Fathers seem to fall into one of two divergent categories when it comes to grooming: He’s meticulous about his appearance and stocks his medicine cabinet accordingly or he considers Irish Spring or similar bar soap a does-it-all wonder.

Dapper dad will adore trying new brands and, uh, clueless dad may learn a thing or two.
