Luxury Grooming Gifts for the Stylish Gentleman
Every discerning gent deserves some luxe self-care products.
Every man needs proper grooming supplies, full stop. From beard balm to oils and conditioners made specifically for men and their varying skin-types, there are a plethora of products for just beards alone. Not to mention men's hair, facial skin, and more.
When you start to consider hair, skin, and body care in totality––even the containers in which the man in your life can keep them for travel or daily use––the options for men's grooming products can get overwhelming. But fear now—we are here to help.
Whether he’s looking for a better shave, natural and organic products, or travel-friendly packaging, any guy will appreciate these luxe products that are at once personal and practical.
A luxe alternative to standard home-delivery razor subscriptions, Jack Black’s shave system comes complete with an exclusive five-blade razor and weighted stainless steel handle for increased comfort and control, two replacement blades, and three award-winning skincare products. The gentle cleanser-toner formula contains certified organic ingredients like rosemary and chamomile to clear bacteria and soothe skin. The shaving creams—either a conditioning, non-foaming lube or a whipped lather that forms a protective cushion beneath the blade—are specially formulated for a bump-free shave, and the vitamin-rich moisturizer protects from UVA and UVB rays.

This serum from Maxellence, a collection by men’s skincare brand Lab Series that employs space technology, contains two formulas—one white and one black—in a dual-chamber system that, when combined, firm and lift skin. The anti-gravity effects are due to the collagen-boosting power of actual meteorite particles extracted from asteroids, which are rich in calcium and magnesium, two ingredients that act as anti-agers by stimulating cell turnover.
