Unilever announced on Tuesday evening that it is getting into the razor business, by agreeing to acquire Dollar Shave Club.

No financial terms were disclosed, but multiple sources close to the deal tells Fortune that Unilver UK is paying $1 billion in cash for the Santa Monica, Calif.-based business. That same source says that Unilver approached Dollar Shave Club about the acquisition.

Dollar Shave Club founder and CEO Michael Dubin will continue to run the company, which will operate its direct-to-consumer razor business as an independent entity.

We are excited to be part of the family.”
