Austin graduated from high school this year and is now starting the next chapter in his life. We always worry about our kids when they take that big first step into independence: what they’ll be doing, if they’ll be eating right, how they end up handling a budget and managing their money. It can be a shock to your system when things like shampoo, deodorant, and snacks don’t magically appear when they run out.
With the razor subscription program from Gillette, I’ll worry a tiny bit less about that last part. With this service, you can have your Gillette blades delivered directly to your door. I’ll pretend that all that extra time saved will be put towards studying or working.
For most guys, it works out to roughly $1 per week which is a huge savings. Absolutely something that I can get behind!
The razor subscription service is even available for use in conjunction with the new Gillette Fusion ProGlide with FlexBall Technology. These razors are the first of their kind, with a new handle that adjusts and pivots to respond to the contours of a man’s face for fewer missed hairs. They work with the existing Fusion ProGlide cartridges; the new handle lets the cartridge move in three dimensions for maximum contact.
Gillette Fusion ProGlide is what both hubby and Austin have been using for quite a long time now. Both of them – and many men I know that I’ve asked – have all agreed that Gillette razors are the best you can use. And after having used the new handles, they are even more excited about the performance.
Signing up for the Gillette razor subscription service is really easy. Simply select your blade type and preferred shipping retailer (like Amazon, Target, and more) and choose how many blades you want and the date on which you would like to receive them. Then enjoy your perfect shave!

My husband has this and he loves it, Gillette is the only brand he will use.
My husband is always running out of razor blades and making last minute trips to CVS. This would be perfect for him.
What a great service! I know a lot of college kids that could use this- I went to one where you HAD to have a clean shaven face (in the kitchen) and a lot of kids had the worst razors! ATTENTION: culinaty students
I hadn’t even thought of that, Chelley! Great suggestion
Going off to college can be such a shock for kids! I like the idea of the Gillette subscription service. Now I can know my son is going to come home clean-shaven.
How smart is this… I know that many college students are too busy to worry about razors and shopping so this is great! Thanks for sharing…
I always say the best gifts are those that are needed, and this is something I know many need! I think this is a great idea, and I’m sure the recipient would love it! One less thing to worry about!
Forget the guy going off to school…, I’d love the subscription program! I am always forgetting to pick up new blades! Like…oh this week! I’m out of blades and went to the store THREE times and STILL forgot the blades!!
I never thought of a razor service but its a great idea. I will have to keep it in mind for the hubby.
My husband just picked up one of the FlexBall razors and so far he is loving it. I’m sure he would be interested in a program like this.
This is such a great idea! There are so many fun subscriptions for the girls, but now my 19 year old son can have something fun and special too! We are never too old to love getting fun things in the mail.(And, now I won’t get heat for forgetting to pick up his razors at the store!)
Fantastic idea! My 19 year old son is starting college in the fall and I think this is a great idea.
Definitely my husband! We were just taking about how to save on blades because they get so expensive and the electric ones just don’t work for him. Thanks!
My boyfriend could really use this. That price is totally reasonable and he dulls them so darn quickly that this would be great!
Awesome service! That’s a great gift for someone going away to school!
