The grooming industry is vast and complex. So complex that it can be practically impossible to determine what exactly you need to purchase and use from what’s actually just a money-making scheme for brands all over the world. Try as they might, there’s no way you should be buying into anyone’s marketing message when they tell you that you need to be putting snail juice all over your face everyday for the rest of your life. You need a simple, non-complicated selection of products (excluding the obvious shower gel, deodorant or toothpaste), products that will actually serve you, that are worth your time and will do your skin good. Here, gentlemen, is your definitive list:
The right razor
This clearly isn’t rocket science but there are a fair share of gentlemen out there who tend to gravitate towards the cheapest razor on the market. While this might make the most sense for your bank balance, it’s a sure-fire way to guarantee a hefty rash in an attempt for a clean shaven face. And you won’t even get that – a cheap razor won’t ever get the whole way to the follicle, so you’ll just end up having to shave again and again and again, never quite achieving perfection. Instead, invest in something that’s going to last you a long time, something that you know is going to do the job exactly the way it’s supposed to: something like this wonderful D R Harris three-piece safety razor.
