It's got 3 blades plus a moisturizer strip.

Cetaphil Men Daily Face Cloth - 1 Count Sample

As someone with skin on the oily side, these face wipes are always super useful to me. I'm a fan of these face wipes in particular because there isn't a strong scent and it was big enough to have half the wipe for a second use.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash - 1 Count Sample Packet

This is a 5 ml sample packet of Tea Tree Face Wash. Again, as someone with an oily face, I'm always ready to test out face washes from subscription boxes. This has a fresh minty smell that will definitely wake you up - it will pair nicely with the Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner that I've been using from my Bespoke Post Black Box!

Head & Shoulders Dandruff Shampoo, Classic Clean - 1 Travel Size Bottle

This little 1.7 oz bottle is for the shampoo only. It's the classic Head & Shoulders formula, so no real surprises or discoveries here.

AXE Antiperspirant Stick for Men, Phoenix - 1 Travel Size Stick

This stick is .5 ounces of the Phoenix scent. I'm not a big Axe fan - but this is one of the more neutral, fresh, scents.

Colgate Total Advanced Whitening Gel Toothpaste - 1 Travel Size Tube

Finally, the last item is a .75 ounce tube of Colgate toothpaste. It's your standard mint flavor white some whitening.

Verdict: I'm always ready to test new grooming products from a subscription box, and while these are mostly standard brands, I'll still use it all. We just received this, so we're unsure what the credit will be available for (fingers crossed for the Cetaphil face wipes), but I'll definitely be redeeming it - bringing my net cost down to $0!

What did you think of the Amazon Grooming Box? Did you get one?

I got this for an Xmas giveaway so I’m happy you opened yours! I want to keep mine boxed till I decide if I’m going to ship it off elsewhere.
These were such a great deal! Thanks to MSA for the alert or I would have totally missed them.
