Analyze razor and shaving subscription terms for handle compatibility lock-in, minimum commitments, product formulation changes, and satisfaction guarantee limitations.
Built by Sergei Tokmakov, California-licensed attorney.
Razor subscriptions lock you into proprietary systems with blades that only fit their handles. These terms affect your long-term costs and flexibility.
Company may discontinue blade cartridges for your handle, forcing you to buy a new handle or leave. No obligation to maintain compatibility.
Advertised as "cancel anytime" but intro pricing may require minimum shipments. Early cancellation could mean paying full price retroactively.
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.
Introductory prices often lock for limited time. After promotional period, prices may increase significantly with minimal notice.
Companies may swap your blade tier (4-blade vs 6-blade) based on availability, substitute "comparable" products, or downgrade without price adjustment.
Money-back guarantees often exclude shipping, limit to first order only, or require returning unused product. Fine print may limit what's actually guaranteed.
Beyond razor-specific terms, I also check these standard provisions that affect your rights.
Caps damages for skin irritation or product defects.
Your responsibility for product-related injuries.
Forced arbitration for subscription disputes.
Can't join class actions over defective products.
