Words: Charlie Thomas
The modern-day gentleman should be well versed in a manner of daily rituals, but none is more important than grooming. It’s no use getting dressed up to the nines if your face and hair are looking worse for wear, so it’s worth investing in products that will keep you looking tip-top. Here are 5 grooming accessories every gentleman should own…
FLORIS SHAVING SET
Depending on your personal preference, there is no grooming accessory more vital than a razor or an electric shaver. For the former, this gold-plated Floris one comes complete with a matching badger brush for the ultimate in shaving opulence.
