We can all agree that: Gone are the days when all a man needed to head out was a razor, toothbrush, comb, and some perfume.
Nowadays, things are a bit different – but in a good way. Let’s just say that every man, in this era, knows that personal grooming and looking good is a crucial part of their everyday adventures and making unforgettable first impressions. And to achieve that, one needs the right tools in his arsenal.
And that begs the question:
Which items should every man have in their grooming kit?
Well, that’s what you are here to find out. In this post, I’ll walk you through eight items that every man needs to have in their grooming kit. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the fun bits…
1. A Good Hair Clipper/Trimmer
It goes without saying that your hair (head) is probably the most important part of a man’s look. And that’s why it’s paramount to maintain a stylish haircut at all times. Unfortunately, sometimes you may be forced to cut your own hair.
And when that happens, you need at least one of the best hair clippers on the market today. That way you do a DIY haircut at any time; even when your barber is unavailable or your hair just needs a little touch-up.
2. Hairstyling Products
Still on your hair, other important must-have items are hairstyling products. This includes all the shampoos, gels, pastes, creams, pomades, and waxes men use to maintain awesome hairstyles.
Are they really necessary? Yes! Why? Because these products not only simplify your grooming process but also make you look better.
3. A Good Face Wash
Have you ever wondered why some 50-year-old men look like they’re in their 30s and vice versa? Well, it all boils down to one thing – skincare. Note that your skin isn’t all the same; some parts of it (e.g. your face) are more delicate than other parts (e.g. your hands).
And that’s why you need to use a face wash to clean your face rather than harsher body soaps. Plus, most face wash products are designed to draw dirt and toxins from your skin leaving you with a smooth and pimple-free face.
4. Cologne/Deodorant
It’s not enough to look good, you also have to smell good. The last thing you want is to walk around smelling like a skunk and wondering why all your face to face conversations don’t last past a minute.
The solution? Some good old deodorant. It will leave you smelling fresh and pleasant for hours. And the best part is that you have a very wide pool of quality perfume products to choose from.
5. Moisturizers
Yes, you read that right. The notion that “moisturizers are for women only” got kicked out about a decade or two ago. Nowadays, anyone wanting to maintain a soft and moisturized skin has to use one of these products.
6. A Shaving Kit
If you have a beard/mustache, then a shaving kit must be part of your grooming pack. It not only saves you the time and money you’d spend visiting your local barber but also gives you the much-needed convenience of shaving whenever and wherever you are.
7. Tooth Brush, Toothpaste and Mouthwash
Oral health is also very important. And it’s recommended that you brush your teeth at least twice a day or after every meal. Therefore, having these items in your grooming kit is imperative.
8. A Nail Clipper Set
Last but not least, you need to keep your nails neat and short; hence, the need for a clipper set in your ultimate men’s grooming kit.
