What's not appealing about no longer having to think about purchasing any of these things? When you're low, new items appear magically on your doorstep. Frank

  I've just never had a moment where I felt it was a particular hassle to buy razor blades. You're at the grocery store anyway, you buy a box of blades, zero thought required. If you're worried about running out, buy three. Or if you're picky about your shave, order in bulk online and you're set for years with blades that are better quality for less money than the ones DSC sells you. If the pitch were that DSC blades were dramatically better than the ones I'm buying now, that might be interesting -- it'd save me the time of looking for a better blade. But even DSC doesn't claim their blades are better, except for silly marketing copy like "this blade comes from the future and lives in outer space," which is more about setting an irreverent tone than about actually arguing with a straight face that they're better than the competition.

    The appeal is price. Gillette blades are dramatically overpriced, even in bulk, which is what created the opportunity. Of course, DSC is overpriced compared to Dorco, for exactly the same product.

    You have never gone to shave and felt the pull and tug of an old razor? Then you go to work only to forget that you need to buy new ones on the way home and the process goes on again. This process happens to me because I am usually focused on buying food and not non-perishable goods. I switched to DSC recently because of this and I am tired of paying Gillette/Schick $20-$30 on a pack of razors.
