Best Shaving Products
Best Beard Oil
The Man Brand Business as Usual Beard Oil
Growing a long beard is no easy feat. Keep it conditioned, shiny, and healthy with a beard oil that smells as good as it works with this rosehip, avocado, and sunflower oil trifecta that mimics the face’s natural oils to maintain 24-hour thickness and smoothness.
Best Razor
Gillette Fusion5
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, which is precisely the case for this Gillette razor that has been a bestseller since 2006. Touting a super-sharp blade with a lubricating strip, the shaving tool slides across the face’s curves and contours with ease while keeping skin smooth and void of unwanted bumps and burns.
Best Shaving Cream
SeneGence Shave Cream
When it comes to achieving the perfect shave, this cream does it all: soothes skin, glides flawlessly, prevents irritation, and, best of all, moisturizes. It also only requires a dime or quarter-sized amount for a full face, so don’t feel too guilty about the splurge, especially for something you’ll likely use on a daily basis.
Best Body Shave Cream
Fur Shave Cream
Your face isn’t the only part of your body prone to razor burn. In fact, sensitive areas such as the groin, armpits, and rear end can easily get bumps and redness due to shaving. Prevent the unfortunate and inevitable with ironically-named Fur’s shave cream with aloe, coconut, and olive oil. Lather a dollop onto wet skin, shave, and rinse — it’s that simple.
Best Shave Butter
Van Der Hagen Shave Butter
Shave butters can be polarizing due to the thick formula that‘s capable of clogging most standard razor blades, but never fear: Van Der Hagen is the exception, with a soap-free iteration that never leaves behind the mess of foam or residue. Any butter left behind can also be rubbed into the skin to double as an all-day moisturizer.
Best Shave Gel
NIVEA MEN Sensitive Shaving Gel
Frankly, every gent should look for a sensitive gel to offset the potentially damaging effects of shaving. NIVEA MEN is a leader in this category with an aloe- and chamomile-based formula that instantly protects skin from the five signs of irritation: burning, redness, dryness, tightness, and micro cuts.
Best Beard Conditioner
Levi Fisher Smooth Operator Beard Conditioning and Detangling Lotion
Give guys even bigger beard envy with your smoothest and most luscious facial hair yet. The Levi Fisher Smooth Operator Lotion controls any and all flyaways while reducing the inevitable itchiness that comes with rocking your most impressive home-grown accessory.
Best In-Grown Hair Treatment
Jack Black Bump Fix
Razor bumps? We don’t know them, at least while using Jack Black’s uber-popular Bump Fix that was developed to eliminate acne, redness, and in-grown hairs. Salicylic acid dissolves the top layer of dead skin while lactic and hyaluronic acids moisturize and soothe for a fresh-shaved mug that feels as good as it looks.
Best Beard Trimmer
Bevel Pro
Whether you prefer a close shave, stubble, or tidy trim, the Bevel Pro does it all with barber-style blade attachments and a four-hour battery life. Its ergonomic design is also, dare we say, both sleek and sexy and something you’ll actually want to display on a bathroom counter instead of hidden in a drawer or in its case.
Best Body Trimmer
Philips Norelco All-in-One Trimmer
Coarse body hair doesn’t stand a chance against the Philips Norelco All-in-One Trimmer. Featuring 21 tools and accessories, it’s ideal for the dude who prefers a bare and smooth look to show off his bulging muscles. (Or the guy who likes to leave a little fuzz behind while ensuring that it doesn’t get unruly.)
Best Precision Trimmer
Dollar Shave Club Precision Trimmer
Nose and ear hairs have met their match with this handy gadget that trims seamlessly and painlessly. It also doubles as a detailer for brows, sideburns, cheeks, and the neckline to manage rogue strands and keep your beard looking controlled and contoured.
Best Body Hair Removal Device
uLike X IPL Hair Removal Device
Whether you’re a swimmer or bodybuilder or simply prefer your body to be hairless, this hair removal device from uLike is a proven industry leader. It was designed specifically with men in mind, so users can expect approximately 94% hair reduction in only two weeks and without the need for constant maintenance. It’s also FDA-approved and practically painless, which is a far cry from the torture experienced during most waxing sessions.
Best Head Shaver
The Cut Buddy Bald Buddy
We didn’t forget about our bald buddies when it comes to tightening up the hair on your head. The Cut Buddy Bald Buddy wet and dry trims hair quickly and evenly to rock a year-round buzz-cut or to clean up the patches of hair that remain. Built to last for literal decades, this is also one of the strongest shavers on the market with a staggering 9,000 RPM to ensure that every strand in its path doesn’t stand a chance.
