Birchbox Man is a monthly grooming and lifestyle subscription box for men. Each month, you'll receive 3-4 sample size items to try along with another lifestyle item that you can select. The selection process opens about a month before shipping and, typically, allows you to pick 1 of 3 selection items.
Birchbox Man is now split into two options - Birchbox Man Plus and a new $10 version, Birchbox Man - Check out the March 2018 $10 option from Rob's recent review.
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

March 2018 Birchbox Man Plus Review
It looks like they've done away with any type of theme for the monthly delivery. With Birchbox Man Plus, you'll get to choose a lifestyle item and you'll receive 5 samples to go along with it.
It comes with an information card that lists out all of your items along with their full-size values - I'll do my best to break these down based on the product sizes sent!
Surf Club New Wave Beanie - Value $22
Each month, you'll be able to pick a lifestyle item - these are typically valued right at or above the cost of the box! This month, I've gone with the Surf Club beanie since it's still a bit cold out.
It's 100% acrylic and very soft. It was snowing the day I got this, so I put it right to use - while it was nice and soft, it was still very warm.
18.21 Man Made Wash - Value $1.33 based on the full-size price
The first sample I tried was this 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash. It was a bit too much on the cologne smelling side for me to really like, though.
R+Co. Motorcycle Flexible Gel - Value $2.60 based on full-size price
Next, we have a hair gel sample that is one of the highest value samples in the box. I've never been a hair gel type of guy, so I can't speak much to this one other than the scent was minimal, and had that typical hair gel scent.
CW Beggs and Sons Energizing Moisturizer - Value $4.60 based on the full-size price
One of the samples that I really enjoyed was this moisturizer. This is good as an aftershave or just as a daily moisturizer.
PiperWai Natural Deodorant - Value ? ($11.99 for full-size)
There wasn't any ounce listing present on the sample, so it's a toss-up for value. Besides that, this was one of the items I was most looking forward to trying. I haven't had a ton of success with any natural deodorants in the past and while this one worked pretty well, the application was something that I wasn't a fan of.
Faconnable Eau de Toilette - Value ? ($50 full-size)
Lately, the final sample has been a cologne sample. I don't really wear cologne, but I also don't really mind trying it out. Since I'm no cologne connoisseur - they typically fall into two smells - the typical cologne and the more natural/woodsy scents. This one is more towards a typical scent.
Verdict: My samples weren't great this month - a few hit on items that I'd never use. But, the lifestyle item was great and perfectly timed with the weather - and that item alone was valued higher than the cost, so I'm still pretty satisfied this month.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? The March window is still open for a day or two - but the monthly window typically changes around the 12th of the month. But, all sample deliveries vary, so you are not guaranteed the same samples as what you see here.
