In the days of reduce, reuse, recycle, it has never been easier to do your bit and minimise the impact of everyday tasks such as shaving. A job that was once inconvenient, costly and plastic-filled has been re-imagined with these points in mind. Shaving subscription services now deliver fairly priced quality shavings products to your door as and when they are needed.

The benefits of a shaving subscription? Receive the razor of your dreams (it's out there!) and all the blades, pre-shave balms and aftershave you could ever need right to your door at an interval that suits you. To help you on your way some brands offer free shaving subscription trials or money off intro kits. Here are some of the UK's best men's razor subscription services.

This grassroots company started from day one with public backing and, with that in mind, they want to keep customer happiness at the forefront of their service. A Cornerstone subscription is possibly the most personal subscription out there, with choices to be made on all aspects of the service. Sign up and save £10 on your first delivery which features a personalised chrome razor handle, six German-engineered razor blades and additional skincare products.
