I've never understood the appeal of the dollar shave club. Razors are very cheap when bought in bulk, and they take up very little space to store, even an entire year's supply. Wouldn't it make more sense and save money to ship a year's supply at a time?

For example, here are 64 razors for $16: http://amazon.com/dp/B00XKVH4O6. The comparable dollar shave two-blade option would cost you $48, since it's $1/mo for blades and $2/mo for shipping.

On the high end six-blade model, here's 24-cartridges for $30.49: http://www.dorcousa.com/pace-6-cartridges-6-pack-sxa1040/ The same thing from dollar shave would cost $54.
