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?

Ben, Walt, the Chief Blonde (Shelley) and Kelly went to a family music JAM this weekend

Congrats to your son! I had no idea they offered this! How cool.
I love this service! It’s such a great idea for all the busy dudes in our lives!
My Husband does razor subscription thing now. It’s good to have better razors and subscriptions are fun to do.
Gillette is a great product. My husband love his ProGlides.
Love this program. Going to be sharing it with our nephew who is off to College this year.
That is one packed schedule. I can definitely see where a subscription box would help!
These are the best kind of razors, I may have to show this subscription to my husband.
I love the clean shaven look! Well done!
What a brilliant idea! I need this for my husband!
I really like the idea of the subscription service. It’s great for kids at college who can’t get to the store often.
We are all Gillette here in our house! I hate spending money on the refills too! They ARE expensive!
Pretty sure my brother uses Gillette razors. He would probably appreciate them arriving at his dorm room so he wouldn’t have to go to Walmart!
This is so handy – no wasted time picking up razors!
The end result is fabulous! You can’t tell the poor thing gets no sleep with that hectic schedule.
You really are the proud momma in that picture from his White Coat Ceremony!
His schedule is so demanding I bet he is really happy to save any amount of time possible in his daily routine. SO great that a razor company can offer that to him.
Your family is so beautiful and I can see why you are proud of that son!
My husband uses Gillette razors, so I’m definitely going to look into this. I like the idea of never having to remember to buy razors again.
I love this subscription idea. My husband is a shaver, and this subscription will definitely save time and money.
Can’t go wrong with Gillette most men use it because they find them to be reliable.
This is a fun and much needed subscription service for guys! My 19 year old will love getting this fun mail to break up the pain if his newly acquired adult bills. He uses Gillette too!
