Straight Razor Shaving is Good for Your Skin After all, you are pulling your hair up and gliding a sharp blade against your skin. Yet, straight razors are less irritating and are better for your skin than cartridge razors because they only use a single blade and take fewer passes for a cleaner, smoother shave.

Englewood Cliffs – Unilever has today announced the sale of Dollar Shave Club to Nexus Capital Management LP, a US-based private equity firm. In addition to its razors, Dollar Shave Club also offers a range of male grooming products including its recent expansion into electric trimmers.

With a Razor, the hair is cut with a single stroke of the blade. While with an Electric Shaver, the hair is cut between two blades like the motion of scissors. Traditionally a razor requires a wet shaving technique while the electric shaver usually requires a dry shaving technique.

Each month, you will receive five replacement cartridges at the advertised cost of just one dollar per month, hence the name Dollar Shave Club. However, the true cost comes in at three dollars per month as you are on the hook for a two-dollar shipping and handling charge.
