﻿10 Essential Grooming Tools EVERY Man Must Own [0:00:00]
So, apparently in the oral hygiene industry, there’s an argument that’s been going on for a
decade. And that is which tongue scraper is more effective? The nunchaku or the do-it-all tongue
brush? Apparently, each side has its devotees and this disagreement has split families.
Gents, I’m here to prevent a civil war by telling you the answer is to use
both. Seriously, especially if you’ve deep tongue grooves like me.
Now, my routine is I like to start off with a brush. Right after that,
I use the scraper on the brush to go over my tongue once. Next, I bring in the nunchaku
scrapers. This, I run over two to three times to get all that nastiness off. That, gentlemen,
is how you clean your tongue. [Music]
Now, gents, let’s have fun in today’s video because I want to hear from you down in the
comments below if you own all of these tools, if you’re missing any, if you disagree,
if you think some of these are non-essentials. Seriously, gents, you know I love hearing from
you. And if you have everything on this list, do me a favor, let me know down below by just saying,
I’m perfect. That won’t be too hard, right? Next up on the list, hammerhead scissors. Now,
technically these are called rounded edge scissors or safety scissors, but I like to call them
hammerheads because it just sounds cooler. But, that’s beside the point. You’re wondering
why do I need to own these? Because scissors like these are going to prevent a lot of bad
things from happening when you need to get to a hair in an area that’s relatively sensitive.
We’re talking the nose, ears, eyebrows. Seriously, look at these incredibly sharp looking
cuticle scissors. You want to take a chance and put this up your nose or even near your eye?
And, speaking of your nose, a dedicated electric nose trimmer is a must. My personal preference are
those outfitted with side cutters. Although on a pinch, the circular cutters are fine.
The next grooming tool every modern man needs, a good razor. And if you’re looking for a good
razor, check out Harry’s, the sponsor of today’s video. Harry’s crafts high quality
long lasting blades and durable weighted handles that make a close comfortable shave enjoyable.
Now, they also sent me their shaving cream with eucalyptus, solid ingredients. And as you can
see here, I took my shaving bowl, put a little bit of that shaving cream in it,
then took my shaving brush and got a nice lather and went ahead and got ready for the shave.
As I’m going over the shave taking really small strokes,
that’s very important. In addition, you want to shave in the direction of the growth of your
hair. This is called shaving with the grain. But, seriously, guys, right after that, I shaved
against the grain and the Harry’s razors did an excellent job. And because Harry’s insist that
you shouldn’t have to choose between a great shave and a fair price, they just give you both. Refill
blades start at $2. Gents, this is a no-brainer. Oh! And new Harry’s customers get their starter
set, which includes a five-blade razor, weighted handle, foaming shaving gel with aloe,
and a travel cover. Plus, Harry’s offers a whole range of amazing face and body
care products for men delivered right to your door. This is a no-brainer. If you’re looking
for a quality shave at an affordable price, you need to check out Harry’s.
So, gents, to get the best deal on the web, go over to harrys.com/rmrs
and grab your starter set for 3 bucks. And this is a $13 value, solid razors, solid weighted handle,
just a really good way to start the New Year. Or and this one. In any case, awesome razors,
the handle is really, really nice. Again, gents, use that link in the description of today’s video
to get the best deal on the web. And for a limited time only,
check out Harry’s holiday gift sets, handsomely put together. You can give this as a gift or
keep it yourself. It’s not going to be around forever, so use it or lose it.
And sticking with the theme of a great shave, you notice there are a couple of tools in there. One,
we had a shaving bowl. This is where you can put a cream and you can basically get a nice lather.
I like having this dedicated bowl along with a badger shaving brush.
Why use a brush versus using your hands? The brush, one, it just looks cooler. But, it’s also
it’s going to get into places that your fingers, well, they just can’t do as good of a job.
In addition, if you want to go over with the second round, you want to get a little bit
of a closer shave by going against the grain, then that’s when you just simply use the brush.
Go right over it, very easy. You don’t have to use any more cream, it’s right there in
the brush. A really nice tool to have. And protip for those of you guys with
tough stubble, make sure to save after getting out of the shower. Right there,
your hair is going to be supple, it’s going to be easier to cut. And if that’s not possible,
then take a warm wash rag and hold it up on your face for just a few seconds back and forth. This
right here is going to get the hair just a bit softer and make it easier to shave.
The next grooming tool that every man needs to have,
an anti-hemorrhagic. What the heck is that? Guys, I’m talking that styptic pencil. Basically,
this is a silver nitrate stick, so whenever you cut yourself, you nick yourself with
shaving. We’re talking minor nicks, you go over that and it stops you from bleeding.
Guys, I promise you, this tool is life-changing especially if you shave a few times a week,
you routinely get nicks and cuts. Guys, this right here is just going to stop the bleeding and is so
much better than just putting toilet paper on it. Next up, we’ve got trimmers. Tons of different
options out there. As you can see here, I’ve got some sideburn trimmers. These are really
nice especially the wider edge type because they allow you just to get a really straight nice look
on your sideburns. And in a pinch, this can also work on the back of the neck.
[0:05:00] Now, of course,
just a regular pair of trimmers can get the job done. And, really, it comes down to your personal
needs as to which tool you should purchase. Personally, I do like the smaller trimmers for
the detail work including cleaning up my eyebrows. And speaking of your eyebrows, this is something
your stylist or your barber can take care of when you visit them, but it is nice to be able to get
rid of, yes, those random long hair. I don’t know how in the world I got a
2-inch hair right there in the middle of the eyebrows. It’s like this thing was just hiding
there and popped out one day. Now, what I don’t advice doing
is plucking your eyebrows. That being said, flathead tweezers and needle nose tweezers,
I will add to this list because I think they’re essential, very useful tools.
But, in general, you don’t want to be plucking your eyebrows. The exception would be if you’ve
got a unibrow forming. In that case, a little bit of strategic plucking is fine. But in general,
with your eyebrows, you can use those flat head scissors to get rid of any rogue hairs that, yes,
are going beyond an inch or you can even use hair product. Yes, a little bit of hair product right
here on the eyebrows to keep them in line. Speaking of hair product, tons of options out
there. In general, you’re going to find you’ve got a high hold, low hold, high shine, low
shine. I’ve got a chart right here that kind of breaks out all the different options you have.
But, don’t forget about the importance of your brush and a comb. Now, the funny thing
about brushes and combs is that most guys make a decision about this when they were
teenager and then they never change it. Seriously, gents, you can experiment here.
There are all different types of brushes, all different types of combs and they actually have
different effects on your hair. Some brushes are going to comb your hair straight down,
other ones are going to create texture. And combs are really nice, not only because
they’re portable, but they can help you get that perfect part in your hair. Seriously,
just look at these skills. Look at me parting that hair right there. Isn’t that perfect?
And now, let’s talk about water picks. This is a new tool I’ve fallen in love with. And any
of you guys that ever had braces, you know the power of a good water pick. And it just
makes your teeth feel so much better and it can just do things that, yes, floss can do it,
but water picks do it so much better. And you didn’t hear this from me, but it’s also
fun to spray wife and kids with water pick too. All right, gents, so what video to watch next? How
about thirteen fashion trends that should die forever and ever and ever? Seriously, in this
video, I rant. I go in a little bit these things should disappear, why are they even around.
What am I talking about, gents? Find out in this video right here. Yes, click on it, it’s a good
one. Seriously, it’s a good video. Boom. Boom. Hit that click. Yes, go right to it. Magically, you
