The 10 Best Mens Grooming Products Of All Time
I am a longtime men’s grooming writer, for 12 years now—9 spent as GQ’s go-to grooming expert, and also count Robb Report, Men’s Journal, and Gear Patrol as key clients of mine. You can imagine what my daily mail shipment looks like, with new products coming through my door nonstop. It’s nice work, but I often like to reflect on the products I would actually buy if I wasn’t in this position of getting free samples. That’s why, in launching my new men’s grooming publication, Blue Print by Adam Hurly, I added something called the Blue Ribbon award, to celebrate those hall-of-fame products that I think most men would absolutely love. Here are the first 10 inductees.
This video shows me discussing all the best parts of each product—but here’s a quick cheat sheet below, too. You can also check out the roster of them at Blue Print, and sign up for the Blue Print newsletter for all the latest products, brand spotlight, future inductees (and some prizes along the way).
Blue Print by Adam Hurly
Marshmallow texture, delivering an extremely satisfying clean—whether you’re oily, dry, sensitive, or in between, this face wash is unparalleled.
$20 at Amazon
Blue Print by Adam Hurly
The customization you need in a multitasking groomer—which is best for personalized beard styling, above all. And did I mention, 17 hours of battery life, brand new?
$70 at Amazon
Blue Print by Adam Hurly
An essential for the thigh chafers and swamp crotches out there. No hyperbole: It’s a life saver.
$15 at Amazon
Blue Print by Adam Hurly
Safety razor shaving made easy—no nicks on your face, nor on your fingers as you change the blades.
$59 at Supply
Blue Print by Adam Hurly / Arquiste
The pitch-perfect patchouli, that manages to be both professional and tantalizing. My #1 compliment getter of the thousands of fragrances I’ve tested.
$205 at Arquiste
Blue Print by Adam Hurly
The weirdest hair styler, in the best way. Part dry shampoo, part wax—it texturizes and mattifies.
$20 at Amazon
Blue Print by Adam Hurly
A soothing moisturizer for every skin type, even sensitive and those with inflammatory issues. It got the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance, and works wonders as a post-shave relief cream, too.
$40 at Amazon
Blue Print by Adam Hurly
A deodorant that you massage in with your fingers. Sounds silly to some, smells great to all. (The unscented option is a terrific choice too.)
$29 at Amazon
Blue Print by Adam Hurly
The best version of those 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioners, since it favors the conditioning aspect. Two terrific options here—yellow/smoothing (for thick strands), or green/cooling (for oily scalps, fine strands, sensitive scalps etc).
$29 at Amazon
Blue Print by Adam Hurly
A must “everyday carry” item, that nixes germs, smells fantastic (peppermint or lavender), and will never parch your mitts.
$8 at Amazon
