No, I’m not affiliated with them. I’m not even a customer, but I do think using some humor and simplicity in advertising is refreshing. Hope they do well.

It’s a website for a company that mails you razors every month. If you don’t feel like being “marketed” to, don’t click. It’s just funny is all.

I wouldn’t subscribe (the $1/month version is crap – you don’t get anything decent until $6/month), but the intro video is definitely worth a look (and a chuckle).
