Grooming for the Perfect Valentine's Day
-
Beard Care
Best Bet: Jack Black Beard Lube
If you're looking to remove your woodsman's beard without the nasty red marks typically caused by a clean shave, look no further than Jack Black Beard Lube. This stuff will turn even the toughest of beards silky smooth, meaning you can chop that beast off without any irritation. It also acts as a skin conditioner, too.
Price: From $17.00
-
Fragrance
Best Bet: Bleu de Chanel
The best cologne is always the most subtle cologne, and Bleu de Chanel has subtlety in spades. Its woody scent is still immediately distinguishable from other colognes on the market, without it being too overpowering. This means that when you lean in to greet your Valentine's date with a kiss on the cheek, she'll be enticed by your scent without choking to death on any pungent fumes.
Price: From $68.00
-
Hair Care
Best Bet: American Crew Pomade
The "slick" is back in, and they don't come much slicker than American Crew's brand of Pomade. This stuff will turn your barnet into a sleek pompadour or, to put it in layman's terms, will lead to you looking like an extra from Mad Men, only without all the troubling sexism.
-
Shaving/Trimming
Best Bet: Gillette Proglide Styler
Yes, the embarrassing commercials featuring Andre 3000 and Adrien Brody are a little off-putting, but the Gillette Proglide Styler is arguably the best shaver/trimmer you're going to get at a very reasonable price point. Whether you're looking to shave, trim or edge your facial hair, the Proglide Styler's 5 head options will have you covered.
Price: Around $20
-
The Morning After
Best Bet: Tigi Bed Head Wax Stick
If your Valentine's Day carries over into the next morning (nudge nudge, wink wink) then the Tigi Bed Head Wax Stick is the easiest thing to apply to your scruffed-up head next to a beanie hat. This wax stick, which helpfully conditions your hair, too, can be applied to all hairstyles for a swift and simple style. It's not as greasy as other wax sticks, and can be carried around in your pocket.
Price: Around $15.00
