Birchbox Man February 2013

[Rynnegade]

We're thinking of canceling after this month.  My husband says he's still riding high on the knit tie.  But doesn't any man who would use a pocket square and a shoe horn already have a pocket square and a shoe horn?  My h used to work at Nordy's in menswear and he wears a suit daily for our business now but he isn't really into either one.

You can get a shoehorn with any nice pair of shoes. And a pocket square custom to match a really nice tie. I just dont see the value this month.

I had all this stuff to say, and Katie Danielle basically took all the words right out of my mouth!  Right down to the "this is as bad as that wool wallet!"  My thoughts exactly.  My hubby also liked the Tee Shirt, the odd socks (which I thought he'd hate, but now they're his favorite pair), the tie, and the boxers.  But all of the other lifestyle products he has hated.  I'm gonna cancel BB Man and check out hiskit.

For those ladies switching or thinking of doing so, I wanted to mention another men's subscription that I've heard mentioned - Urban Cargo.  I haven't tried it, but a lady on another thread said that out of 4 months, two boxes were shaving-themed and the other two had things like eye creams, face care, etc.  Here's a link to the thread: https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/130136/what-new-subs-have-you-learned-about-inquiring-minds-want-to-know/90#post_1973802
