Dubin is considered by many to be one of the most innovative marketers in the direct–to–consumer sector. His strategy — an offbeat, comedic YouTube video in which he hawked $1 razors “so gentle a toddler could use — landed the company millions of subscribers when it went viral in 2012.

By 2016, thecompany had booked $225 million in sales, shaving market share from stalwarts in the men’s grooming industry and adding fuel to the subscription–box and DTC startup craze.
Five years ago, Dubin sold his company for $1 billion to consumer products giant Unilever.
