The Art of Shaving has shops all over the country with about half of them boasting barber spas in them. They also have a line of luxurious products that are designed to bring the spa experience into the home.

Skin-Loving Shaving Cream

A great gift idea is the Peppermint Shave Cream, which doesn't have some of the skin dehydrating properties found in cheaper shave creams. "It's made with only essential oils, it's got coconut oil and it does a really good job of keeping your skin healthy, which is especially important in the winter when you're exposed to indoor heating and then outdoor dry and cold weather," says Men's Lifestyle Journalist Clint Carter. There's also an accompanying Peppermint Body Soap.

$27 for the Peppermint Shave Cream and $20 for the Body Soap.

A Razor's Edge

Something men love about shaving is the ritual aspect. "They like something nice they can hold in their hands, like they're having a nice morning experience rather than a chore," says Carter.

Morris Park razors are a beautiful choice; they are designed after vintage race cars so they've got the glossy finish and hits of chrome and a nice weight in mens' hands.

Morris Park razors are available in three colors and are $60 each.

Scent of A Man

In honor of their 20th year the Art of Shaving has released a line of five fragrances in classic scents like sandalwood and cypress and coriander and cardamom.

They retail for about $100 each.

Shaving Showmanship

"Something that is often overlooked is display," says Carter. " You have a beautiful razor, you have a beautiful shave kit. It's nice to set it out there on the bathroom counter. Shaving stands will hold your razor, and a shave brush which can help you get a thick lather. You can design these however you want. You can get whatever brush you want, whatever razor you want."

These range from $150 to $800.

On-The-Go Grooming

"If you're not exactly sure what the guy in your life really needs these travel kits are really great, they've got small sizes of the shaving cream, aftershave, you get brush and a razor. All convenient and handy," he says.
