If your Dopp kit has seen better days and consists of a few sorry gels and pomades, it might be time to freshen things up a bit and look for some different names to add to your grooming regimen. For those men who want products made in the right way and with the sort of performance you demand from your grooming gear, you’ll want to check out our pick of 8 men’s grooming brands to try in 2022 below:
SLICK GORILLA
Embracing individuality. The raw power of creativity. That’s what Slick Gorilla was founded on. They are here for the bold, the strong, the creators and innovators. The independent minds and unique characters. If that sounds like you, you’ll want to get your hands on some of their awesome hair care products which includes pomades, sea salt sprays and styling powder to name but a few. We’re big fans of Slick Gorilla’s branding here at Coolector HQ and they back this up with an array of quality products and, having tried them first hand, we can vouch for their considerable calibre.
SEVEN POTIONS
Seven Potions has one mission: Namely, cultivating excellence and this shines through in all their fantastic men’s grooming goods. Quality, performance, and innovation meet respect, confidence, and sustainability at the core of every Seven Potions product. When Seven Potions designs and produces a product, they put themselves in your shoes in order to understand the expectations you have from a company like them. Everything they craft has always been thoroughly tested and produced under strict safety and quality control guidelines that deliver a superior performance and a safe experience. A men’s grooming brand you can feel good about adding to your Dopp kit in 2022.
DAMN HANDSOME GROOMING CO
Given our proclivity for craft beer here at The Coolector, brands like Damn Handsome Grooming Co, who feature beer heavily in their products, are always going to end up in our grooming goods rotation. After moving to Michigan from Portland, the husband and wife team behind Damn Handsome had a thirst for craft beer that was – well – unquenchable. Fortunately they had one of the best craft beer cities right in their back yard. After getting to know many of the brewers in the craft beer community – the more Jarrett and Bridget learned about the craft brewing process – the more they realized how many healthy ingredients went to waste. Thanks to this duo these gold standard ingredients were destined for a new role. No longer will guys get the bottom of the barrel in natural skincare. At Damn Handsome Co, they value the classics. Products that are well-made, hardworking and long-lasting. What’s not to like?
DR SQUATCH
Another favourite of ours here at The Coolector, Dr Squatch have got some of the best branding and coolest products filling their digital shelves. The brand started with a simple gander at the ingredients in store bought soap. This invoked a whole string of uncertainties and questions. What on earth is this stuff they’re putting in here was their overriding takeaway so they set about making men’s grooming goods with natural ingredients that smell great and perform exceptionally.
BRAVO SIERRA
BRAVO SIERRA is the only personal care company that is built with and for the U.S. Military to meet the needs of all those who lead active, adventure filled lives. Their high-performance personal care products are developed with thousands of U.S. Military service members to deliver the very best performance day in day out. Regardless of the sort of grooming goods you’re after, BRAVO SIERRA are likely to have something that fits the bill.
BLACK LABEL GROOMING
We’ve been using the gear from Black Label for a while now here at The Coolector and it never disappoints. We’re particularly partial to their Profile Putty and if your hair needs taming in style, they have definitely got the products for you. This British grooming brand has a small but perfectly formed selection of grooming products that you’ll be adding to your Dopp kit on the regular once you’ve tried them for the first time.
FULTON & ROARK
At Fulton & Roark, they seek out the very finest ingredients available in the world, and they take care to source them safely and responsibly.
But what they do with those ingredients is what really sets them apart from the competition. They combine them in a way that creates a mood, a sense of place, and a vibe that speaks to how you want to feel, and how you choose to express yourself and your sense of style. They use the safest ingredients available, and they are transparent about what goes into each product. Another feel good grooming brand.
OARS & ALPS
The guys at Oars & Alps believe in powerful, naturally derived ingredients that deliver real results. No harmful additives, no harsh chemicals, no worries. Simple as that. An active, on-the-go lifestyle requires high quality skincare that can keep up with your adventures and activities. Their top notch products keep you clean and fresh wherever you go, from the office to the gym to the airport and beyond.
