20 Grooming Gifts For Men in 2018

Not every guy with facial hair wants to look like Grizzly Adams. Some have to work within constraints imposed by their employers while others just like the look and feel of a well-manicured beard. But keeping a beard under control has typically been a daunting task; until now. In the world of beard trimmers the Philips Norelco OneBlade stands alone. It allows you to stay ahead of your facial hair and do so in just a few minutes a few times a week.

The OneBlade shaver lets you select exactly the length you want for your beard and the trimmer component enables you to clean up around the edges without skipping a beat. The OneBlade uses an environmentally friendly rechargeable NimH battery that provides 45 minutes of power and is completely water resistant so you can shave in the shower or with your favorite foam. Cleanup is just a matter of running it under the faucet for a few moments. In the pantheon of grooming gifts for men this is our near-unanimous Best Choice.

Proraso is legendary. Not only for their longevity but because they continue to produce high quality items at a time when many companies are compromising in an attempt to increase profits. This mens toiletries gift set is as handsome as it is practical. It includes the company’s signature pre-shave, shave and post-shave products all of which utilize oatmeal and green tea in order to soothe and protect easily irritated skin.

Even if the recipient of your gift has never heard of Proraso before they’ll be lifelong fans by the time they’re halfway through the items in this gift pack. The shaving soap produces a rich, thick lather with little effort, protects sensitive skin from the ravages of the razor and leaves your guy smelling like he just walked out of a barber shop in Little Italy in 1952. It might be too much retro awesomeness for your guy to process at first. But that’s okay. He’ll come around.

There’s soap and then there’s Turbo Body Bar Scrubbing Soap. This is more than just a way to remove dirt from your skin. This is how you cleanse and rejuvenate in one fell swoop so that when you emerge from the shower you feel not only thoroughly clean but re-energized and ready to face the day. Turbo Body Bar uses fine pumice stone to gently polish the skin while removing the dead skin cells that can give a worn, dry appearance.

While standard soap might make a man feel as though they’ve removed whatever dirt and grime were accruing on their skin it nonetheless makes the skin feel dried out and rough. Not Turbo Body Bar. The natural blue lotus and ginkgo biloba along with shea butter and moisturizing murumuru conspire to leave behind a fresh, revitalized feeling. The lucky guy you gift with Turbo Scrubbing Soap will never look at showering the same way again.

Protecting the skin from free radicals and enhancing its texture and volume is just one of the reasons people love this finishing moisturizer. It also works to reduce pore size which helps even out skin tone. And its Vitamin C Ester restores the kind of youthful glow that is often one of the first victims of prolonged exposure to nature’s wrath. This face moisturizer isn’t cheap. But your guy is going to look and feel great. 30-day money back guarantee if not completely satisfied.

Mont Blanc, maker of iconic writing instruments, enlisted the help of the legendary Olivier Pescheux to help them fashion this eau de toilette. They wanted a fragrance worthy of both their exalted reputation and that of the mountain from which they derive their name. Pescheux delivered with a manly composition that feeds off of jasmine and sandalwood base notes complemented by lively citrus and bergamot heart.

Mont Blanc Legend provides a clean confident air with contrasting aromatics that build to a subdued, mildly earthy crescendo. It’s not the type of scent that is going to overpower. Instead, Legend is a subtle yet confident statement of masculinity right in keeping with the company’s history and world-renowned product line. With Mont Blanc Legend Eau de Toilette the guy in question will make an impression that lingers rather than one that overpowers. A scent for the confident man.

Rich in important vitamins as well as glycerin and silicone DDF addresses the cause of dry, damaged skin while producing a healthy glow that lasts throughout the day. Sounds a bit esoteric for most guys and they’ll probably tell you as much; until they try it. Then they’ll be quietly asking you where you got it.

DDF Wrinkle Resist Plus is serious therapy for tired weather-worn skin. It soothes and protects, treats and revitalizes and leaves behind healthier skin than when you started. It reduces the size of pores, smoothes them over and gives the underlying layers plenty to feast on.

This body wash is applied beforehand and then rinsed off to leave behind skin that is noticeably cool to the touch. Fresh and lively it provides a nice boost that helps you face the day wide-eyed and ready to go.

This is an old-school type of men’s grooming product. It’s overt in its manliness yet because of its well-balanced ingredient list it isn’t going to overpower.

Okay, admittedly if you’re going to give someone deodorant as a gift it has to be someone you know well and who trusts you as much as you trust them to accept it in the spirit in which it is given. Nobody wants to be told they smell and that’s the message your guy is going to get if you present him deodorant. So you’ll need to change the narrative, pronto. It’s not about them smelling bad. It’s about you being concerned that they always feel fresh out of the shower and how the Dove Men+Care Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick can help them achieve that feeling.

