The 9 Best Grooming Subscription Boxes for Men
<p>If you’re the type of guy who tends to forget to buy refills of, well, anything, a subscription box can be your best friend. The subscription box is not merely relegated to <a href=” target=”_blank”>clothing subscriptions</a>. These days many grooming brands offer subscriptions to products, which take away the hassle of needing to remember to drop by the drug store, but can also save you money since brands usually offer a discount if you subscribe. </p><p>Truthfully, whatever part of your grooming routine you can think of—from <a href=” to <a href=” a subscription for that. They can also be helpful for discovering new products, since some services stock their boxes with sample-size products allowing you to test out new <a href=” <a href=” and <a href=” without committing to the full size until you know you like it. <br><br>So whether you’re a fan of convenience, want to stop forgetting to buy stuff, or just want to try some new things, a subscription box could be the best thing for you. Out of all that we’ve tried, these are the most convenient, well-stocked or highest quality we’ve found. It’s never been easier to be the best-groomed guy in the room. Oh, and grooming subscription boxes make great <a href=” target=”_blank”>gifts for men</a>, too. </p><h2 class=”body-h2″>What To Consider </h2><h3 class=”body-h3″>Category </h3><p class=”body-text”>These days, you can subscribe to almost any product in any category. In fact, you could subscribe to every single part of your grooming routine from shaving to skincare to oral care. Some boxes are even variety packs, which allow you to try out new products across any given category. It’s beneficial to consider what you’re hoping to get out of a subscription box. If you simply want to replenish products you’re already using, look to see if there is a subscription option for those (take <a href=” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>Gillette razor refill subscriptions</a> on Amazon for instance). If you’re hoping to use a subscription box to discover new stuff, go for a variety.</p><h3 class=”body-h3″>Customization</h3><p>Even when you subscribe to something, you may not want to get locked into the same products every month or however frequently your box arrives. Even if you’re subscribing to a box for a single item or two, you may want to consider customizable options. Many subscription programs allow you to change what’s included in each shipment, allowing you to try different things or re-up on different products at various times. It’s a good way to get the most out of your subscription and avoid receiving too much of the same thing. However, it means you need to be a bit more engaged in the process in order to manage what is in your box.</p><h3 class=”body-h3″>Frequency </h3><p>Depending on what you’re subscribing to, you may want your box to come more or less often. For instance, toothbrushes and electric toothbrush heads are recommended to be changed every three months, whereas razor blades will need to be changed way more frequently depending on how often you shave. Consider what products you’re subscribing to and how often they need to be changed in order to decide how frequently your box should come. Most subscription boxes allow you to manage the frequency (usually between one and three months and sometimes more).</p><h3 class=”body-h3″>Cost</h3><p class=”body-text”>The overall benefit of subscribing to something isn’t just that you can receive refills without going to the store yourself. Many companies offer discounts if you subscribe to its products. This can save you a lot of money in the long run, especially when you subscribe to frequently replaced items like razor blades which can get expensive. It’s always beneficial to weigh the full-price cost of an item against the subscriber price plus how frequently you need to repurchase to figure out if a subscription box is a good deal or not (and remember that you’ll often get automatically billed each time a box is sent out).<br></p><h2 class=”body-h2″>How We Selected</h2><p class=”body-text”>There are a ton of subscription boxes and plans out there today, so our grooming editors leaned on all our favorite grooming products across various categories that we’re continually testing. We then dug into which brands’ products we’ve tried and like offer subscription options, then testing the subscription boxes and services themselves. We evaluated them all considering things like the product selection, customizable options, ease of use, and overall cost. Of course, we also took into account the quality of the products, which is why you’ll notice many of the boxes on this list feature<em> Men’s </em><em>Health-</em>endorsed products. A subscription box is only as good as what’s inside, after all.<br></p>”/>
Pros
- Inexpensive starter kit
- Can customize products in refill box
- Free shipping
Cons
- Limited to just shaving products
Shell out only $5 for the Harry’s trial set, which includes a razor handle, a blade cartridge and a trial-size shaving gel, and you open the door to not only one of the best shaving experiences but also one of the most economical. Harry’s products are top-quality and deliver a great, close shave without breaking the bank—and the subscription option makes it even better.
Start out by choosing your handle (you can upgrade to the chrome version for an extra $10) and then you get to choose what goes in your refill box (not just blades, other products as well like shaving gel) plus how often it gets automatically delivered to you based on how often you shave. Saving money and not worrying about running out of razor blade refills? That’s a win-win.

