The 9 Best Grooming Subscription Boxes for Men, According to Grooming Editors

Date:

Best Shaving Subscription Box

Harry’s Starter Set

Starter Set

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 Skincare Subscription Box

Geologie Complete Skincare Set

Complete Skincare Set

Pros
  • Customized skincare protocol
  • Can change products at any time
  • Can add on additional items like body wash

Whether you’re new to the skincare game or already know what Vitamin C serum is (and use it), Geologie offers options for you. There are a few ways to go about it: Go through the online quiz to get a personal routine designed especially for your skin, purchase one of the pre-curated sets (we’re partial to the Complete Skincare Set), or build your routine from their top-tier products yourself.

No matter which route you go, you’ll come away with a well-rounded routine made up of products that actually work. And each option has a subscription option which makes reordering a no-brainer. Opt for one month and you’ll get travel-sized products or three months to receive full sizes (each full-size product is designed to last you about three months). On top of that, if you change your mind about something and want to remove it from your subscription, or better yet replace it with something else, it’s as easy as clicking a button.

Cost $45-$114 (for a 1 or 3 month supply, respectively) and more with add-ons

Best Haircare Subscription Box

Prose The Salon

The Salon

Pros
  • Can customize for hair and skin care
  • For every ten products purchased, you get one free
  • Free shipping

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.

Category Haircare and skincare
Customization Yes
Frequency Varies
Cost Shampoos and conditioners start at $29 (price goes up with each additional product)

Best Oral Care Subscription Box

Boka Oral Care Subscriptions

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

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 Prescription Subscription Box

Curology Customized Skincare Set

Customized Skincare Set

Pros
  • Customized prescription skincare
  • Virtual dermatologist consults
  • Can change custom formula if it’s not working well

Skincare is never a one-size-fits-all sort of thing and in some cases, you need to bring out the big guns to tackle persistent issues. But getting a prescription skincare product isn’t always as easy as it might seem. If you don’t have access to a dermatologist or don’t have the time for an in-office appointment, Curology offers a solution.

A virtual consultation with a dermatologist allows them to custom mix a product that will target your specific issues (like acne, rosacea, aging, and more). Then they can help you build a routine around it using products. Then, once your routine is built, opt for the subscription option. Not only can you customize what’s included, but it also allows you to have follow-up appointments with the dermatologists who can tweak your custom formula if it’s not working well (yet).

Customization Yes
Frequency Monthly
Cost Starts at $25 for custom formula and goes up with each additional product

Best Variety Subscription Box

BeautyFix Subscription

Subscription

Pros
  • Can try multiple brands
  • Contains skin and hair care samples
  • Price goes down with a longer subscription plan

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

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).

Customization No
Frequency 3 months
Cost $250 per box ($200 per box if you buy a full year upfront)

Best Body Care Subscription Box

Manscaped Peak Hygiene Plan

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.
