You know what we hate the most in life? Shaving. There, we said it. However, we all have to do it so you might as well do it right. If you have the kind of beard that won’t really ‘take’ to an electric razor you may want to go old-school. There’s something about a traditional shaving kit that makes us feel like we’re our dad back in the barber shop chair. So why not bring the classic barber shave to your own home? Most of the kits come with the coolest shaving brushes we’ve ever experienced, super-important beard oils and pre/post shaving balms for our sensitive skin, and some even in travel sizes. Shop our picks for the best shaving kits for men in 2018 that also make the perfect gift idea too!
