Dollar Shave Club's Inventory Origin
Share
A story about how Dollar Shave Club's founder gave different origin stories for his company.
"I saw an interview with the guy who started Dollar Shave Club. Sometimes he's like 'I started Dollar Shave Club because I was just sick of going to Walgreens and I had to ask them to open up the razors.'
Then in another interview he says 'My father-in-law is crazy and he likes to buy random stuff, and one time he bought a shipping container full of cheap razors and we just had to figure out a way how to sell them all.'"
