ABOUT DSC:

In 2011 we didnt just disrupt the entire shaving industry; we revolutionized it shattering conventions with a viral video sensation that became the gold standard for humor in advertising. Our trailblazing direct-to-consumer model didnt just pave new pathsit bulldozed age old industry giants minting us as a force to be reckoned with.
