Birchbox Man - November 2012 Review - Monthly Grooming Subscription Boxes for Men

I love that the Birchbox Man boxes arrive at the very beginning of the month!

The Box: Birchbox Man

The Cost: $20 a month

The Products: Grooming and lifestyle products for men.

Atelier Cologne Vetiver Fatal - 2 mL Value $4

I received a different Atelier Cologne in my Birchbox a few months ago and loved it. I'm a fan of the men's version as well. I also love the postcards the samples come with - such a nice touch!

Billy Jealousy Combination Code Face Moisturizer - 1 oz Value $8.70

I'm very pleased with the sample sizes this month. This moisturizer is 1/3 the size of the full size version.

Old Calgary Oxford Card Sleeve Wallet - Value $25

Love that this wallet is worth more than the cost of the box! It's really well made, but my boyfriend prefers his current tri-fold wallet, so this will be a great gift!

The Art of Shaving After-Shave Balm - .5 oz Value $6

Evolution Man Wash & Buff - 7 mL Value $1


Verdict: For $20 we received over $40 worth of product, and I love that there were no foil packets in this months box! I also reviewed each of the items and received $5 in credit to spend at Birchbox.  (Check out the tutorial on how to review products and earn points here). All in all, I'm very pleased with the November box - and I think my boyfriend is too!

Birchbox Man - October 2012 Review - Monthly Men's Grooming and Lifestyle Subscription Boxes

This month's Birchbox Man was a little late - they had shipping issues. What I love about Birchbox is before I even noticed it was late, they emailed me, apologized and credited 100 points ($10) to my account! On top of the customer service going above and beyond - this box is great!

The Box: Birchbox Man

The Cost: $20 a month (includes shipping)

The Products: Grooming and lifestyle products for men.

Make it a Double Jigger - Value $7

Caskers Coupon Code for $10 off 

Cartier Declaration - 1.5 ml Value $2

Oribe Creme for Style - 7 mL Value $1.50

Borghese Active Mud for Delicate Dry Skin -1 oz Value $5

American Crew Classic Body Wash - 1.7 oz Value $4

Looks like this mud mask works for guys and ladies - I may be stealing this one!

Teroforma Whisky Stones - 6 stones Value $14

I love that Birchbox Man includes lifestyle items like these whiskey stones.  It keeps the boxes fun! (They are usually my boyfriend's favorite part of the box).


Verdict: We received over $30 worth of products in this box - a great value! Like I mentioned before, I had a $10 credit for this shipping late, and reviewed the items to earn another $6 so this box really only cost me $4 - amazing! (Check out my tutorial on earning Birchbox money by giving feedback on products here).

Dollar Shave Club Review - Monthly Razor / Men's Grooming Subscription Boxes

I wanted to share this one time review of Dollar Shave Club (it's the same thing every month) so you can see exactly what's in the box.

The Box: Dollar Shave Club

The Price: $1, $6, or $9 a month depending on what razor option you choose.

The Products: Razor handles and blades that cover you for the entire month.

The first month they send you a handle and a set of blades. Every month after, a set of another 4 blades. I signed up for the $6 a month option - it works for both men and women. This is a pretty handy and inexpensive service - I'm a fan!

12 Society Box Four - October 2012 Review and Unboxing - Monthly Men's Subscription Boxes

I have some mixed thoughts / concerns about 12 Society's box and their subscription plan as a whole. I noticed they just made major changes to their website - the box used to promise a $125 value, and now they changed it to $85.  I would expect them to email their subscribers and inform them of this change, but instead I had to find out by checking out their site. Hopefully they will still email everyone before they charge for Box Five.

Also, they used to have 6 celebrities/athletes picking the items in the box, now they only mention:

"Get amazing products from Blake Griffin, Tim Lincecum, Nick Cannon, and many more"

Not sure what's going on - but I really hope they inform their subscribers soon.

The Box: 12 Society

The Cost: $39

The Products: $125 $85 worth of best-of products picked by celebrities/athletes.

This month's 12 Society box was all branded items made exclusively for 12 Society members.

Blake Griffin Canvas Print - 12 Society's MSRP $69.99

12 Society sweatshirt - MSRP $60

Not my style, but the material is high quality.

Mini Baseball Slugger - MSRP $25

Monogram iPhone 4 case - MSRP $49.99


Verdict: I'm using the MSRP 12 Society listed in the box for these items. Considering that you can't buy these items anywhere, and 12 Society could declare the MSRP to be anything they want, I think the value they are attributing to these products is a little high. The quality of these products is great, but they aren't for me. I'm also surprised they sent an iPhone 4 case to everyone - when so many people don't have iPhones, or are planning to upgrade to iPhone 5.

Last month, two out of the 5 items were branded (12 Society and Five Four Club) and it seems like they are moving to the trend of a completely branded box. If you are a Blake Griffin fan I think this is a great box to subscribe to, but I will likely cancel my subscription as it doesn't appeal to me, and I don't think a female version of 12 Society will be happening anytime soon.

What did you think of this box and the changes they are making?
