Hair Gel
Christmas is about giving and as one of the hero products in the Bluebeards Revenge range, the brand gives 50p every time it sells a pot of its hair gel to the Lion Barbers Collective.

And some of the proceeds go to a group of top barbers who come together to raise awareness and help prevent male suicides. Buy Now: £9.99

A few spritzes over your damp hair and you have something to keep those waves in place, volumise your curls and add some all-important texture.

For Facial Hair Perfectionists
Beard And Moustache Scissors
You think Bluebeard got that dashing facial hair without having to prune the whiskers? These scissors specifically designed for your facial follicles, work best on longer styles that an electric beard trimmer just can’t tame. They’re also great for quick beard touch-ups just before you leave the house. Buy Now: £6.99
Classic Blend Beard Oil
When the facial shrubbery is growing thick on top, it needs some treatment to keep it at its tip-top best. This beard oil contains a blend of oils will cleanse and moisturise the skin below, hydrate and protect the facial hair above and leave it all smelling like the Garden of Eden. Buy Now: £9.99
Beard Brush
You wouldn’t walk out of the house with a bird’s nest on top of your head, so why leave the bottom half untamed? This hardwearing beard brush will untangle those facial hairs, rid your beard of unwanted debris (dust, dirt, leftovers) and stimulate the skin’s natural oils below to leave the fuzz lustrous and soft to the touch. Buy Now: £14.99
For The Skincare Scientist
Scimitar Double Edge Safety Razor
This age of four and five blades may be doing our bare chops more harm than good. If you’re suffering from razor burn when you shave, try this traditional double edge safety razor. It uses just a single blade to whip off the hair at the follicle without multiple blades going over the same area several times and causing undue irritation. Buy Now: £34.99
Shaving Cream
If you’re going to be doing things the good, old-fashioned way you’ll need some of this shaving cream. The alternative foams tend to dry out the skin more, while if you apply the cream with a brush you’ll whip up your stubble so they’re sliced straight off without the risk of ingrown hairs. Buy Now: £9.99
Face Scrub
Give that gorgeous mug of yours a well-deserved scrub with this nourishing face wash. Finely crushed olive stones take on the dead cells that are dulling your skin’s surface while ginger extract and its miraculous healing properties moisturise below. The guys at Bluebeards (and a collection of some of the best barbers around) also have it pegged as a top-class pre-shaving treatment if you fancy. Buy Now: £9.99
Cooling Moisturiser
In Roman days, men used to scrape off their facial hair with a pumice stone. Thank Santa, modern face care is not nearly as barbaric, but we still put a significant strain on our rosy cheeks every day. Give it some daily TLC with this cooling moisturiser packed full of natural jojoba oil, which wipes away grease and prevents those dreaded spots. Buy Now: £9.99
Broadsword Straight Razor
You don’t find many heirlooms in the average man’s bathroom. But then the average man doesn’t have one of these next to his toothbrush. This straight razor, precision-engineered in carbon steel with the experts at Ralf Aust, will last you decades if you look after it properly, giving you the closest shave you’re ever likely to get. Literally the sharpest tool in your grooming arsenal. Buy Now: £99.99
