Manscaping Products Made Easy :: Hot Items to Help You Look and Feel Your Best
Scott Holland READ TIME: 4 MIN.
Growing up I remember my dad's grooming ritual was shaving and then putting on after shave and on special occasions some cologne. Boy, have the times changed and now the amount of grooming products men use are catching up to women's.
The number of grooming products available for all your shaving, skin, hair, and beard care needs is increasing dramatically on a yearly basis. In the past three years, men's grooming has seen an over 70 percent global growth, and product sales are nearly 5 billion in the US alone. Although this can be seen as a good thing, the choices you have for each item can drive anyone crazy. Therefore I have listed 14 of my favorite products to help guide your choices.
OM4 Shave: Soothing Herbal Shave Emulsion

Coltsfoot, Cactus and Prickly Ash are micro-blended into a protective, soothing shaving cream. Peppermint and Lavender invigorate the senses, while stoneroot and comfrey immediately soothe razor burn and heal skin irritation. Full Size - 5 oz. - $28.

This simple stick gives you the most precise shave, letting you glide over those pesky nooks and crannies that multi-blade razors nick-we're talking the jawline and upper lip areas.

You did see that I said I had thinning hair right? When it comes to a hair loss treatment for men, there's nothing quite like Men's Rogaine Unscented Foam.
