Razor Subscription Provisions I Check First

Razor subscriptions lock you into proprietary systems with blades that only fit their handles. These terms affect your long-term costs and flexibility.

Handle Compatibility Termination

High Risk

Company may discontinue blade cartridges for your handle, forcing you to buy a new handle or leave. No obligation to maintain compatibility.

Look for: "We may discontinue products at any time. No guarantee of continued compatibility between handles and blade cartridges."

"Cancel Anytime" vs. Minimum Terms

High Risk

Advertised as "cancel anytime" but intro pricing may require minimum shipments. Early cancellation could mean paying full price retroactively.

Look for: "Promotional pricing requires [X] shipments. Cancellation before [X] shipments results in billing at regular price."

Product Formulation Changes

Medium Risk

Blade coating, shave gel formula, or product composition may change without notice. No guarantee you'll get the same product you originally signed up for.

Look for: "We reserve the right to modify product formulations, ingredients, or specifications at any time without notice."

Price Lock Duration

Medium Risk

Introductory prices often lock for limited time. After promotional period, prices may increase significantly with minimal notice.

Look for: "Promotional pricing valid for [X] months. Standard pricing applies thereafter. We may adjust prices with [X] days notice."

Blade Quality Tier Changes

Medium Risk

Companies may swap your blade tier (4-blade vs 6-blade) based on availability, substitute "comparable" products, or downgrade without price adjustment.

Look for: "We may substitute comparable products if your selection is unavailable. Substitutions at our discretion."

Satisfaction Guarantee Limitations

Medium Risk

Money-back guarantees often exclude shipping, limit to first order only, or require returning unused product. Fine print may limit what's actually guaranteed.

Look for: "Satisfaction guarantee applies to first shipment only. Return shipping at customer expense. Opened products non-refundable."
