Nail Clippers

When shaking someone’s hand you tend to notice two things; the grasp of their hand and the state of their nails. Long and poorly maintained nails are never a good look and as long nails attract and trap dirt it is both physically unappealing and an issue for your health. Invest in a good pair of stainless steel nail clippers to keep long nails in check.Clippers will ensure a smooth, even cut of the nail and avoid a jagged and messy look.

Tweezers

Tweezing hair from your nose, face or eyebrows may not seem appealing to most men but it is the most precise and effective method of hair removal. Tweezers are the most effective tool for precision hair removal as the hair is removed from the root, allowing more time before the hair reappears. Shaving excess hair on your eyebrows, for example, is both redundant and risky. Not only will the hair appear more frequently with shaving but will also grow back thicker. So do away with that unsightly monobrow and if you’re feeling brave enough remove that hair protruding from your nostrils.

Then speak to your local dentist and they’ll tell you that flossing helps reduce cavaties which will ultimately save you a lot of money down the track.

Loofah Sponge

A loofah is an important tool for male grooming and one that is often under utilised due to its perception of being only for females.  A loofah sponge offers incredible exfoliating qualities for the entire body. Exfoliating your face regularly is an important part of your grooming routine so why not extend that to the rest of your body? Remove built up dead skin and dirt from your arms, feet, chest and help to prevent the appearance of dreaded backne.
