You're asking how each force affects shaving subscriptions; this template covers all five: industry rivalry, buyer power, supplier power, threat of substitutes, and threat of new entrants.

It gives actionable implications for pricing, margins, and partnerships. One-liner: Force-by-force, practical and prescriptive.
