From the daily shave to the occasional touch-up, the modern man’s grooming routine goes beyond what a grocery store comb and a splash of cologne can do, all in the name of achieving a look that’s sharp yet natural, smart yet effortlessly so.
Ready to step up your game? We’ve curated the tools that get the job done, from precision razors to boar-bristle brushes, luxurious scalp care and beyond.
THE ELECTRIC SHAVER: Bevel Electric Foil Shaver – For the man who shaves every day (or just about), a quality electric shaver makes all the difference. This electric model by Bevel offers a sleek solution without all the shaving drama, equipped with three flexible blades and auto-sensing tech that adjust to your face and hair density, cutting close without breaking the skin. High-performance, irritation-free and designed with sensitive skin types in mind, it’s dermatologist-tested and suitable for both wet and dry routines.
THE RAZOR: Henson AL13 Razor – In a world of razor option overload, the Henson AL13 keeps it smart and simple. This ultra-light, single-blade razor made from aerospace-grade metal provides an impressively close shave without the usual nicks or razor burn. Smooth and easy to use, even for long-time cartridge users, the one-blade, no-plastic-waste design means it’s not only better for your skin, but also for the planet.
THE TRIMMER: Manscaped The Beard Hedger – If your beard tends to change with your mood, your trimmer should keep up. Manscaped’s best-selling product trades the jumble of plastic attachments for a single toggling wheel that allows you to shift between 20 different lengths in seconds. With a built-in comb that lifts stubborn hairs and a titanium-coated blade that powers through thick growth without tugging, it’s a waterproof, cordless, low-maintenance must-have for quick and precise grooming.
THE LATHER: Proraso Professional Shaving Brush – Your skin deserves more than foam from a can. Consider old-school shaving brushes, which not only look retro-cool but also lift hair, exfoliate skin and make your shaving cream work harder. This professional-level, Italian-made brush with natural boar bristles creates a rich lather for a smoother shave, all while giving your face a gentle pre-shave massage. Pro tip: Soak it overnight in salted water to soften the bristles before the first glide.
THE COMBER: Mason Pearson Comb & Brush – It’s definitely an investment, but Mason Pearson has been perfecting the art of hair tools for centuries, and they surely know their business. This handcrafted, dual-tooth-width comb glides smoothly through fine or thick, wet or dry hair with just the right tension and care for styling, while the boar-and-nylon bristle brush smoothes, detangles, distributes oil and imparts shine in one go. It’s classic craftsmanship for the modern man.
THE TAMER: Kent Wooden Beard Brush – If you’ve got a beard, a proper brush isn’t just nice – it’s necessary. This wooden beard brush, handmade in the UK, mixes soft and firm boar bristles cut at a precise angle that go deep to untangle and tidy your beard while spreading natural or applied oils evenly from root to tip. The result is a fuller, neater beard and healthier skin underneath. Bonus: the ergonomically angled handle is available in a version designed for left-handed gents, too.
THE SCISSORS: Ontaki Beard & Moustache Scissors – Even the sharpest moustache doesn’t shape itself, so superlative scissors are a must. This pair by Ontaki is crafted from premium German steel and fitted with a tension screw for just the right amount of snip. Light in the hand but heavy on precision, the blades glide through stray hairs for a controlled touch-up. The full kit comes with two combs and a snappy leather pouch for easy tidy-up on the go.
THE SCRUBBER: Kamedis Scalp Brush Massager – Even though healthy hair starts at the root, scalp care is often left to the spa crowd. A quick scrub with this scalp massager, however, can do wonders to get you on board, too: it scrubs away dead skin, dirt and product buildup, while improving circulation and nutrient delivery for stronger, healthier hair. Plus, it turns your shampoo routine into a lavish experience. From a fresher scalp to sturdier hair and a bit of self-care, it’s a low-effort, high-impact tool every guy needs.
THE CLIPPERS: Tweezerman Combo Clipper Set – Clean hands and tidy toes require the right tools. This Tweezerman clipper combo features a curved blade for fingernails and a straight one for toes, both designed to cut clean while preventing splits or painful ingrown nails. Made from durable stainless steel, they’re easy to clean and built to last, and make for a no-nonsense duo that every man should keep at their tips.
THE TRAVELLER: Cardon Jet Set Travel Kit – When you spend long hours in the air or on the road, your skin deals with enough – and hotel soap won’t cut it. This limited-edition travel kit keeps things simple with five steps to stay fresh no matter where you land. The non-toxic set, which includes cleanser, SPF, eye treatment, moisturiser and lip balm, is light, compact and TSA-approved – ideal for the man on the move who knows that skincare doesn’t go on vacation, even when he does.
