The Best Men’s Grooming Gear of the Year is Coming. Are You Ready?

Trust us when we say that you do not have enough skin, hair, beard, or body to test all the latest men’s grooming product on the market. Now a multi-billion dollar yearly industry, men’s grooming has gone the route of the women’s market and amped up its offerings 10-fold. How can one man try 50 shaving creams or 40 moisturizers?

He can’t.

We’ve got enough skin and hair to try every lotion, potion, and pomade out there. And we did.

Last year, we brought you 20 of the best men’s grooming products, from razors to shampoo and everything in between.

This year, we solicited product samples from dozens of men’s grooming brands (large and small) and spent two and a half months testing each and everyone out on ourselves — over 100 in all. We graded each product in a variety of fields, including effectiveness, ease of use, price, fragrance, and ingredients.

Some products were great but too expensive for a normal guy to afford; others were inexpensive and terrible; still others were inexpensive and worked wonders. When it came down to choosing the winners, we gave price and effectiveness more weight during final consideration. In the end, we came to what we believed to be generally agreed upon winners in categories ranging from sunscreen to conditioner to eye cream.

The result?

Eighteen great men’s grooming products you can, but definitely shouldn’t live without.

Interested?

Come back on Tuesday, March 26 when The Manual Grooming Awards 2019 make their official debut to not only get the scoop on the best of the best but also to enter for your chance to win each and every single recommended product.

Until then, stay handsome.

Smell your best with these great fragrances

You only get one chance to make a great first impression. That is why we dress nicely. That is why we groom ourselves expertly. And that is why you need to have a great cologne. You never know who you are going to meet, and you don't want to be caught in anything other than your best. You may be forgiven if your hair is a little long when you are on the trail. You may be forgiven for having a five o'clock shadow on Saturday afternoon. And you may not be punished for wearing jeans and a T-shirt at the movie theater. However, you will always be judged for not smelling good. That is why you need to invest in the best men's colognes.

Having a pleasant fragrance is more than smelling pleasant for those around you. It also attracts people to you and shows that you care about your hygiene. People will respond better and remember you fondly if your smell lingers. It is the most powerful scent tied to memory, so make sure you are remembered in 2024 with these top picks for colognes for men. We didn't go with all the big boys in the men's cologne industry. You will see one name that nearly everyone knows. But, we stuck more with the ones that you all should know. There is no Dior, no Polo, and no Gucci on this list. We didn't go for names. We went for quality fragrances and picks that will keep you remembered long after you leave.

We have all seen a good Western movie. The rugged cowboy lives and navigates the plains with toughness and the essence of manliness.
