Aftershave Lotions and Balms: How to Choose, and What to Buy
Something after the shave does two jobs: it settles the skin and, for many people, leaves a scent they like. The mistake is treating the two kinds the same. A lotion or splash is thin, often built on alcohol, and gives you a bracing, tightening finish and the stronger scent. A balm or gel is…

Beard Bibs for Trimming: Six Hair Catchers Compared
A beard bib is a small, cheap fix for a specific annoyance: the trimmings that scatter over the sink and floor when you tidy your beard. It is an apron that hooks to the bathroom mirror with suction cups, fastens around your neck, and hangs with its pouch over the sink to catch the hair.…

Best Safety Razors for Men: How to Choose One That Lasts
A safety razor is worth switching to if cartridge razors leave you with razor burn, ingrown hairs or a tugging pull, and you are willing to learn a lighter touch. One blade, used at the right angle, cuts close without dragging the skin the way a multi-blade cartridge can. It is the wrong choice if…

Best Foil Shavers: How to Choose One That Suits You
A foil shaver is the right choice if you shave most days, your stubble is short, and you want a close, low-irritation finish without working around rotating cutters. It is the wrong choice if you shave once a week or need to clear several days of growth in one pass: a foil is built for…
