Best Mens Grooming Christmas Gifts

Men's grooming products are among the best gifts at Christmas. Here are half-a-dozen that are proving to be among the most popular for Xmas 2008.

Acqua Di Gio Men's Cologne

This hugely popular men's fragrance comes from Giorgio Armani. Here is an Amazon.com customer comment:

This scent is a hit with all the ladies in my life; family, friends, coworkers, random women in restaurants, right down to my oh so significant other. I'm a young guy, and this is a great scent that I can wear to work, to class, or out to dinner and know I smell great for the occasion. Its the kind of fragrance that subtly exudes masculinity rather than clubs people over the head with it. I love it and I can tell you the women in your life will love it too. Learn More.

Remington MS2-390 Microscreen 500 Rechargeable/Corded Men's Shaver
An Amazon.com customer wrote about this best-seller:

Have used this razor since Jan.'08 and it has been performing flawlessly since then. The June '08 issue of a leading Consumer Magazine has just rated this MS2-390 a "Best Buy", second only to the Braun 360 at $170....After the initial 2 or 3 charge/discharge cycles to improve battery memory, it provides me with over 20 three minute shaves every morning, which more than lives up to the advertised 60 minute run time....This Remington should provide many years of use as did my previous one. Even after the batteries are fully depleted, this razor will still work via the plug-in cord. Learn More.

Philips Norelco BG2020 Bodygroom Shaver
Popular Mechanics magazine actually reviewed the popular Bodygroom:

The Bodygroom electric razor is already the butt (puns are inevitable when talking about this device) of potty-mouth jokes from all manner of Web and print journalists. And yet, it's a good idea: a razor designed for all points south of the neck, including—cue the adolescent giggles—there. To a certain extent the Bodygroom is simply a shaver that doesn't cut very close, greatly reducing the chance of nicking sensitive areas or otherwise things that you seriously do not want to irritate.

...The Downside: Men have been shaving "everywhere" for years, so the Bodygroom isn't innovative in concept. However, it's definitely the least anxiety-inducing body shaver I’ve seen (or, I’ll admit it, tried).

...Bottom Line: The Bodygroom is equal parts hilarious and useful. Girlfriends and wives should feel free to give it as a gift, deftly transforming this highly functional body shaver into a not-so-subtle hint. Learn More.

Cool Water by Davidoff
This is another of the top-selling mens colognes. An enthusiastic user wrote at Amazon.com:

This was the first official cologne I ever bought, and I still wear it today! I would have to say out of anything I have tried, this is my favorite. My girlfriend loves when I wear it. It smell's... fresh. I can't really place the exact tones of the smell, all I know is that it's perfect! It's great for younger cologne buyers, because of its lower cost and it's light smell. It's appropriate for any occasion. If I am going on a date, I will about a spray and a half to attract more attention, but on regular days I will just use a spray to keep smelling nice! I highly recommend this item! I just sprayed some on myself because I really needed to smell it after writing this review! Learn More

Braun Series 7- 790cc (9595) Pulsonic Shaver
Here is a realistic Amazon.com customer review:

Although a bit steep in price, it performs as advertised. I have owned a 7000 series Braun and was getting fed up with the amount of times it took going over my chin, neck and area below the ear on the jawbone. This razor did an excellent job in a minimal amount of time with a close shave I haven't experienced in years. I highly recommend this shaver if you can handle the price. Learn More.

Philips Norelco arcitec 1050 Men's Shaver
A Maxim magazine review commented:

Philips Norelco is one of the biggest and best producers of electric razors in the grooming game and the Arcitec is their flagship. It uses three independent rotary heads that flex around your face no matter how hideous and lumpy it may be....Good looks only get a razor so far, but this thing is as effective as it is pretty. The stainless steel blades do an awesome job of smoothing up your face and it even tackles those ropey, painful neck hairs like a champ....How does it stack up against other razors? ...The difference is noticeable no matter how much shaving you do, but guys with necks like patches of velcro will be voting for this thing for president.
