It sold for $1 billion dollars. Youtube says their channel has 35,002,980 views, so that would make about $28.57 per view the selling price.
- MichaelGG 10y ago$330 per user? Is that a good price for customers buying cheap razors? I'm a guy. I shave a bit. I've been, and continue to be, totally astounded how DSC is a business, let alone a successful one. No matter your preference for DE vs these fancy multi-blade rigs, just uh, go to Amazon and buy? "Subscribe and Save" if you have an issue buying more when you run low? What's the attraction?

- anonu 10y agoI never saw the appeal either! I've always battled against any sort of subscription service or regularly-purchased items that I deem too high price. Gillette razors, though very well built, were always too expensive ($2+ per razor) for what they are. I then moved to safety razors which I found did a great job. I could get these for as cheap as $0.05 each (though you probably want to pay a little more for quality). Shortly after DSC came out, someone found that they were sourcing their razors from a Korean manufacturer - and that you could just buy those products without the subscription for way less! Is the DSC premium really worth the convenience?
