We’re sure many of you have an idea for the perfect grooming product in your head, but for some reason, it’s just impossible to find. That’s what happened with the guys over at Detroit Grooming Co. The product line “for a man of the times” started with a search for “a superior product.” “With an eye on the environment, we promise to bring you the best available ingredients without further endangering rare flora or fauna, all the while giving a man what he deserves, a superb product,” reads its website.

Not sure what to buy out of all of Detroit Grooming Co.’s creams, washes, waxes, butters and pomades? Want to try before you buy? We recommend picking up the Kitchen Sink Grooming Kit. It comes with small sizes of a number of the Michigan Company’s products, including the pomade, beard butter, moustache wax, tea tree shampoo and body wash, lavender shampoo and body wash, peppermint shampoo and body wash, Corktown grooming oil, Downtown grooming oil, Mackinac grooming oil, Orchard Lake grooming oil and Cedar Springs grooming oil. Plus, it also comes with a stainless steel credit card comb and bottle opener. Once you get the kit, you can experiment and see which products you like the best. Have a business trip or wedding to travel to? Fill your toiletries kit with something from the kitchen sink.

Electric shaver vs. razor: Which is better for your face?

An answer to the age old question of which shave method is better

Whether you are the kind of guy who likes to rock the clean shaven look while you conquer Wall Street in a suit, or you are the kind of guy that likes to sport the long and thick mane of a beard while you work outdoors, you have to shave your face. Shaving all over or simply shaping your beard means you are involved in the age-old question of electric shaver vs razor. Of course, which you choose has a lot to do with your lifestyle.

Just like trying to decide what the best shoes are for you, or electing to dive into what the best suits are for you, it all comes down to the kind of lifestyle you lead. If you are an outdoorsman, you have very specific needs for your shave routine. It needs to be fast and portable. If you are a man with a love of luxury, then you may love to take your time with a solid routine. That may even be the kind of self-care you need to center yourself in the morning.

Dr. Squatch just launched their first-ever body wash — here’s what it’s like

Dr. Squatch might be famous for their bar soaps, but their new shower gel is perfect for anyone who prefers a body wash.

Most guys probably already know the brand Dr. Squatch. If you go to the men’s aisle you’ll see their deodorants, face washes, and most notably, their bar soaps, which are famous for having tie-ins with big franchises like Star Wars, Harry Potter, and the MCU. Surprisingly, one thing Dr. Squatch didn’t have until now is a shower gel. Their new body wash collection launched on September 13 and comes in four scents: Coconut Castaway, Fresh Falls, Pine Tar, and Wood Barrel Bourbon.

The Manual was able to try out one of their shower gels before its launch, and after showering with their wood barrel bourbon body wash for over a week now, here are my thoughts.
