A club sends you four plastic cartridges a month whether your face needed them or not. This is the other option: one heavy piece of steel, a blade that costs twelve cents, and nothing to cancel later.

What lands on your doorstep

  • The Mk.1 handle and head, machined stainless steel
  • 10 blades to start (about ten weeks of shaving)
  • Switcher bonus: a 100-blade tin, free ($12 value)
  • The one-page guide to not cutting yourself on day one

The part they'd rather you didn't add up

What has the club already cost you?

Move the sliders. This is the same arithmetic you do in your head at 6am, only written down.

Club, same period$648
HEFT, same period$78

That is $570 of plastic. The handle costs $59 and the blades cost twelve cents.

HEFT figure assumes the $59 handle plus one blade a week at 12¢. Illustrative demo numbers, like everything else on this page.

Us vs. the box

The same shave, priced two ways

We are not going to pretend you don't know who we mean.

Club figures are the going rate for a four-cartridge monthly plan at $18/month. Your club may cost more, which is not the argument you want to be making.

Three reasons people leave

Nobody quits over the shave

They quit over the drawer, the bill, and the feeling of being enrolled in something.

You already own more blades than face

The club ships on its calendar, not on your beard. Skip a month, travel for two weeks, grow a beard in November, and the box keeps coming. Every drawer like this one is a receipt for a decision nobody actively made. HEFT ships once. The next thing you buy from us costs twelve dollars and lasts about two years.

Five blades were never for you

Stacking blades was a patent strategy before it was a shaving strategy. More edges means more drag, more irritation, and more of your money per pass. One sharp single edge, held at a fixed angle by 96 grams of steel, does the same job and costs twelve cents. The blade is the cheap part. It always was.

It is the last one you buy

Machined stainless, no plastic hinges, nothing to wear out but the blade you're already replacing. If the handle ever fails, we replace it, which is a cheap promise for us to make and the whole reason we can make it. The Hundred-Year Handle is not a warranty. It is a business model.

The awkward part

You still have refills left

This is the real reason people stay subscribed to things they resent. Here is how to get out of it in about four minutes.

01

Cancel before you order

Do it first, while you're annoyed. The button is usually buried under Account, then Plan, then Manage, then a page asking if you'd like to pause instead. Pause is not cancel.

02

Use up the cartridges

Seriously. You paid for them. Keep the plastic handle in the travel bag and burn through the drawer while the Mk.1 becomes your daily. Nothing here expires.

03

Give it ten shaves

The first two feel different because you're used to dragging five blades at once. By shave three you stop thinking about it. If you're not there by shave ten, send it back inside 60 nights.

Cancelled after eleven years

Eleven years of a box I stopped reading the emails about. The math section made me actually look up what I'd paid. I'd rather not put the number in a public review.

Heavier than I expected, in a good way

You don't press it. You let it sit on your face and move it. Took maybe three shaves to unlearn twenty years of pressing.

Nicked myself twice in week one

Nobody tells you the angle matters, except they do, in the little card, which I did not read. Fine now. Four stars because I would have liked a bigger warning on the box.

The blade tin is comedy

A hundred blades arrived in something the size of a deck of cards. That's two years of shaving in a drawer that used to hold one month of plastic.

Bought one for my dad

He used a razor like this in the eighties and has told me about it roughly four hundred times. Now he has one again and I have to hear about it more.

Sensitive skin, fewer bumps

Single blade with no tug did more for my neck in two weeks than three years of buying whatever the club labelled "sensitive."

Start here

Three steps, then never again

01

Order the Mk.1

$59 once. Handle, head, ten blades, and the free switcher tin. No account to make.

02

Cancel the box

Do it the same day, before the next charge posts. Then finish the cartridges you already own.

03

Buy blades in 2028

The tin holds a hundred. That is about two years. We will not email you in the meantime.

The questions people email us

How is this different from a subscription razor club?

A club sells you a cheap handle and then bills you monthly for the plastic heads it fits. We sell you the handle, once, and the blades it takes are a commodity that costs about twelve cents from us or anyone else. You are buying an object instead of enrolling in a relationship.

Do I have to cancel my club before ordering?

No, and honestly most people don't. They order, use up the cartridges they already paid for, and cancel at the end of the month. If you'd rather do it in the other order, cancel first so the next charge doesn't post while you're deciding.

Is a single blade actually a better shave?

Better is doing a lot of work in that sentence. It's a closer shave with less drag, which most people with irritation prefer, and it takes about three shaves to learn. If you like a five-blade cartridge and don't mind the bill, you do not have a problem we can solve.

What if I hate it?

Sixty nights, send it back, keep the blades. We would rather eat the shipping than be one more thing you're paying for out of inertia.

Where do I buy blades?

From us, twelve dollars for a hundred, or from any pharmacy on earth. Double-edge blades are a standard, not a cartridge. That's the entire point.

One handle. Twelve cent blades. Nothing to cancel.

The club will keep shipping until you tell it not to. That is not a flaw in the club. That is the club.
