Generally when people discuss beauty, the conversation is centred around women. Your average guy doesn’t really talk about his daily grooming routines, products he uses, or anything of that nature. As time goes on I’ve been noticing a bit more attention to the gents side of things and figured I would share some of the products i use and essentials I believe should be in every guys bathroom.

FACE

With the evolution of technology and ease of use for most products, some traditions are being lost over time. Mainly the straight shave! I know it looks intimidating wielding a sharp blade essentially to groom your facial hair. But let me tell you, it’s the best shave you will ever have!  Don’t know where to start?


This is all you need to get started, no need to get crazy with non replaceable units, although they look great they may not be as practical to start off with. The Equinox Professional Barber Straight Edge Razor is all you will need to get that amazingly close shave. Just don’t forget to add a shaving brush and soap to get it all done right!

 

HEAD

Hair is so important, and usually overlooked by guys, using whatever is available in the shower usually  products left there by their significant other (totally guilty of this lol). There are some dope products out there that will keep your hair clean and smelling fresh too. Not to mention styling product that won’t make your hair crazy greasy and will hold whatever style your go for.

 

K+S makes some good shampoo, don’t settle for regular clean hair, get that salon feel. They formulate their product for all kinds of hair and scalp conditions. So for an all around product I would recommend this set. It’s not CRAZY expensive, but think about how often do you really buy shampoo and conditioner? Well worth spending some $$ to look and feel good.

 

 

 

 

Hair product is crazy important for you gents! depending on your style of hair, there are products available to keep it healthy while still looking good. Personally I try to stay away from waxes and anything that repels water, mostly because it sucks to wash out sometimes. Which is why I’ve gone with paste and putty type styling products, they give me the hold i need to achieve my desired look. and they aren’t overly heavy or difficult to wash out.

 

 

 

 

An absolute must in any guys bathroom! A grooming kit for those touch ups between, salon/barber visits. If you want the well kept beard look or the constant 5 o’clock shadow. For those who like to ensure their under arms, chest, and other areas are nicely manscaped. ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL

 

 

SKIN

I don’t know about you but after I get out of the shower I NEED to moisturize, my hands and face for the most part. I hate moisturizer that is oily and doesn’t get absorbed by my skin within 5 min. To be honest I only use one product for all my moisturizing needs.

 

L’occitane Shea butter hand cream is all I use…..it’s like Franks Red Hot….but for my skin. I PUT THAT S**T ON EVERYTHING!

It’s does it’s job very well, and you won’t be having a hard time picking stuff up due to greasy hands right after. This is probably on of my favourite products on this list. Go out and spend the money to get it, you’ll thank me later.

 

 

 

So thats a short list of products that you’ll find in my bathroom. You can find all these products on Amazon.ca and they will be shipped to your front door, no need to go to the store and have a scavenger hunt for anything anymore!

what are your favourite products and rituals?
