How things have changed. It's been 31 years since Pete Rose endorsed Aqua Velva because, as you know, "a man just wants to smell like a man."
And for some, it may still be their aftershave of choice -- even with todays wide selection.
In fact, the men's grooming industry has exploded into a multi million-dollar empire that includes all sorts of products, from bronzers to wrinkle creams, all in travel-convenient packaging.
These days, men want more. They prefer high quality grooming products. And why not? They deserve to be pampered too.
Well look no further. The Grooming Lounge offers the highest quality of skin, hair, shaving and personal care products for all men -- while at home and certainly while travelling. Check them out at www.groominglounge.com.
Anthony Logistics 'Here Comes the Groomed' kit
This award-winning skin care line for men has all the essential grooming tools men need to look their best on their wedding day, or for any occasion. It's an ideal gift, especially for the groom who rarely sees the kind of attention the bride does, or for the man who simply wants to look his best. It comes with a glycolic facial cleanser, a facial scrub to help prevent ingrown hairs, a pre-shave oil that decreases razor burn and softens beards, shaving cream, an after-shave balm to soothe the face and neck, a sea salt body scrub and a hand and body moisturizer. All are two-and-a-half ounces (or smaller) and come neatly packaged in a charcoal grey mesh kit. The clever packaging even supplies a list of grooming tips to ensure you're camera ready. Not only is this a smart pre-wedding grooming treatment, it's also airline approved and ready to be whisked away on a honeymoon.
Price: $50.
Dermalogica shave system travel kit
Researched and developed by the International Dermal Institute, Dermalogica was founded on the belief that good skin care is not about pampering or luxury, any more than brushing your teeth or washing your hair is.
This includes the shaving process as well. The kit features five products recommended for men looking for healthy skin and a superior shave. All products are free of artificial fragrance, colour, and are supplied in sizes approved for air travel. It includes a daily clean scrub; pre-shave guard; soothing shave cream; post-shave balm; daily defense block (SPF15) and an invigorating shave gel (sample). Dermalogica's extraordinary high-end line of skin care products for men (and women) will not disappoint. I know, because I've used them too.
Price: $35.
