There’s a subscription for almost everything today, but a shaving club is one of the most practical. With these, you will get high-quality blades for a smooth shave and never be without a new razor — and maybe even save money while at it. So whether you want the best value or add-ons like shave gel and exfoliating scrub delivered straight to your door, these are the best shave clubs to save you a last-minute trip to the store for yourself or an affordable gift.
We’ve tested a number of shave clubs and searched the internet for the best shave clubs to find the top picks this year to meet your needs.
Best shave club overall
We did not select a best shave club overall for this list because the best shave club for you will depend on multiple personal factors, such as what you shave, how often you shave and the type of hair you are shaving. In addition, you will want to consider the price of starter kits, refills and any additional products you plan to purchase (such as shave creams and aftershaves) to enhance your shaving experience.

As your typical (and often reluctant) woman shaver, I do not like the typical woman razors and shaving products. I find them often “pink taxed,” i.e. more expensive than products marketed toward men, just because they have an aesthetic some women may prefer. To add insult to injury, the drugstore razors for woemen I’ve bought — especially the reusable ones — tend to be less effective and more flimsy than the “masculine” ones. In my experience, this has been especially true while shaving around the knee, where there are more bends, and the razor head is more likely to snap off and fly across the shower floor. At that point, I’d rather embrace the au natural look than scrape a bacteria-ridden razor blade across my skin.
For these reasons, I usually buy disposable five-blade drug tore razors marketed toward men. They get the job done and they’re cheaper.
However, I’ve officially been influenced by Athena Club and will gladly pay a small pink tax because the razor actually works, and it improved my shaving experience. The reusable razor handle pairs with durable five-blade razors that move with a flexible head, so they stay put around the knee.
Athena Club’s basic starter kit is the Razor Kit, which currently starts at $5 or $10 before refills, depending on which color razor you choose. To select which plan is best for you, Athena Club gives you options based on how often you shave — the most popular eight-blade refills every three months, for example, is right for a person who shaves their legs a few times a week. As a big bonus, the Razor Kit comes with a magnetic storage hook so you can easily store your razor right on your shower wall. For your razor and shower magnet, you can choose from a variety of nice colors — eight standard colors and three current limited-editions.
Another quality I really liked about the Athena Club razor is that while it stayed put during shaving, it was really easy to detach with the push of a button. I also tried the Super Bloom exfoliating sugar scrub, which I think smells amazing, but it’s one of the scented add-ons that may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and you’ll need to purchase it separately.

Bevel is a shave club designed specifically for Black men — though anyone with coarser or curly hair wanting to reduce razor burn as they shave their face may benefit from Bevel’s safety razors and full range of shaving products.
While I am not the target consumer for Bevel, the company’s eco-friendly packaging and starter kit options impressed me. The Bevel Essential Disposable Starter Kit for $30 comes with five disposables, and the Bevel Shave Kit, which is a real upgrade, comes with a silver-colored, weighted brass safety razor, shave brush, 40 blades, pre-shave oil, shave cream and post-shave balm for $90. Because I don’t shave my face, I’d never worked with a safety razor before, but I thought the heavy feel of the reusable premium razor was especially classy for those who want a little weight on their razor.
In terms of refills, a 20-pack of blades for the safety razor is $10 and $8 for a monthly subscription. The same prices apply for a five-pack of disposable razors. Another note about scents: I liked the smell of all of Bevel’s shave balms and creams, because they have a lemon or citrus scent I think is unique compared to other aftershaves.
While Bevel’s disposable razor option is 100% disposable — meaning there’s not a reusable handle with disposable heads — the company says it’s made with a 45% wheat straw plastic alternative, making them a bit more earth-friendly.
Bevel also sells products for body shaving.

Dollar Shave Club is a popular name in the shave-club game. Its appeal and shave products lean more toward men’s care, but anyone who wants to shave their legs, their face or anything else can get some bang for their buck with this club.
Like other shave clubs, there are a variety of products to choose from, but Dollar Shave Club’s Starter Set may be a good choice to get started, and it’s extremely affordable for new members at just $5. It comes with a reusable razor handle, four replaceable razor heads with six blades (a perk if you like additional blades to get the job done), a razor cover and a one-ounce bottle of shave butter. After you get started, a four-count of replaceable razors are shipped every month for $10 plus $2 shipping.
The Dollar Club razor has a particularly good grip. But for leg shaving, I thought the Athena Club razor beat out Dollar Shave Club because of its flexible head and easy-to-replace razor head, so I would recommend the former over this kit for most women. However, the fact that Dollar Shave Club sells six-blade razors and its razor is fairly gender- and shaving-neutral makes it a good universal option.

Harry’s focuses on simplicity, style and higher-quality craftsmanship for its shaving and grooming products. There are just two handle options for their men’s razors and one type of razor cartridge. For $12, the Winston handle is metal with no-slip rubber grips. For $10, you can get the Truman, which has a rubber coating throughout and comes in orange, navy and green.
Like Dollar Shave Club, Harry’s offers a $5 shaving essentials grooming starter pack that includes one five-blade razor blade cartridge, handle, travel cover and shave gel. With a Harry’s Shave Club subscription, you get eight new cartridges for $16 (plus shaving gel for an extra $6) every two, three or six months, depending on how often you shave.
In addition to blades, Harry’s also sells face wash, post-shave balm, soap and other body care items.
