FAQ – The Personal Barber

FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION:

How can I sign up to The Personal Barber subscription?

Signing up is easy and only takes a moment. Sign up here today! You can choose whether you want to be billed every 6 or 12 weeks.

How does The Personal Barber work?

The Personal Barber is a recurring subscription service that provides you with everything you need to have the best possible shave and to enjoy doing it! Every 6 or 12 weeks we send you a curated selection of essential high quality wet shaving products to keep you looking dapper whilst adding extras you may not have tried before to keep things intriguing.

How much does it cost?

The Personal Barber provides you with the means to have a great and enjoyable shave for only £24.95 per box. We offer a 10% discount on your first box if you sign up for our newsletter.

What do I get in The Personal Barber Subscription Box?

Your first box will include everything you need for a great shave so you can hit the ground running, even if you've never shaved before: a traditional safety razor, shaving brush, shaving soap/cream and replacement blades. On top of this, follow-up boxes feature extra pre and post-shave products you may never have tried before to make your morning routine even more interesting, such as pre-shave oils, balms, alums and more. Each box features completely different items but you will always be stocked with what you need to stay silky smooth. All products are handpicked and tested to make sure you only get the best available. You can find out more of what's inside the box on our blog here.

Can I add items to my upcoming renewal?

Yes! If you login to your account, and head over to "manage subscriptions" you can add extra items to your box to save on postage costs.

Do the products contain allergens?

As the contents of the box changes with each delivery, we can't guarantee it will be allergen-free. However, we do specify the ingredients in each box on our blog page so you can check before you buy. If a box is coming up with an item that you won't be able to make use of, drop us an email and we will try our best to find you a replacement from a previous box, subject to stock.

How does billing work?

Signing up for The Personal Barber means opting into a subscription service that bills you according to your chosen box frequency.

When does The Personal Barber ship boxes?

We aim to send out your box the same day that you place an order (if ordered by 12:00 Midday). The next box in your subscription will be shipped the day after your next renewal (roughly 6 or 12 weeks after your last payment). You will receive a shipping notice when your box ships.

How much does shipping cost?

It's free. For UK subscribers to our recurring subscription boxes, shipping is included as part of the monthly cost, you don't pay anything extra.

However buying individual items from our online shop (not the subscription) has a small delivery fee unless you reach the minimum spend of £60. If you buy an item at the same time as the subscription box, we can combine the two into one package and shipping will be free.

Do you ship to anywhere in the world?

Shipping costs for our subscription boxes cost:
£3 to EU addresses
£7 to the rest of world
Please note that shipping for subscription boxes internationally is different to the cost of shipping individual items in our online shop. This is because we subsidise part of the cost to make it as cheap as possible for our subscribers.

Can I skip a box or cancel my subscription?
