Which men's grooming products are worth buying

The men's grooming products worth buying are a good skincare routine, a proper shave, quality brushes and a tidy kit. Skincare and aftershave, shaving and beard care, brushes and razors, and kits for the bathroom shelf are made with men in mind. Buy few and use them daily.

Skincare and aftershave

Skincare and aftershave from Dior, Shiseido and Creed make up the daily routine. A cleanser, moisturizer and aftershave balm are enough. Pick fragrance-free if his skin is sensitive.

A closer shave

Shaving and beard products from Dior, Fulton & Roark and Zwilling Beauty improve the shave. Oil softens a beard. A good brush lathers well.

Brushes and razors

Brushes, combs and razors from La Bonne Brosse, Acqua di Parma and NEW! La Bonne Brosse are tools that last. A boar bristle brush suits most hair. A weighted razor gives a close shave.

Our honest take

A long shelf of products is not a routine. We would skip anything with a miracle claim.

Skin responds to consistency more than to products. Choose a short routine you can keep, patch test anything new and give a product at least a month before judging it. Sun protection is the single habit with the best long-term payoff, and it costs the least. Introduce one new product at a time and give it a month, so you know what is actually working.

If you take one thing away: use a moisturizer with sun protection every morning.
