I did not review Gillette’s shave club at the time because it barely discounted any of their products. Fusion and Mach 3 blades were almost the same price as retail.
Then there were a ton of complaints about Gillette’s service. This came from the linked Observer article. I also found a couple posts with cancellation issues on reddit—I can’t seem to find those right now.
I also can’t figure out how to cancel my subscription. I have cancelled so many shipments that my next one is scheduled for August of next year, but there’s nothing on here that says anything about turning it off.
I gave up and emailed them to cancel. That worked.
Maybe I should give them a try and incorporate into this review? It appears Gillette Shave Club has been rebranded to Gillette On Demand.
It does look like they have learned from their mistakes. Their FAQ shows that you can cancel your Gillette subscription from the My Profile page—no need to call or send an email.
From the website it is difficult to tell the price per blade. Mach 3 refills cost $10 and it looks like each box comes with 4 blades. Every 4th box is free. That’s like $1.87 per blade which is much better than before, but I think the better option here is still to purchase blades from Amazon.
