If you're an adult male, you've probably received a shaving kit as a gift on more than a few occasions. Why? Because the best shaving kit for men is potentially extremely useful and, well, virtually no one buys them for themselves. As stocking stuffers, they're about as common as ties and dress socks. But that’s not all they’re good for. Developing the right shaving routine demands a whole lot of care—a shaving kit can check every box for you, saving you the time and money involved in cobbling together a roster of all-star products piecemeal. Not convinced? You might want to think through your shaving routine. See, before you even consider taking a razor to your face, you should soften your skin with a pre-shave oil. (Once you’re finished, you should also apply a soothing aftershave balm.) And that’s not even getting into all the various nice-to-have accoutrements: maybe a shave brush, perhaps a safety razor. The point is, it can be a lot to shop for and it’s easier to snag it all in one go.
Everyone's face is different, of course, so we can't claim to have picked the single best shaving kit for men. Even better: We rounded up the 12 best shaving kits you can buy today, as a gift to yourself or to some fuzzy-faced friend in desperate need of the upgrade. The odds are good one of the below brands has a bundle that suits your exact grooming needs.
Still not satisfied? Check out the best electric shavers, beard trimmers, and grooming-related subscription boxes on the market right now, and then get back to us.
1/12
Gillette beard care shave set
Gillette's beard care set is packed with enough premium products from the brand's buzzy new King C. Gillette line—including a beard wash, balm, oil—to make it worth the asking price. But get this: it also comes with a full-on beard trimmer!
2/12
Harry's "Winston" shave set
This travel-friendly shave kit is also worthy of prominent at-home sink ledge display: It includes Harry's weighted Winston razor and a matching cover to keep things pristine. The set rounds out your shave with three additional blades, along with the brand's shave cream.
3/12
The Art of Shaving travel shave kit
A comprehensive travel kit, The Art of Shaving's TSA-legal set has you covered from pre- to post-shave.
4/12
Dollar Shave Club shave gift set (was $43, now 19% off)
Dollar Shave Club's aptly-named gift set comes with everything a guy could want shaving-wise—sans the headache of tracking it all down one by one. It includes regular sizes of the brand's pre-shave scrub, shave butter, post-shave cream, and its fan-favorite 6-blade razor (with three extra blades). It's the perfect grooming-related gift—even if the person on the receiving end is you.
5/12
Bevel shave system (was $90, now 14% off)
Bevel's subscription shave system is one of the best if you're a safety razor guy. This starter kit sets you up with a safety razor, a 20-blade replacement set, a badger hair brush to build a supreme lather, shave cream, and a pre- and post-shave duo to prevent irritation and shave bumps.
6/12
Anthony perfect shave kit
Anthony's set of shaving staples includes a specialty facial cleanser, pre-shave oil, shave cream, and a cooling post-shave balm. In other words, if you've already got a razor and only need a grip of carefully-engineered topical goodies, this is the kit for you.
7/12
Pankhurst London shaving set
If you're going to shell out a few hundred bucks on one shave set it better be chock full of products you'll hold onto for the long run. The grooming whizzes at Pankhurst deliver all that and more via a specialty kit that comes with a display-worthy safety razor, head-to-toe shampoo, lightly-scented shaving cream, and a brush to apply it all. (Factor in the brand's post-shave ice gel and suddenly the set's looking like a bona fide bargain.)
8/12
Proraso travel shaving kit
For longtime fans of Proraso's old-school grooming essentials, the brand's shaving kit comes packed with a handful of the sort of products you already know and love—now in travel-ready sizes designed for your that first post-vaccine trip.
9/12
Supply single edge starter set
Grooming upstart Supply's all-in-one set comes with the brand's signature razor—incidentally, one of our favorites—along with a brush, shaving cream, and a soothing post-shave formula to minimize irritation.
10/12
Jack Black shave and skin essentials
If you shave sporadically and your regimen is fairly basic—and there's nothing wrong with that—then perhaps all you need is some skincare essentials. Jack Black's set includes its deep-cleaning cleanser, macadamia-nut-oil shave lather, and SPF 20 daily moisturizer. Every guy needs these things in his arsenal, so it's a great gift for any guy.
11/12
Dollar Shave Club shave starter kit
Dollar Shave Club makes it easy and tempting to enroll in their monthly shave subscription at just $5 for the starter pack. It includes 1-oz. trial sizes of their pre-shave scrub, shave butter, post-shave "dew", and their 6-blade razor. Should you enjoy the assortment, DSC will send you replacement cartridges monthly for $9, and you can upgrade to full-size deliveries of the other three, depending on which products you elect.
12/12
Fendrihan safety-razor shave kit
Fendrihan's stainless-steel safety razor is reason enough to order this kit, and the rest is sweet, sweet icing on the cake: Taylor of Old Bond Street shave cream, a Fendrihan badger brush to whip it real nice, a chrome stand for your razor, plus 10 blades from three different makers so you can pick a favorite.
