Overview & Photos: Birchbox Man
It’s no secret that I love Birchbox, so when the company started a monthly subscription service for the boys, I convinced my boyfriend, Chris, to sign up! He received his first Birchbox Man box this week! 
If you’re familiar with the women’s Birchbox, you’ll notice that the men’s box is not only bigger, but is also constructed differently. I quite like the design of the men’s box and actually prefer it over the women’s box. Though, either design can prove to be very useful for storage and organization!
Another difference is the price. The men’s subscription costs $20 per month, so it’s a bit pricey than the women’s subscription, which costs only $10 per month.
Like the women’s box, the men’s box also includes a card detailing the contents of the box, as well as features on the Birchbox Man website. And, of course, everything is packaged neatly in tissue paper. 
If your boyfriend, husband or best male friend doesn’t use anything past a three-in-one shower gel, the products included in May’s box can ease him into a more detailed, but still streamlined grooming routine. The products are straightforward and easy to use, plus the colorful socks are a fun addition that will add a pop of color to any man’s wardrobe.
Here’s a quick overview of Chris’ thoughts on the products:
1: Kiehl’s Ultimate Man Body Scrub Soap: He’s not a fan of the soap’s scent, but said he could feel the soap opening his pores thanks to the exfoliating bits.
2: Billy Jealousy Liquid Sand Exfoliating Facial Cleanser: He said that the sand’s exfoliating properties are noticeable, but didn’t find them to be irritating or harsh on the skin. He plans to continue using it to determine further results.
3: CoSTUME NATIONAL Scent Intense: He likes the cologne’s scent and finds that it isn’t overpowering.
4: Richer Poorer Socks: He said that the socks are comfy. (And what more can you ask for from a snazzy pair of socks?)
Will you be signing your favorite man up for Birchbox Man, or have you done so already?
