After a few years hiatus from wet shaving I recently decided to come back as I was not getting good performance from the electric. I tend to over research anything and had quickly amazed cart of well researched shaving products that was kinda pricey. Rather than pulling the trigger on that, I decided that Wet Shave Club might be a better way to go. I could get a cheap starter set to upgrade as time and money allowed and would get to sample a variety of products and decide what worked best for me.
First box was a disappointment. It had nothing like the quality and quantity shown in pictures on their site. The razor and boar brush were what I expected but the products were somewhat lacking:
* a one ounce sample of Dominello Vitali shave cream, not nearly enough for a month of shaving
* two ounces of aftershave from Green Bean Soap Company (I really like this product)
* 10 Crown blades
One month later, out of shaving cream, I was waiting with baited breath for the second shipment, assuming the first had been meager only because of the razor/brush. 10 days later I still had not received an email announcing my second shipment. At this point I canceled.
The cancellation acknowledgement asked for information on why I canceled and it seems sincere. I wrote a long email about not getting a month of product, not getting a second box, suggestions that they offer a preview and opt out as most box of the month clubs do. I also gave them a breakdown of what was supposed to be in the second box according to their Facebook page. I had looked up each product and it amounted to a total of $13 worth of shaving product and $9 worth of non-shaving product that would have never been used.
When they responded they only responded to the last item and explained that some of their customers love getting the non-shaving products. So I guess if you are looking for a general grooming of the month club that includes some saving products, this may be a good deal for you. If you are looking to build up a library of different products to start you along until you decide what you really like, this is not the way to go.
