Well, that's a nice ad, to be sure. I threw out my Gilette too, and briefly considered DSC, but then I found this page, which was extremely concerning: https://www.2ndvote.com/business-entity/dollar-shave-club/
TLDR: DSC's parent company (Unilever) very actively supports abortion, and same-sex marriage, while opposing religious freedom. I can't go for that.
At least for now, I ended up going with Schick, which at least looks neutral (https://www.2ndvote.com/business-entity/edgewell-personal-care/). I'm sure behind the scenes, they're probably as liberal as everyone else, but at least they aren't doing it openly.

Just a reminder: It's not really about Dollar Shave Club. That was a spec ad that as far as I know was not picked up by DSC. It's about the content of the production and a distinctively pro-masculinity response to Gillette's stupidity.
I'm still going through a bag of no-name disposable razors I bought years ago (tells you how often I shave) and don't really care where anyone buys their razors. I think rockfox had it right in the Gillette thread: grow a beard.
Strength. Mastery. Courage. Honor.
Today's pop quiz: Do you consider yourself a brave man? If so, why? If not, why not? Does your wife think of you as a man of courage and honor? Do your friends? Do you honor courage in others?
This is not to kick-off an anatomy measuring contest in this thread. Just a call for some private reflection and self-assessment.
Here's a practical application: Look for one thing today you can do to step up. Take a risk. Finish something you've been procrastinating on. Have a conversation you've been putting off. Overcome inertia and risk-aversion.
Here's another practical application: I've heard it said (and tend to agree) that "the Christian church is the only army in the world that shoots its own wounded". The institutional churches cultivate a feminized 'safe space' approach to life, and punish those who take risks and fail. What can we here as a group be doing to encourage each other to reach out to other men to form fellowships/brotherhoods based on the biblical and biological differences between men and women? (Personally I think we have to look outside the matrix (womb) of government churches to find other manly men, but you do whatever God tells you to do.)
That's why I posted the video—to recognize and promote courage among the men here. We're gonna need it.

I haven't gotten to the Gilette thread yet. Still working my way through thousands of back posts. 
Nice post!

I too have thousands of back posts I'm trying to catch up on
More and more I find myself intentionally bowing up at the establishment. I refuse to bend to the coktural idea of femenized manhood. And, if I may be so bold, the more acerbic I am regarding culture and feminism, the more ladies around are attracted to just be friends, talk and feel the heat. Essentially, I believe they recognize and long for manly men.. Who knew? LOL...
I feel ya. I just went through that, and you guys were both gone a lot longer than I was! It doesn't take long around here....
I think we're at a tipping point. More and more people are realizing that something is horribly wrong, and a good example of what men are supposed to be will go a lot farther than a big argument over what's wrong with the world.More and more I find myself intentionally bowing up at the establishment.
