For most of us, learning how to shave was a case of trial and error. Armed with fatherly advice and guesswork, the daily routine of men around the world became little more than an effort to avoid bloodbaths, ingrown hairs and embarrassing rashes. It is my sincere belief that the sheer disdain most men have for shaving is what triggered the resurgence of the beard more than a decade ago.

This year has been hard on us all, and it shows. If you’ve spotted more wrinkles than you’re comfortable with, or have a bad case of stress-face and need a relaxing grooming routine, contact us at asky@mrporter.com or on social media with all of your style and grooming enquiries. We’ll do our best to help solve your grooming and skincare-related questions, and get you looking as bright eyed and bushy tailed as you did in distant 2019.

For the uninitiated, skincare is a tricky world to navigate. It is also, inevitably, an expensive one. It’s easy to gawp at the price of some of the lotions and potions MR PORTER stocks – especially when that money could be going towards that pair of sneakers or new leather jacket you’ve got your eye on – without the context of a thorough grooming education to guide you. The best luxury skincare you’ll find on MR PORTER very much follows the same formula as the clothes we sell.

With opportunities to flex your style muscles still few and far between, there’s never been a better moment to focus on your head suit, ie all the hairs that grow on your head. As a grown man, we hope you’ve moved beyond using just shampoo or (gasp) bar soap on your head and have realised that you will get out of your head what you put on it. We would also like to think that you’ve found a good routine for your beard as well, one that includes some kind of moisture application, whether you’re shaving or not. If you need a little help sifting through the plethora of products out there, we’re here for you. Below, the MR PORTER team outline their favourite hair and beard products for happier hair days.
