lazy. Second, we won’t judge you for being lazy. We will incentivize your laziness.
Why is The Wet Shaving Club Better for lazy people?
1. You only have to go to to mail box one time for our package.
2. You only have to unwrap one package from The Wet Shaving Club
3. You don’t have to log on to pause a subscription.
