Giving Our Troops the Conveniences of Home

RazorsDirect.com, an online retailer of shaving products, provides refill blades at discounted prices to American soldiers serving overseas, giving them a taste of the conveniences back home.

Clermont, FL (PRWEB) November 27, 2007 -- RazorsDirect.com, an online retailer of shaving products, provides refill blades at discounted prices to American soldiers serving overseas, giving them a taste of the conveniences back home.

Due to a shortage of the most popular types of razor blades at military locations, American soldiers often cannot get the exact razor blade refills they desire. Consequently, this becomes one of the key items requested from their families back home. Razors Direct (available online at http://www.razorsdirect.com) helps families and charitable organizations bring these comforts to the soldiers, mainly by offering shaving products in bulk at discounted prices.

"We have really been impressed by the lengths some charitable groups go to in order to provide our troops the luxuries they are used to at home," says Mary Hagglund of Razors Direct. "We like to think that we play a role in this effort and are proud to assist our troops, even if in a small way."

Some of the groups involved in the effort include Soldiers Angels, the Marine Corps Family Support Community, Lions Club branches, local churches, and local businessmen. Razors Direct ships blades to these groups, who then include the products in Care packages sent to soldiers. Razors Direct also ships directly to APO / FPO addresses at no extra charge.

These packages take between a week and two weeks to reach Iraq, giving soldiers the clean shave they are accustomed to back home. Razors Direct is, says Walter J., "my only way to receive the type of razors I use while serving in Iraq."
