Just a quick note, Dollar shave club buys their razors and blades from http://www.dorcousa.com/

You can skip the "middle man" and maybe save a few dollars.

GD'it!!! I placed my order shortly after I posed the question. Should have known RFD'rs would come through. Oh well.

That video brought back memories of this http://www.philips.ca/c/body-groomers/294285/cat/en/

RFD not only provides savings, but much laugh .

It looks like the 5-Blade supplied by CrazyRazor.ca is the exact same as the "store-brand" 5-blade from Loblaw and Wal-Mart. I used them for about a year. The trimmer blade is terrible. I kept on cutting the bottom of my nose. essentially, it's a straight-blade that sticks out. The shave isn't that bad, but the Dorco shave is much better, and the trimmer blade is much better for your face.

I use to use the old-style safety-Razor shown earlier in the thread, but the Dorco shaves closer, but isn't a cheap. I would change my safety razor every 4-shaves (2-per side), and bought feather blades in bulk to save money. The Dorco Shave (Dollar Shave club) or dorcousa.com is the closest to a Gillette Fusion that I have ever seen, and much, much cheaper.

just put in an order at dorcousa for 40.xx, for those who have ordered were you charged duty?

hope the quality is ok...tried some knockoff fusion blades from eBay and wasn't impressed...

Use 10REVISIT for 10% off

This is better to use for your order than the FALL2012. Since the 10REVISIT is applied to the whole order. Whereas, the FALL2012 code is only applied to the combo systems.

I ordered:
two 3 system combo packs = two handles + 20 cartridges
three 6packs of 3blade system cartridge refills = 72 cartridges

Total= $44.98 USD shipped to my door.
This is an amazing deal.
Though, I've never used these razors before so hopefully they are just as good as the reviews are.

On another note...
I usually use DE razors, but they take too long to shave. I need to make at least three passes with the DE system to get my proper shave + I have to whip up my own shaving cream with my badger brush. And in the morning I value sleep over anything, so having only a DE system is not ideal. So I find that I use actual razors (Gillette/Schick) in the morning and the DE system when I have more time or if I need a relaxing shave.

Don't get me wrong, the DE system is wonderful. But, it takes a little bit more time. So if you have the time I wouldn't stray from it. But, for me, having both is ideal.

Thanks again for everyone's help!!!

PS. I buy my DE blades from here;

cheapest guy I have found. I've ordered from him since the beginning of my DE experience a couple years ago. Also, this site is great for DE/strait edged newbies!

Their shipping costs are fine... Spend $40 and you receive free shipping. I ordered a year's supply of razors for that much. Came through the mail to my door in less than two weeks.

were you charged duty?

For those of you asking, you can get DE razors from Fendrihan.com and they're in Canada. The Edwin Jagger DE89 is a really nice razor. I buy my blades from ebay and the Astra SP are really nice, smooth, comfortable blades, you get 100 for 11.00 shipped. They come from Turkey so it takes a couple weeks but is worth it and I'm a hoarder of blades since they're so cheap so I have enough for about 10 years now. I would not start with Feather blades like Sneek uses.

The shave from a DE is so much better than cartridges and you save so much money. Generally I use a blade for one week before replacing it so it costs me about 5-6.00 per year and I get a better shave. At first you'll be timid but with practice you'll get better and now I do a 3 pass shave and it takes me all of 10 minutes tops where it used to take me 20-25 minutes.

I tried Dorco, Derby and Personna. The Derby were by far my favourite, as they last a couple weeks and don't cut me, and the Dorco by far the worst, as they cut me and wear out after like two shaves. I'm going to give the Astra a shot, thanks

thanks for all the input over the last little bit. I'll try to keep the original post updated as much as possible with deals/coupons for common sites. Just know that I won't catch all of the updates ... I am human after all.

I made an order with dorco using the 10% off coupon I posted. But before I did I had left some items in my cart and got sent this email

"Enter coupon code FKXX8PS8ZU during checkout to receive 5.00% off each item you purchase!"

Might only work for my order but feel free to give it a try.
