BEAUTY EAUTY CHARTS

This week, we're thinking of the men in our lives and their grooming needs...

1. SMOOTH OPERATOR

We understand that good shaves are hard to come by but, once a chap has the correct tools – a seriously luxe shaving cream or, more specififically, Buly 1803 Crème Pogonotomienne, £33 – expect no nicks and silky-soft jawlines. mrporter.com

2. A HELPING HAND

We shan’t beat about the bush. Czech & Speake Gold Manicure Set, £450, costs the earth. That said, encouraging nail health among the male of our species is important and requires serious investment of time and money. czechandspeake fragrance.com

3. SEX ON LEGS

Dior Sauvage, £68, gets us every time. Combining vetiver, bergamot and patchouli, it’s sexy and distinguished on all who wear it. We know because we’ve spray-tested it on an array of suitors over the years. You know who you are. dior.com

4. TRAVEL BUG

Finding worthy receptacles for one’s grooming essentials is vital. We propose Barbour’s leather wash bag, £70, which looks suitably rugged on the outside and boasts ample space for up to a month’s worth of adventures on the inside. veryexclusive.co.uk

5. FACIAL HAIR HERO

From hipster barbers to grufflfly grandpas, beards are arguably the most on-trend accessory this season. Kiehl’s Nourishing Beard Grooming Oil, £24, keeps them meticulously spruced by smoothing facial hair while hydrating the skin underneath. kiehls.co.uk
