Gillette Subscription Service Saves Students
The Life of a Busy Pharmacy Student
One of the proudest day of my life was when my son, Ben, started his pharmacy studies. The day was marked by the traditional “White Coat Ceremony” where pharmacy interns are given their white coats. I can cry right now just remembering the day! It marked the end of one long academic climb for him and the start of another, to even loftier heights with the final summit being a Doctorate in Pharmacy.
The one thing I have noticed about pursuing a Doctorate in Pharmacy, is that the students have NO TIME! There is endless classes, labs, internships, and studying. Here’s a peek at his fall schedule for his third year of the program:
- Up at 5:00 am
- 5:30am–6:30 am Work out
- 6:30-7:00am Eat, shower, shave
- 7:00am–8:00am Drive to school and get ready for classes
- 8:00am–1:00pm In classes and labs
- 1:00pm–11:59pm Depending on day either go home and study OR go to internship
- 12:00 am Sleep
REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT
Can you see anytime in this busy student’s life for shopping? eating? breathing?
Students save time and money with a Gilllette Subscription
When I told my son that Gillette had a subscription service for its blades, he was super interested. He could see how it would save him time (shopping for blades, remembering to buy blades, getting to the store). The Gillette subscription service for blade refill is a practical, hassle-free option that delivers Gillette’s blades directly to your door. My son agreed that this service would give him one less thing to think about.
Here’s how it works:
- Select your blade and retailer
- Customize your subscription
- Enjoy your perfect shave
But BEN is dead broke ALL THE TIME, he was worried that the Gillette Subscription Blade Refill Service would be too expensive. He currently uses the Gillette Fusion razor and while he love the razor, the blades are not cheap. He constantly is watching for sales. I told him that Gillette’s best blades are more affordable than you might think—only about $1 a week for most guys. Ben loved the idea of that and wanted the link to sign up!
Introducing a great new product: Gillette Fusion ProGlide with New FlexBall Technology
As my son currently uses the Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor, he was very interested to try the Gillette Fusion ProGlide with FlexBall Technology. It’s the first razor of its kind, with a new handle that adjusts and pivots to respond to the contours of a man’s face for fewer missed hairs. Using existing Fusion ProGlide cartridges, the new handle lets the cartridge move in three dimensions for maximum contact. The result is #ShavingRebuilt for an entirely new shave experience. Men who tried the Fusion ProGlide with FlexBall Technology prefer it 2-to-1 over the standard Fusion ProGlide. And since it uses the same blades as the Fusion ProGlide, it’s a one-time purchase for a 2X better shave.
When my son finished using the sample we were provided by Gillette, he asked me if he could have the sample razor and the other one that was still in the package. Obviously, he was won over by the new technology. The end result looks nice, don’t you think?

My husband is pretty particular about his razor, but I would totally love something like this!
Kungphoo says
I have used this razor before and it is really good.. I may have to get a subscription service, because the razors i have now are bad..
Tammi @ My Organized Chaos says
Awe congrats to him!! And yes, it’s so great that it’s so affordable for this service, blades can get very pricey. How could you not then, right?!
Michelle F. says
That looks like a great razor. I have to get one for my husband.
Ronda Ogilvie says
Well looks like it worked! He is clean shaving!! Never heard of a razor subscription, I guess they think of everything now-a-days!!
Carlee C says
My husband could use a service like this. He goes through razors pretty fast. Thanks for sharing.
Holly says
Congrats to your son on this big accomplishment. This is such a great idea for busy people. There is nothing worse than running out of razors when you need them most.
Lena says
This is pretty awesome – i can never remember to restock for DH. he is not a student, but he can sure use something like this
Jessica Peeling says
I know the EXACT feeling, as I am a second year medical student. They need a subscription service for women! I don’t have time to go to the store to buy shaving cream and razors to do my legs all the time.
Carol Cassara says
Wow! A handsome young man. A beautiful family. AND a razor my husband might like. That service sounds pretty darn good.
Nancy @ Whispered Inspirations says
What a great subscription. Perfect for any man!
Rena McDaniel-The Diary of an Alzheimer's Caregiver says
I saw a review of this product earlier and it looks like something we definitely need in this house! My husband has to shave everyday or within a week he is mistaken for a long lost Duck Dynasty brother. Thanks for sharing I will definitely have to check this out!

My family loves the Gillette razor. I Need One For Me 😉
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
My husband needs this. He is notorious for telling me at 10 pm that he needs to run to the 24 hour CVS for razor blades because he’s completely out.
Rebekah says
I don’t know about my husband, but I would love a razor subscription service. It seems like the only time I remember I need new blades is in the shower! Gillette needs to get a women’s version!
Gwendolyn M says
I might have to check this out for hubby because he always forgets to tell me when he needs refills!!
Kayla @ TheEclecticElement says
My boyfriend actually just bought one of those old fashioned shavers hoping to work his way up to a straight razor in the future because he’s so tired of all the less-then-optimal quality razors that cost an arm and a leg!
Patty says
Your pride in your son shines through! I’m sure he is thrilled with Gillette’s subscriptions service; I can imagine it’s mice to not have to worry about whether he has a sharp razor or not.
Jenna Wood says
You mean we can subscribe to Gillette razors directly and not have to fuss with in store stock issues or running out unexpectedly? This is perfect for our busy lifestyle!
Liz @ Yes/No Films says
That sounds like a really convenient service for men. Your son is very cute, also! 🙂
