The Target Beauty Box is available just about every season, and is not an ongoing subscription. For the Summer box, Target created a men's version for Father's Day. You can read the review of the women's box here. I got this box because I was happy that they created a men's version, which doesn't happen often.

Product: Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor
Retail Value: $9.39 (Full Size)
We actually just purchased the same Gillette razor for my husband recently. After trying it out, he thought it works really well and just as advertised. It is easy to maneuver, doesn't pull hair, and provides a smooth shave. Even though it has five blades and a moisturizing strip, the cartridge is still thin enough to move around easily. I would've waited had I known Target Beauty Box would include this specific razor since the entire box cost less than the razor's retail price.
Product: Axe Styling Spiked Up Extra Hold Gel (0.65 oz)
Retail Value: $0.68
This gel will probably be used for regular styling since my husband doesn't do the spiked up look much.
Product: Axe Styling Messy Look Gel (0.65 oz)
Retail Value: $0.76
My husband tried this gel for a family party. The overall performance is average. It doesn't hold the hair well unless you use a lot. It only lasted for a short time before his hair returned to its normal state.
Product: Dove Men + Care Oxygen Charge Shampoo (1.8 fl oz)
Retail Value: $0.42
The fragrance of this shampoo is pleasant and smells better than other men's shampoos I've sampled. It works just as well as any other shampoos, but I like the scent.
Product: Orabrush Tongue Cleaner
Retail Value: $4.49 (Full Size)
The tongue cleaner is a pretty useful item to have. I normally use my toothbrush to brush my tongue, but don't mind using an actual tongue brush.

Final Thoughts: Most of the value of this box comes from the Gillette razor. I guess I didn't need to buy this box since my husband just bought the same razor. However, for $5 and free shipping, it doesn't hurt to have a backup. Compared to the women's beauty boxes, the value of this box isn't actually that high. Personally, I think it was just nice to get a men's box for a change.
