Soothe Your Bristles With The Art of Shaving Beard and Stubble Kit

By Bryan Holt Apr 21, 2021 3:10 AM

To put it simply, we would recommend anything of The Art of Shaving’s effective grooming products for men. However, some of our favorites from the storied New York-based grooming gurus usually come in the form of a diligently designed formula that caters to a specific need. The Art of Shaving Beard and Stubble Kit meticulously softens stubble and maintains healthy growth, leaving your beard refreshed and ready for the world.

A beard grooming routine is dependent on many factors. From seasonal changes and special occasions, to your beard’s overall length and attitude, your routine will ultimately depend on a mix of things, coupled with end result you want. On the other hand, maintaining stubble is something that can be accomplished with just a handful of help.

We’ve touched on how to grow and maintain stubble in the past, but even with bountiful beard oil, stubble is one of those things that can still be difficult to keep feeling the way you want it to. Buy at The Art of Shaving features a simple trifecta of products that will keep your bristles soft and your face feeling happy.

The kit features a heap of high-quality essential oils, including jojoba seed to soften coarse hair, peppermint for a stimulating scent and added brightness, and olive oil to lend a hand on keeping your stubble soothed and moisturized.

Much like the hair on your head, if you’re going to wash your beard, you’ll want to follow that up with a cleansing beard conditioner.

Live on the Cutting Edge with expert shave advice

Cutting Edge

When a man is coming of age, there is a rite of passage he must go through. If he is lucky, he has a father who will teach him. But he must learn to shave. Whether you are a guy who loves the Harvey Specter clean-shaven look or a guy who wants to look like the wild man in the wilderness, you still need to perfect this process. Every man needs some good shaving tips. If you are a father of a son, this is a ritual you are looking forward to teaching your son. And you will cherish that moment, among others, as they move on in their life.

If you aren’t someone lucky enough to have a father or grandfather you can look to for the wisdom of the shave, then you’re the person we’re looking for here. I remember my father teaching me. So it is important to pass on the information to you. In true Mark style, I reached out to my friends at Cutting Edge and got expert information from a leader in the industry.

How The Beard Club Helped Me Grow a Beard

I was a failure … the facial hair equivalent of a 90-pound weakling. It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t grow a beard; it was more that whatever facial hair I did grow felt like a Velcroed-on Brillo pad: super uncomfortable and leaving my skin itchy and broken out. As Movember and No-Shave November came and went, I made two separate attempts at beard growth … each ending with a sprint into the bathroom when I could stand it no more, trimmer in hand, welcoming back the clean-shaven face I know so well. It wasn’t the first time I’d given up on hirsute happiness.

When December rolled around, I decided to pay attention to an email I’d gotten for something called The Beard Club, a subscription service for beard care products. The Club’s premise was “helping first-timers as well as seasoned hirsute gentleman to up their grooming game.” I couldn’t resist and threw down the gauntlet. Could they help even me? After all, the site’s tag line is “Don’t Grow it Alone.”

The best-selling colognes for men (because some things are popular for a reason)

The way you smell is the message you send before you even open your mouth or shake a hand. When someone meets you for the first time, your style can give them a great first impression from a distance. But then your cologne will be the storyteller up close. Smelling good is one of the main points of men’s grooming. Soaps, shampoos, lotions, all fragrant and elevating your attractiveness, and ultimately, your memorability.

That is why popular men’s colognes become, well, popular. These are the scents that stand the test of time. The ones that linger on your shirt when you leave, and your girl wears it to bed. The kind that stays around in the office (subtly, not drifting throughout the office because you take a bath in it) after you have gone. And the kind that sparks memories of great dates in the past when she smells it on you before leaving the house. Of course, the best of the best sell like the best of the best. And these are the colognes that sell better than any other year in and year out.