The beard is back. But not just any old collection of facial hair will do these days. The truly modern man aspires to something neater, cleaner and more appealing than just a crude expression of testosterone. Mountaineer Brand Beard Oil is the preferred beard oil of the enlightened gentleman. The natural oils at work here absorb quickly and effectively and leave your guy’s beard feeling soft and full bodied.

There are no artificial scents as work here. Everything is straight from nature. Mountaineer uses a combination of clove, grapefruit and blood orange to produce a firm yet accommodating scent that will both please and intrigue. It’s strictly masculine without being in your face and it lets you put the finishing touch on the perfect beard.

Soap is soap right? Wrong! Most soap will help remove dirt but in the process typically dries out the skin and leaves behind a film that can cause a rash of problems from clogged pores to dermatitis. It’s time to show your man you care about his health by gifting him with soap that won’t bombard him with artificial extenders, odors and texture enhancers. It’s time for Duke Cannon Men’s Bar Soap.

This “Big Ass” Brick of soap (their words) tips the scale at an impressive 10 ounces and will last several times longer than any mainstream mens soap product currently on the market. The source of inspiration for this man-sized brick of soap (don’t you dare call it a “cake”) was the soap issued to US troops during the Korean War. And that’s right in keeping with the Duke Cannon MO of acknowledging our veterans at every turn. In fact, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this Men’s Bar Soap goes to support Veteran causes.

There are a surprising number of men’s grooming tools on the market today but none so simply effective as the AXE Detailer Shower Tool. Just as the name says it’s designed to help a man cross his “T”s and dot his “i”s while in the shower so they don’t feel like they’re only partly clean when they emerge. It strips away dead skin cells and stimulates the growth of new healthy cells. It also helps restore a vibrant sheen and prevents the development of blackheads and blemishes.

This is a great dual-action tool that will let your guy prepare his skin for washing and then clean it like there’s no tomorrow. The ergonomic design of the tool makes it easy to hold no matter how wet, soapy or tired he may be or what type of contortions he’s going through to reach the middle of his back. This is an affordable stocking stuffer he’s going to appreciate every morning at shower time.

Give your guy the gift of high quality cordless grooming with the Remington PG6025 All-in-1 Grooming Kit.

The full-sized trimmer is nimble and easy to get a solid grip on from any angle. It lets a man reach every corner of his face and neck and bring its high functionality to bear on the task of making them look and feel their best. Each charge of the lithium-ion battery will provide more than an hour of performance and the surgical steel cutting blades slice through whiskers like a hot knife through butter. No more blotchy red skin after grooming. With the Remington All-in-1 Grooming kit there’s only healthy skin, hair and beard and nice clean lines all around. Compatible with any 120 volt system.

Duke Cannon is back again with their Men’s Solid Cologne. And just like their other fine grooming products for men this one is a practical winner. It’s also socially responsible in that it’s comprised of high quality organic materials and a portion of all Duke Cannon profits are donated to causes that promote the well-being of Veterans. Duke Cannon products are also certified cruelty-free and never tested on animals for any reason.

Each 1.5 oz bar lasts a long time and won’t lose its punch even when exposed to the air. The manly scent suggests the Redwood forests of the Pacific while hints of citrus, rosemary and clove complement each other and provide balance and nuance. Store the travel tin in your carry-on bag, backpack, mens beard grooming kit or briefcase and always have it handy for any occasion. There’s no shame in smelling good. The shame is in thinking you have to spend a fortune and carry around a glass bottle to do so.

We end our list of best grooming gifts for men with the Oral-B 7000. The 7000 SmartSeries Rechargeable toothbrush is a portable workhorse men will want to take on business trips or vacation along with the Duke Cannon Solid Cologne. That way they’ll always look and smell their best. While an electric toothbrush might seem like an odd gift it’s actually the kind of present your guy will thank you for down the line because it will make their life easier, their smile sharper and their teeth healthier.

The Oral-B 7000 is an indispensable component of proper tooth and gum care and comes with a rechargeable battery, a cross action head, a head specifically to enhance whiteness, a charging station, storage and more. It’s also the first of its kind to feature Bluetooth connectivity to your smartphone. Why would you need that? So it can connect to the Oral-B app and provide feedback on the efficacy of your man’s brushing habits, of course. Also features a warning light if too much pressure is being applied and half a dozen modes to ensure your man gets the proper brush for his teeth and gums.
