Words: Gentleman's Journal
At Gentleman’s Journal, we like to look sharp. So, as big advocates of proper grooming, there’s no sight more shudder-worthy in our eyes than a disposable plastic razor or tatty old toothbrush.
On the other hand, a bathroom cabinet bursting with fancy elixirs and exotic face creams may be a little much for the average gentleman. We know and accept that – but there’s a middle ground to be reached, and we’re here to help you get there one exfoliator, comb and razor at a time.
You read that right: badger hair. It’s super soft, incredibly durable and holds a lot of water, which makes it perfect for shaving. The bristles in this brush are all expertly set by hand, while the ivory-tone handle perfectly rounds off the general air of luxury.
This razor won’t just give you the closest and cleanest shave, it’ll make you feel like an old-school celebrity in front of the mirror with its vintage, three-piece design. If it had a voice, it’d call you ‘Sir’.
Tame the mane and up your game with this excellent comb, featuring a tortoiseshell acetate body and not one, but two rows of teeth set at different widths.
Badger hair again? Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it – this handcrafted toothbrush from Italy will thoroughly cleanse your mouth, gently massage your gums and make you feel like the suavest teeth-brusher in all the land.
Grooming doesn’t get much more opulent than this. Pankhurst London’s luxurious prep cream, with its thick consistency and bay rum and lime scent, will raise your shave to the next level, and is good for all skin types.
Handmade in Germany, Czech & Speake’s ‘air safe’ manicure set is heavy on innovation: each instrument is coated with dirt-repelling Teflon, and features rounded edges to comply with hand-luggage restrictions when you take it along on your gentlemanly excursions.
Ready to look good? Here’s five common grooming mistakes you should avoid.
