And yes, men have their own day, and it’s Men’s Grooming Day. We’ve talked about it a bit this year, but it’s still something very important, whether you like the way you look or not. Inside and out, it goes without saying. We can help you with the latter. For the former, consult professionals.
For those who like to have a beard… or not

This is Braun’s best shaver, plain and simple, or so they say and it will be perfect for the Men’s Grooming Day. It’s smooth and comfortable with every stroke, it doesn’t pull hair out, it cuts. Perfect for ultimate closeness and skin comfort, even for a 7-day beard. Its ultimate precision works even on difficult hairs thanks to the built-in precision ProTrimmer on this shaver is enhanced with surgical grade steel and offers maximum cutting efficiency even on moustache, sideburns and under the nose.
Superior cleaning and charging support: the SmartCare Center 6-in-1 automatically charges, cleans, lubricates and dries at the touch of a button, so your beard shaver runs like new every day. It’s designed to last for years. It’s made in Germany, titanium-coated for corrosion resistance and 100% waterproof with a powerful Li-Ion battery that lasts for 60 minutes.
For the most demanding
The Merkur luxury set that meets your requirements with style to spare. It consists of three pieces: a magnificent stainless steel stand designed to accommodate the included pure badger hair brush and a double-edged safety razor. All three items are covered in chrome plating. A great addition for this Men’s Grooming Day.

Several ranges are available on the market. At Gentologie, we use 3 of them in rotation, which we are offering you on this Men’s Grooming Day. Clarins Men, Groom and CW Beggs, whose president will be interviewed next week.
The different products are obviously very different in appearance, both in terms of packaging and content. Don’t hesitate to try them out and make your choice, every man’s skin is different and you need to find the product for yours.
The products are different, two of them are made in Montréal, Canada, and of these, only one, CW Beggs, is recommended by the Canadian Dermatology Association.
Smelling good is always important

John Varvatos XX Intense Perfume
We received this brand new eau de parfum for men, which captures the soul of rock ’n’ roll in an enigmatic woody amber scent. Designed for the sophisticated rebel (so we can talk gentlemen here), it’s a bold expression of individuality and passion.
The fragrance opens with a vibrant blend of bergamot, red ginger flower and verbena that evolves with the warmth of damascena geranium and cyclamen, and settles into a seductive base of cedar wood, roasted coffee and tonka bean, according to the manufacturer. Our editor also found pleasant, slightly sweet mango scents, which definitely let the woodiness take over without being too present.
Rich, thrilling and irresistible, John Varvatos XX Intense is a celebration of craft, style and music, allowing you to unleash your confident side and make a lasting impression in any setting, from dawn to dusk on this Men’s Grooming Day and every other days.

The American Crew Shampoo

We’ve already told you about American Crew shampoos, they work really well and we’ve been testing them for several months. The fragrance of the shampoo doesn’t linger after washing, but is very pleasant in the shower.
The different smell :
Dyson Supersonic hair dryer : An essential of the Men’s Grooming Day
It’s hard not to love the new favourite from Gentologie. We’re talking fast drying without intense heat, but you can still set it to your preferred level. You also have the new Flyaway accessory that comes with the hairdryer.
The Dyson Supersonic dryer measures the air temperature over 40 times per second and regulates the heat. This prevents damage caused by extreme heat to keep your hair shiny. Inspired by professional stylists, the new Flyaway accessory uses the Coanda effect to lift longer hair and hide flyaways. Giving you a salon-smooth finish at home. Your significant other will no doubt want to borrow it. A great Addition for this Men’s Grooming Day.

As for a solution for getting your hair in the right place, Firsthand’s “All-Purpose” pomade has been on our list of favourites for a few months now, and we told you all about it here. It’s not too intense in texture, feels great in the hand and goes on quickly in the shower.
Groom’s styling mist : Men’s Grooming Day windy essential
For added shine, Groom’s styling mist is perfect for adding a little extra shine and hold. It’s perfect for countering the intense winds of the Montreal metro, which can quickly blow your hair out of shape.
Happy National Men’s Grooming Day to you all, dear gentlemen.
