History. Dollar Shave Club was founded by Mark Levine and Michael Dubin. The pair met at a party and spoke of their frustrations with the cost of razor blades. With their own money and investments from start-up incubator Science Inc., they began operations in January 2011 and launched their website in April 2011.

Dollar Shave Club founder Michael Dubin is very serious about his hilarious offbeat advertising. You expect Michael Dubin to be funny. After all, he wrote, produced, and starred in one of the funniest and most viral commercials that's ever been posted on YouTube, a 2012 ad for his company, Dollar Shave Club.

Jason Goldberger (Jan 19, 2021–)Dollar Shave Club / CEO Jason Goldberger has been appointed as chief executive officer of Dollar Shave Club (DSC) effective January 19, 2021. Michael Dubin, who founded DSC in 2011, previously informed the Board of his decision to step down from his role as CEO and will remain with the company as a special advisor and board member.

Once a private company, Dollar Shave was purchased by Unilever in 2016 for approximately $1 billion. Unilever kept the club intact and it has remained a key player in the shave-subscription space with an estimated 4 million members, according to the company.

This business model made it possible to provide cheaper razors for consumers, since competitors like Gillette had to deal with the higher costs of retail distribution. Offering a subscription model in their space was a smart strategy that allowed Dollar Shave Club to take over more than a third of the razor market.

Dollar Shave Club spends much less on advertising and marketing. So Dollar Shave club can sell their blades for less. Dollar Shave Club doesn't manufacture anything. They buy their blades from suppliers outside the US.

$1 billion Michael Dubin hasn't slowed down since Unilever bought his startup Dollar Shave Club for a reported $1 billion in 2016. Dubin still serves as CEO of the subscription service, one that specializes in affordable razors.

In case you didn't know, Dollar Shave Club was a startup that sells monthly razor subscriptions for $1. In July 2016, the company was acquired by Unilever for $1 billion US.

By bringing the disruptive Harry's under Edgewell's control, the complaint alleges, the proposed acquisition would eliminate important and growing competition among suppliers of wet shave razors, and would inflict significant harm on consumers of razors across the United States.

Unilever waited too long to expand into brick-and-mortar stores, unsuccessfully attempted to stretch the brand beyond shaving products, and underestimated how Dollar Shave Club's high customer acquisition costs would make turning a profit difficult.
