Here’s why: This nifty razor features five super-thin blades to catch all facial hair in one swipe, and a trimmer on the other side for detailing. There’s also the option to use it with battery power, which activates the ‘micro-pulsing’ technology to reduce friction and increase the razor glide.

Getting to the hard-to-reach spots

You’ll need: VS for Men Easy Trim

Here’s why: It’s an area that’s often overlooked, but most men need some sort of hair maintenance when it comes to the nose, ears and brows. This handheld device can address all of the above, all thanks to the removable heads – pick the angled version to remove nose and ear hair, the comb guide to define the brow area, or the goatee trimmer to clean up around the neck and sideburns.

A seriously smooth shave

You’ll need: Braun CoolTec Shaver

Combatting razor bumps

You’ll need: Clinique Post-Shave Healer

Here’s why: This fragrance-free formula is great for those with sensitive skin, and can eliminate bumps, ingrown hairs and shaving rash after shaving. You’ll love the minty-cool feeling too – it’s a great way to wake up in the morning.
