Most men forget that your best self is your greatest asset. It can help you reach your goals if you know how to present yourself well. You just need to groom yourself properly so you look put together.

Gone are the days of raunchy, rugged looks that every man of the previous centuries needs to sport. Men should be as invested in grooming themselves just as much as women religiously do their beauty regimens.

So if you want to level up your looks or if you just want to feel good about yourself, here are a few gadgets and accessories that every man must have in their arsenal.

Face and body hair trimmer

Ever dream of having stubbles that look sexy at glance? A facial styler is what you need and Philips has it. The Norelco OneBlade Face + Body trims, edges, and shaves any length of hair.

If you’re opting for a clean shave or you want to leave a few hairs, it has a set of combs in different lengths to aid you in your grooming sessions. Cut your facial and body hair precisely in the shower, without worrying about nicks and cuts. And oh, its replaceable blade is so durable it can last up to four months.

Trimmer for down under

The longer the hair in your pubic area, the easier for bacteria to cling up due to the build-up of sweat. If the idea of waxing your pubes and hair down under hurts, a trimmer designed for private parts might be the best solution.

Meridian’s The Trimmer is waterproof, rust-resistant, and comes with a replaceable ceramic blade that handles both coarse and curly hair — without the displeasing feeling of tugging and pulling. You can easily trim your hair and look good below the belt.

Facial cleansing brush

Take your skincare to the next level. When you apply your facial cleanser, opt for a cleansing brush like the Foreo Luna for Men. With its T-Sonic pulsations, it helps cleanse gently while removing dead skin cells and unclogs your pores of dirt and oil. It also prepares your skin before you go on a shave, preventing razor burns.

If you’re already addicted to skincare, investing in a facial cleansing brush will do your skin some wonders. Go get that youthful look and a complexion that appears clean, fresh, and energized.

Nose and ear hair trimmer

Wait, what? You never had excess, lengthy hair in your nose and ear? Lucky you. Some people find it annoying that there’s a strand that goes out of the hole. It’s unpleasant to look at, and it’s uncomfortable to have a strand of hair dangling around.

Fret not, MANSCAPED has a nose and ear hair trimmer called Weed Whacker — and it surely gets the job done. It’s designed to be comfortable and effective — equipped with a rotary dual-edge blade that carries the brand’s proprietary SkinSafe technology.

You can easily maneuver the steel cone tip — which is hypoallergenic by the way — to remove your nose and ear hair. Without worry about pulls, nicks, or cuts.

Self-haircut kit

When the quarantine started, a lot of men I know learned how to cut their hair. It took me a while to add cutting my own hair to my skillset, but it’s only possible when you have an exact tool that helps you with it.

Remington’s Shortcut Pro Self-Haircut Kit has everything you need. It has an ergonomic design, it precisely cut your hair and still feels comfortable as you do it, and it’s wider than the usual clippers which make cutting your hair quick. And it comes with different blades so you can personalize your haircut and style it the way you want it to.

Paddock Yoyo + Grand Paddock case

How extra are you as an Apple fan? No matter what you say, you’ll probably never be as extra as someone who buys a US$ 5,000 MagSafe charging case for their iPhone and Apple Watch. Hermès has just launched a series of leather chargers and cases specifically made for Apple fans.

Available now, Hermès has three types of MagSafe chargers for iPhone users. The cheapest one, the Paddock Solo, is a simple leather-bound puck that can charge a single device. The charger also has a braided 3.3ft USB cable. It costs an eye-watering US$ 1,250.

On the other hand, the Paddock Yoyo charger offers two charging zones for two devices simultaneously. Shaped like a yoyo (hence, the name), it allows users to roll the cable into a convenient stack. It costs US$ 1,750.

Finally, the Paddock Duo is a charging pad that allows for two devices simultaneously. It just doesn’t have a pocket for the cable. It likewise costs US$ 1,750.

Paddock Duo charger

Now, if you want to upgrade your pricey charging kit even further, Hermès has two cases for them: the Petit Paddock case and the Grand Paddock case.

The Petit Paddock case, as the name suggest, is a snug leather case that fits only the charger (and a brick, if bundled with the Yoyo). The charger and case combo will set you back by US$ 3,725 for the Solo, and US$ 4,225 for either the Duo or the Yoyo.
