I didn’t want to like this commercial. I really didn’t. It’s pretty much just a knockoff of the Old Spice commercials (and a less creative one at that, because there are cuts between each nonsensical segment), and yet, there I was, giggling at everything: the cuss words, the machete, the bear throwing money around, etc. I don’t know if it says more about the commercial or less about me, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Nice work, Dollar Shave Club. I won’t be using your service because I grow facial hair like a 12-year-old and I don’t have a job that requires me to shave more often than “when somebody says my face looks gross,” but still, well done.
If I had any bone to pick with this commercial, besides its derivative nature, it would be the final shot. Sure it’s got a bear with a brick of money making it rain, a spokesman with a leaf blower, an awkward warehouse employee, and a giant American flag, but I can’t help but feel like it’s missing something. You guessed it: Blue Shirt Guy. Never forget.

Dollar Shave Club? I think I saw a porno once with the same name.
Signed up last night. It really doesn’t take much to lure me in advertisers- just be funny.
It’s not a rip-off of the Old Spice ad, DG. It’s a spoof of it.
totally agree. this commercial didn’t even have a roided up black dude talking to his biceps. pssshaw!
The only thing “grows” about you is your proofreading skills, DG.

EVERYBODY STOP YELLING AT ME.
Interesting concept, new razors every month. Maybe if I signed up I could finally stop using this Bic I bought in 1997.
I would find this pretty funny except for the fact that I am a strict beard enthusiast and hate anything that could endanger my beautiful flavor savor.
Quick tip: keep your razor blade in a cup of rubbing alcohol. It removes water and other types of build-up off the blade and keeps the blades sharper longer. Plus, it sterilizes the blade.
Trust me it works.
Should I unplug it first?
My dad never taught me how to shave (or love), so I rely on people on the internet to give me tips. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and try this because the guy who told me to shave with the grain the first time going over a spot didn’t steer me wrong.
Another tip: if you’re using a not-brand new razor, wipe the blade (using a backwards-shaving motion) on your forearm ten or so times before shaving. It removes any built-up schmutz that clings to the blade and has a slight honing effect, like a leather strap, on the blades. I can use a Mach-3 about once a week for most of a year this way.
I feel like Boston just tricked a few dozen people into suicide.
Anyone who listens to what I say deserves what they get.
I just use a rock covered in barnacles.
My very sparse and thin facial hair usually allows me to use the same mach-3 blade for about 2 months, mostly because I fucking hate how ungodly expensive a decent razor blade costs. I can’t believe it took this long for someone to come up with a great way to stick it to the razor companies.
I bought an 8 pack of Gilette Fusion blades for 20 bucks on ebay (39 bucks at any pharmacy) last summer. I’ve only used 2 in the 8-9 months since. Oh, and I’m clean shaven.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. And for me it’s ebay.
Gotta admire a good polio joke.
…we’re on the edge—the razor’s edge—and I feel like dancing.
