Who is this "we" that the website and the video reference? It might be nice if they more precisely defined their target customer.<p>I got into safety razor shaving in high school. It feels pretty nice, looks classy, and is a lot cheaper than Mach5 or whatever they are selling now. Now I just use an electric shaver because it's so much faster.
$60 for a starter kit for the safety razor, brush and some cosmetics. $30/month thereafter for... I dunno. More cosmetics and some spare blades, I guess.<p>$60 for the starter kit doesn't sound insane, to be fair...<p>For what it's worth, I got a perfectly good safety razor and some blades shipped from Hong Kong via eBay for $10-$12. Works like a charm.
I thought there were rules against spam? This is a pretty version of the safety razor.<p>Yes, they work well.
Yes, they cause fewer ingrown hairs.
No, they don't last as long as multi-blades.
No, they don't work on as scruffy a beard.
No, this isn't the only place that sells them you can get any number of these at Walgreen's.
$60 for a high quality kit seems good. $30/monthly? I don't know if I shave enough to justify that personally. I just remember having like 5 unopened cases of Proactiv back in the day... as the postman delivered the next shipment lol.<p>Btw, Tristan Walker (guy behind this venture) was one of Foursquare's 1st employees. Nice guy and smart as hell. The launch campaign he's rolling out seems to be well executed. Wish them the best...
nothing new here. i've been applying shaving soap with a badger hair brush and using a safety razor for years.<p>i guess startups are at the point where reintroducing "old" technology is the new thing? this market is FLOODED with competition, good luck.
