I have cornerstone for razors
They give you a free handle with the first one with a blade protector 6 blades and the handle is engraved with your initials. It’s then £14 for 6 blades how ever often you want them. About the same price as buying Guillete etc.
They are very good blades too, mine lasts me a couple of months of shaving 3/4 times a week. Plus they all come in very nice packaging.
They’ve branched out into face wash and moisturiser, etc but none I’ve used are worth the money for me as I don’t wash my face with soap and use a prescribed moisturiser
The economist every week, £12 for 12 weeks then £45 a quarter which is £1 less per week than what I usually spend to buy it and it arrives in time for my Saturday morning cofeee
In the past I had pants from one but the quality was naff so just go to M&S now
Another is amazon subscribe and save, which I check each month to make sure it’s still cheapest. Use it for 3 or more bulk things and get 5/10/15% off
I get toilet rolls, tooth brush heads, dishwasher tablets and kumbucha on it at different intervals from a month to 6 months. Tends to be cheaper than M&S and saves me going to Tesco just in case they have a deal on dishwasher tablets etc
My sister does flea pills for her dog on it, about the same price as buying online but can’t forget then.
Had friends that do it for beers and gin but never saw the point as it’s much more expensive and I can’t stand flavoured gins or beers.
I also tried graze which was decent for the intro trial but you can usally get the boxes for £1 in a shop now so it’s more expensive and I tend to get one when I stop for a coffee instead

Up until very recently I subscribed to OddBalls underwear and socks for the Mrs and I. I cancelled as I got fed up with messed up orders and a sudden rapid decline in quality. I’d been a monthly customer for several years as well - I even popped to the head office as it’s near me and spoke with the staff and management (owner was on leave) and they seriously didn’t give a f
k.
I used to subscribe to WaxyBox (And did so for a few years, every month) and loved it - I was gutted when they scrapped the subs model for a regular shop front.
I also have had a few PetrolBox subs but the quality is very mixed for the price.
Done a few razor subs but always end up with too many blades and then replacement handles are comically expensive.

Petrolicious has seriously well produced films and articles on cars, bike and racing. Got hooked on the Peking to Paris series in lockdown and am now watching everything else. 50% off at the moment.

The Spice House has incredible spices from around the world. You have to try to see the difference, especially some of the blends. The recipes are pretty good too.

I subscribe to Bespoke Post to their monthly box. Most of the time really good things, I just skip the boxes that are not much use to me.
They also have good sales on most of the time. No idea if they ship to the UK (I am in NYC)...

Craft Gin Club i've subscribed to again 4 x boxes over a year.
Majestic wine every quarter.
Would be interested to hear of alternatives.
Just had my first box from Craft Gin Club and not overly impressed. The gin was fairly bland and not one I'd buy again, snacks can all be bought from Ocado (except the biscotti but they're nothing special). Not decided whether to give them another month or not. I suspect not.Majestic wine every quarter.

For wine we use either The Wine Society or Laithwaites though neither on a subscription just choose what we want in the case when it's needed.
I had the Beer52 subscription for a year as a present a while ago, not bad for value but a lot of the beers are hard to tell the difference with past the can and even after changing my preferences it didn't really change what turned up in the box. Haven't bothered subscribing again once it ran out.

Be interested to know which one that was. I have enjoyed the last two months and the Monaco gin particularly.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
