I just went and looked at them and there was no soap of the month club. Yes the first month on all of them was setting up a new wet shaver with a DE razor brush and all and then blades and other accruements monthly after that. There were none that offered a package that seemed to make sense for me, but if you were just getting started, they may be ok. Part of that would depend on the DE razor, hopefully it is quality and not too aggressive. I know nothing about them other than the fact that they scare me.
