Five brands for Men’s Grooming

By Jeremy Ng | June 14, 2016

The art of wet shaving originated centuries ago, where skilled barbers offered grooming services with straight razors (also known as cut throat razors). Today, the art of personal grooming has since been brought to our own homes.

For many, personal grooming isn’t just a ‘personal’ choice, but instead, a routine that they’ve come to love. Young boys have watched their fathers pick their brushes, form foamy lathers, and positioning the blades at a precise angle to achieve the closest shave. In the eyes of their sons, wet shaving was a ritual that marked their foray into adulthood.

Though some may have forsaken the art of a wet shave for a quick, dry shave, there is a growing number of gentlemen who’ve not only grown accustomed to grooming themselves every morning, but are die-hards who believe that the first shave can very much set the tone for the day.

While wet-shaving demands time, and a certain level of vigilance when handling a cut-throat razor in the morning, the results will always be worth it. Coupled with the right after-shave lotions and fragrances, it’ll leave you smelling, and feeling like a million bucks.
