Back to school shopping for college guys can be stressful. What do they need? How can I fit it in their broom closet of a dorm? Will they actually use any of the shaving products I buy for them, or will they disappear into the shared bathroom cabinet, never to be seen or thought of again? With two boys in the house- one off at college, and one about to head there- I know how hard it seems to be to keep them clean-shaven. We’re constantly fighting the Battle of the Beard. I know the excuses: they’re busy studying, playing sports, and hanging out with their friends. There’s no time! There’s no space!
Well, with Gillette’s new subscription service, they don’t have to worry anymore. At around a dollar a week, you can have Gillette razor refills delivered directly to your door (or downstairs mailbox, as the case may be.) This means one more thing off the back to school shopping list for me, and no more excuses for them. They can come home clean-shaven during every break, and I don’t have to worry about them trying to navigate to a far-away store in the middle of the night before a big presentation- at least not for razor refills!
When I’m back to school shopping, I try to find brands I trust. I only want the best for my kids, whether they’re five miles away or five hundred. From name brand dorm snacks to decorations to body wash, I make sure their products are as good as they are. With over 800 million men worldwide using Gillette and their range of shaving and body grooming, to skin care and sweat protection products for over 110 years, I know that I will be getting my money’s worth. Especially with The Fusion Proglide, which has New Flexball technology- perfect for my son who always seems to have missed a spot. The Fusion Proglide with Flexball technology has three dimensional movement to move with the contours of men’s faces. This means no more missed hairs, and since it uses the same blades as the original Fusion Proglide, purchasing it once can save both money and your son’s shave for a long time to come.
Signing up for Gillette’s subscription service, available here , saved time and money in my back to school shopping, which gives me plenty of time to look for more dorm supplies. I might even find time to get myself a treat while I’m out!

You can put so many things on a subscription type service these days. There’s almost no reason to visit an actual store when you just order and have things delivered (which is fine by me, talk about time saving!).
Great deal! Gillette is an awesome brand too!
Great price on razors. I wonder how many he will go through
What a good deal. I’ll definitely recommend this.
We love Gillette razors!! We use them all the time!
What a great idea. My son starts college in the fall and this would be a great service for him!
That’s a great deal! I should use this for me and my legs. My husband doesn’t use a razor.
Nice! I have sensitive skin so I always use Gillette. Its the only brand that doesn’t irritate me.
This is such a good idea! Thanks for sharing this one.
thats an amazing service. it’s a good price too
That’s a reasonable price. Sounds like a subscription I could get behind. I’ll mention it to hubby over dinner.
We love these razors! Even I do, they are much better than women’s! Great deal too!
I had no idea that Gillette had a subscription service! You really can’t beat the price, either!
My husband started using these recently. He really likes them!
My husband loves this razor. I may need to steal 🙂
That’s a pretty fantastic deal. I will tell my husband…who is years from his college days now haha!
What a deal! I am waaaaaaay past college- but I will be taking advantage of that deal!
Great service I need to subscribe for my husband we always seems to forget the refill and we go the last moment or my hubby looks like a duck dynasty member.
This is definitely a great idea for sending kids off to school. Razors can be so expensive!!!
Wow $1 a week sounds like a great deal especially for college students. Thanks for sharing this and I’ll be sure to check it out.
This is a great idea for sending the kids off to school with some help. Because once they have to buy things like razors, many start growing beards!
I like most guys razors better than womens. They seem to work better!
The fine tuning of the rollerball is great… maybe I’ll get one for me! We need them just like the guys!
Subscription services for men are starting to grow and catch on. I think its great.
That is an awesome idea. Very handy for going off to school.
my son will go off to college next year. I’m so not ready!!
That is a great deal and I like that they are delivered.
My husband uses Gillette razors, so I’ll definitely be letting him know about this. His face is always so smooth!
That sounds like a great deal. I need to sign my hubby about this.
what! That’s an amazing deal. Since I’m the buyer in the house I need to look into this because my husband goes through razors like crazy.
Great deal – sharing this with the boys in my family! We are always looking for ways to save $$$!
That’s a fantastic deal for razors! I’ll have to look into this for my husband.
A dollar a week. Thats a great deal for razor refills. I like using guys razors better. I think they do a better job.
