P&G’s Gillette Sues Dollar Shave Club

I find the claims that P&amp;G makes to be interesting, because unless something has changed, Dollar Shave Club does not actually produce or manufacture under license any of its own products, rather the service is about the delivery and cost mechanism, not the actual product received. Instead, they use products made by Dorco, a South Korean company, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dorcousa.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dorcousa.com&#x2F;</a>.<p>The 4X, for instance is the same as the Dorco Pace 4 blade system, including compatibility between the cartridges&#x2F;handles. I think Dollar Shave Club may provide unique handles, but the razor blade cartridges themselves are made by Dorco.

It is extremely telling that Gillette is suing Dollar Shave Club, a direct competitor, rather than Dorco the actual manufacturer of the blades themselves.<p>DSC is actually just a blade reseller, so suing them for patent infringement seems odd. Until you consider that this whole lawsuit may be part of a larger drive to either push DSC out of business or buy them out of business, in either case the cost of the lawsuit will contribute.<p>PS - As an aside I don&#x27;t think Dorco&#x27;s blades are as good as Gillette&#x27;s blades yet. However I highly welcome a more competitive landscape in the cartridge blade market.

Tangentially related: I moved to old fashioned razor blades a few months ago and have actually hurt myself less since then.<p>Bonus: It cost like a fraction of the price and you don&#x27;t look like a teenager when shaving :-P

Classic &quot;butthurt giant is mad at new competition and sues them to death&quot; move.<p>Subscribing to DSC today, wanted to do that a long time ago anyway.

Anyone shed some light on whether there is any validity, or is it just Gillette trying to scare DSC and their customers?

I find it slightly amusing when journalists call companies like Dollar Shave Club an &quot;upstart&quot;. It paints this picture that they&#x27;re this small scrappy startup when in fact they&#x27;ve raised $163M, founded in 2011 and air prime time commercials. But as compared to P&amp;G&#x27;s market cap of $220B, I get it, they&#x27;re small potatoes.

I use two blades to shave - start with a &quot;quality&quot; blade (not Gillette) and finish with a cheaper disposable. It extends the life of both and gives me a very clean shave. I estimate that it&#x27;s cut my blade costs in half since ditching Gillette. Oh, and don&#x27;t forget the inexpensive Barbasol.

I hadn&#x27;t heard of DSC before and wish it was available in Europe. Would be interested to know how much of a streisand effect they are experiencing. And given the season that&#x27;s in it, a year&#x27;s subscription to this would make a handy gift.

All of this would be moot if people would just grow a beard and discover all the awesomeness that comes with it! Most of all you don&#x27;t have to shave anymore!

But I thought DSC didn&#x27;t make the razors? I buy them direct from Korea under the Pace brand name.

This is all crazy considering how well a double-edged safety razor works. Cheap and efficient.

Does anyone know where the complaint is or at least the specific patents? I guess they are claiming infringement against a method to coat the blades somehow to improve shaving?<p>Why do I have a feeling this will be another one of those cases that expose just how corrupt and broken our patent system is.

Shave? I thought this was hacker news, not brogrammer news. So much for neckbeards.
