Dollar Shave Club – The Best Start Up Video Ever?

I saw this video is starting to make waves with all the big boys on the net, including Mashable, Tech Crunch, Wall Street Journal & more… It isn’t long, but it really is World class and well worth watching. I have embedded the video below for you, it basically tell’s you straight up what shaving products are all about… Fuck the frills, endorsements and marketing gimmick’s this is quality shaving at your doorstep for only $1 a month!

Above is a scren shot of my best part of the advert. You can almost guess what he is going to say, but I thought to myself no ways, he couldn’t  about to be saying that… Or could he? This is the kind of shit that sells products and goes viral, simply because of it’s no frill, straight forward, creative approach! Check out the video below and let me know what you think?

Oh and did I mention their website crashed after the first day of sales and launching? Now that is what you call doing business right. Check it out if you are lucky enough to get on with all the traffic www.dollarshaveclub.com

    Ha ha that is sick!! This is the way advertising needs to go, but you also then need to offer a damn good product/service. Too often advertisers convince people to buy shit they don’t need at a price they can’t really afford. For some reason the attitude in this ad reminded me of this wine ad, very cool too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVaNxB5TN2M

      Awesome. Somehow you just think that with an advert and attitude like this guy has, the service will be golden?

    Yeah I dig the confidence and the attitude. I’d like to think they wouldn’t start off with an advert like this, only to follow it up with poor service. The word about bad service will spread just as quick as the word spread about this ad. I’m sure they’d work hard to keep the momentum from this going.
