It's a safety razor? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_razor

I was thinking the same - no real information on the site, but I did notice that the guy flipped the razor when performing a second pass? Probably just the video showing it is double sided just like a safety razor.

I thought there were rules against spam? This is a pretty version of the safety razor.

Yes, they work well. Yes, they cause fewer ingrown hairs. No, they don't last as long as multi-blades. No, they don't work on as scruffy a beard. No, this isn't the only place that sells them you can get any number of these at Walgreen's.

Who is this "we" that the website and the video reference? It might be nice if they more precisely defined their target customer.

I got into safety razor shaving in high school. It feels pretty nice, looks classy, and is a lot cheaper than Mach5 or whatever they are selling now. Now I just use an electric shaver because it's so much faster.

My assumption is their target market is the African American community. It looks like a razor specifically designed for the face of an African American man.

$60 for a starter kit for the safety razor, brush and some cosmetics. $30/month thereafter for... I dunno. More cosmetics and some spare blades, I guess.

$60 for the starter kit doesn't sound insane, to be fair...

For what it's worth, I got a perfectly good safety razor and some blades shipped from Hong Kong via eBay for $10-$12. Works like a charm.
