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.

August's theme was "A Method to you Madness" and sought to bring you a little organization to your daily routine.
As always, you'll receive an information card. Here, you'll find information about each item including the full-size retail price. Don't worry, I'll do the math for you to break each one down.
Tooletries Mini Koby Bag in Charcoal - Value $17.99
Each month, Birchbox Man allows you to select one lifestyle item for your upcoming box. This month, I went for something a little different than I usually would - I went for the mini dopp kit!
It's fully made of rubber - so any accidents or water is not a problem for this dopp bag. If something breaks inside, it's totally leak-resistant, so it'll keep that terrible mess inside, at least.
There's more than enough room to carry this month's samples and a lot more.
COOLA SPF 50 Sport in Fresh Mango - Value $2.18 (based on full-size price)
I haven't received too many sunblocks in Birchbox Man - and this one arrived just in time to finish out summer.
This goes on sheer - and has the most intense and pleasant mango smell ever. It's strong - so if you hate mangos, you should give this one away.
Marlowe No. 122 men's Facial Scrub - Value $0.75 (based on full-size price)
I got a half-ounce sample of the Marlowe No. 122 facial scrub.
It's paraben and phthalate free and works in a combination of Passionflower Fruit, Green Tea, Willow Bark, and Deep Sea Algae extracts to scrub away dead skin cells and moisturizer while it's at it. It comes with more of a floral scent - but nothing too strong.
Baxter of California Super Shape Skin Recharge Cream - Value $3.60 (based on full-size price)
The highest value sample is this skin recharge cream.
This moisturizes very nicely and is relatively scentless - perfect for a little pick-me-up for your face in the morning.
Original Penguins Premium Blend - Value $0.97 (based on full-size price)
I'm not a cologne guy, but this one seems like one I'll keep around in case I need it.
It's got a citrus/floral scent rolled into one - I was ready to hate it, but it's really not too bad.
Verdict: You're getting around $25-26 in value this month - which is pretty decent for the $20 price tag. Overall, I've enjoyed trying a bunch of different products while also guaranteeing my one big-ticket item, so the fact that it hasn't provided crazy value hasn't really stopped me from enjoying this each month.
