I used to hate shaving. Dreaded it. Had to do it. Never failed to finish without blood running down my neck.
Unless introduced to wet shaving early in life, I guarantee each man knows what I’m talking about. Spray foams contain alcohol and dry the skin. Blades then chafe and cut. Splash on some aftershave that feels like bathing in fire. Walk around with tiny pieces of tissue glued to blood spots. Process sound familiar?
Wet Shave Club replaces torture with pleasure. This online subscription service sends a box of wet shaving goodies to your doorstep each month with shaving soaps, double edge razor blades and other shaving goods. New members receive a free, three-piece safety razor and boar shave brush with their first shaving box delivery – both of which easily can retail over $70.
So, what’s the difference? Masculine soaps smell good and create a warm lather that’s kind to the skin. The brush feels like a massage rather than slapping yourself repeatedly. Blades glide cleanly, for a close and refreshing shave. Artisan aftershaves soothe instead of scorch.
That’s not sales pitch. I still remember my first Geo. F. Trumpers wet shave package I received as a gift that transformed my shaving experience. The transition from gnarly blades and aerosol gels to soap & brush is one of the best moves a man can make.
Artisan soaps used to be pricey items. Good blades still break the bank. A $25 monthly membership with the Wet Shave Club makes fine shaving products a bargain. Over 20,000 members agree that it’s a small price to pay for an enjoyable shave.
Wet Shave Club isn’t the first to offer a shaving subscription service, but its focus on wet shaving sets it apart. Other benefits include free shipping in the states (international shipping is available) and replacement razors or brushes for members should something happen.
According to the website, “each month Wet Shave Club will send you on average 2-3oz of soap in 1-4 different scents from a different soap maker each month along with 10 double edge blades from up to 2 brands plus mystery extras.”
The monthly package turns a pre-work arduous task into an affordable, relaxing and exciting ritual – new things to look forward to each month and a sharp looking shave.
There’s nothing strapping about razor burn. For the uninitiated, wet shaving is much more about smart grooming than it is pampering. And if it’s pampering, too, who cares? The end result leaves you feeling more manly.
Wipe off the mirror at wetshaveclub.com to learn more about the perfect shave and to sign up for a membership in under a minute. Add your order before the 10th of the month and you’re… you thought I was going to write “just in the nick of time,” didn’t you, but there’s no nicking here (geddit?). No, you’re in line to have your box shipped on the 15th. Savor the shave.
