Santa is famous for sporting a dense beard, among other charitable things, and while the average person has probably never considered the sterile (or otherwise) qualities of his whiskers, we here at Dollar Shave Club are weird like that. Of course, most of us have seen the...
There you are, sitting in a metal tube flying high above the Earth at 34,000 feet, and only one hour to go before the captain announces it’s time to put your tray tables and seat backs in their fully upright and locked positions, and prepare for landing....
Here at Dollar Shave Club, we believe in taking care of yourself, and sometimes that means gnawing on a wedge of beef jerky while soaking in a steamy bath. I suppose this is a good time to also mention that we sell Bath Jerky, which is fashioned...
Anyone who owns a shower curtain knows one thing for sure: It’s going to engulf them as soon as they turn the water on. This strange phenomenon is called the shower-curtain effect, and while there’s no conclusive explanation for why running water causes shower curtains to billow...
Taking the time to shower and put on deodorant or antiperspirant before sweating on an elliptical and then sweating even more on a workout bench that was already saturated with foreign sweat might seem like an absurd and pointless endeavor. But before heading straight to the gym...
Every now and again, you’ll encounter someone — a colleague, a friend of a friend, a stranger on the bus — who seems somehow oblivious to the fact that holy cow, they stink. It may be overpowering B.O., wafts of cheesy feet stench or just plain old...
When you share a bathroom with a partner, it’s inevitable that you’re going to end up sharing more than just toothpaste. Our bodies are constantly crawling with bacteria — some good, some bad — and the bathroom, a room dedicated as it is to both dampness and...
I once believed that vigorously brushing my teeth for long periods of time kept them extra-clean: I was wrong, and my dentist was furious. Overly-thorough brushing, it turns out, isn’t only unnecessary — gentle scrubbing for two or three minutes at a time is more than enough...
I just made a considerable life change: I swapped my dribbling shower head for a competent, detachable one, and my showering experience has transcended to a whole new level of paradise. It was cheap and easy, too: I spent less than $25 and screwed the new shower...
Having a behemoth beard is cool until you realize just how much debris it collects: According to a recent-ish report, beards amass more germs than dog fur, which is astonishing when you consider their penchant for rolling around in all kinds of gunk. This bacteria comes from...
We’re guessing you don’t take too many baths, but that’s cool — most Americans don’t. Maybe it’s the thought of wading in one’s own lukewarm filth for half an hour that’s a turnoff. Or for the earth-minded, filling up the average tub with 50 gallons of water...
Returning to the gym locker room can be even more intimidating than returning to the actual gym after spending nine months making excuses (my arm muscle was busted, I swear). For good reason, too: There are a bunch of new faces, with the same idea as you,...
