No Shave Life (Monthly Beard Club Surprise Box)

What's in the box: The site does not describe box contents, but its beard care range includes beard oils, balms, washes and wooden combs.

No Shave Life is a beard-themed lifestyle brand that sells headwear, apparel, accessories and grooming products. Its beard care section has beard oils, balms, washes and wooden combs. Some come from other makers such as Detroit Grooming Co. and Walton Wood Farm, and there is also a tobacco-scented oil and balm. Most of the storefront is given over to trucker hats, snapbacks, hoodies and t-shirts, and the site does not clearly promote a monthly beard club or surprise box. It does not say how a subscription works, what it costs, how often it ships or how to cancel. If you want a recurring box, contact the company before you sign up. What you can rely on is a simple online shop where you buy beard products one at a time and choose the scents and tools you want. Fans of bearded-lifestyle humor will like the bold logo graphics, though some shirt slogans may not suit everyone. Orders over $75 ship free, which is easy to reach if you add a hat or hoodie to your grooming items. Overall, No Shave Life works better as a beard merch and grooming store than as a proven subscription service, and the missing box details pull its score down.
