I've never written about a product other than glasses on the ol' Glassyeyes blog, but this is just such a great deal (and idea) on another unreasonably expensive item, that I couldn't resist.

If you haven't seen the viral video for DollarShaveClub.com, you really ought to do so now. You'll laugh and then think, yeah, why the hell are those blades so expensive, and then you'll do like I did and sign up -- unless you use an electric razor or are somehow naturally hairless.

Anyway, take it for what it's worth. I'm impressed.

They probably mean "house-brand", but regardless of the adjective, this is a really great deal.

This deal ends some time on Friday -- so hurry!

I've been doing some work on catching up with the site over the holidays and I came across a bit of a rant in the forums from what I can only guess is an optician or the mom of an optician.

Here it is:

Free advice? Bad advice.

If you only wear glasses at night, if you only use glasses for a computer or you can buy your glasses from walgreens then by all means buy them online. But if it's a prescription, for the love of god, get it filled by someone who is knowledgeable about the trade. If you don't heed this advice also do us a favor and don't bother going to a local optician to have your frames fit or to trouble shoot your problems; you already had your hand in putting him out of business, don't also insult him by asking for his time and expertise for free.