Best Haircare Subscription Box
Prose The Salon
Pros
- Can customize for hair and skin care
- For every ten products purchased, you get one free
- Free shipping
Cons
- Can get expensive
The idea is simple: Fill out the (very thorough) questionnaire about all of your hair needs, your lifestyle, and more and you’ll receive custom mixed shampoo, conditioner, and more specifically designed for you. You can even customize the scents. Prose not only makes the case for using haircare that’s specifically designed for your hair type, but takes it even further by mixing up some of the best products we’ve tried (don’t sleep on the deep conditioning hair mask).
And definitely don’t sleep on the subscription plan which not only makes reordering a breeze, but also allows to you mix and match the products in your delivery, pause it if you want, and offers you a pretty amazing discount—for every 10 products you get, you get one free. Trust us, this is the fast track to the best hair of your life.

Best Oral Care Subscription Box
Boka Oral Care Subscriptions
Pros
- Automatically replenishes brush heads
- Can subscribe to multiple items
- Good quality products
Cons
- Must subscribe to products individually
We’re fans of Boka’s straightforward, easy to use, and highly effective electric toothbrush (it’s the charcoal bristles for us), but if you’re not an electric toothbrush guy, the brand offers everything from manual brushes to high-quality toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, and evening whitening products. Nearly everything Boka makes comes with a subscription option which is incredibly convenient, not only for things like toothbrush head replacements, but paste, mouthwash and floss, too.
Build your perfect oral care routine from the wide range of offerings and you save 20 percent if you opt-in to subscribe. Depending on the product, you can select how often you want it to come (some products, like toothbrushes, don’t need to be replaced as often as others). The one drag is that you can’t create a bundle—you can only subscribe individually—but the subscription management portal makes it easy to keep track of your refills.

Best Cologne Subscription Box
Scentbird Cologne Subscription
Pros
- Quiz to help you identify scents you might like
- Each 8 mL sample has 120 sprays
- Good way to test fragrance without buying
Cons
- Only receive one at a time
The wide world of fragrance can seem especially wide if you’re on the hunt for a new cologne. You might not necessarily want to buy something without smelling it first, but you also might not want to spend a couple of hours at the department store getting spritzed in the face with samples. Scentbird offers the best solution we’ve found. For a low monthly price, you get an 8mL cologne sample delivered to your door, allowing you to try it out on your own time.
Each sample allows for 120 sprays, which can last you a pretty long time if you spray conservatively. The process is like old-school Netflix. Browse the extensive offering of designer, well-known, and niche brands and add the ones you want to try to your queue (there’s also a quiz that matches you with potential scents if you’re stumped). Each month you’ll get one of the colognes from your list and if it ever reaches the end, Scentbird will send you its pick of the month.

Best Variety Subscription Box
BeautyFix Subscription
Pros
- Can try multiple brands
- Contains skin and hair care samples
- Price goes down with a longer subscription plan
Cons
- Not customizable
One of the classic subscription box models is the variety box, which allows you to experience samples of products you might not otherwise know about or try. Believe us, these things can be great—we’ve found some of our favorite products that way. These types of boxes are fewer and far between these days, but this one from Dermstore, one of our favorite online retailers for grooming products, is a winner.
Each month you get around six samples of skin and hair care products from legit (and Men’s Health-endorsed) brands like EltaMD, Medik8, R+Co, and La Roche-Posay. Try them risk-free and, if you like them, head back to the site to order the full size.

Flamingo Estate Seasonal Subscription Box
Pros
- High-quality products
- Contains grooming and home products
- Makes a great gift
Cons
- The most expensive option on this list
We’re huge fans of Flamingo Estate, a brand that hand-makes all of its products in California. You’ll find some of our favorite soaps and candles, but also incredibly delicious olive oil and honey, elegant hand creams, and silky body wash. Opting in to the seasonal subscription box ensures you experience all the brand has to offer—every three months.
Hand-selected based on the best seasonal offerings, you’ll get new releases and classics so your kitchen and bathroom are always stocked with your favorites. Compared to other subscription boxes, it’s a hefty price, but given the fact that you get full sizes of around ten luxury essentials, it’s a solid investment in our book (and a great grooming gift).

Best Body Care Subscription Box
Manscaped Peak Hygiene Plan
Pros
- Can choose what is in each shipment
- Discount for additional products
- Tool replacement for free if a subscription member
Cons
- Can’t change frequency
Whether you’re trimming your undercarriage, your beard, or anything in between, we love Manscaped products because they make everything just so damn simple. So, of course, there’s a subscription box that simplifies everything even further. Not only can you get replacement blades for any of the tools, but you can also add some grooming products as well, like beard oils, ball deodorants and even body wash.
You have the option of choosing what goes into each shipment (you don’t need a new trimmer blade every month after all) and you even get a discount on additional products above the included two that you add. Best of all, if you’re a subscription member and something happens to one of your Manscaped tools, the brand will replace it for free.
