Thankfully, many of the biggest names in grooming have put together several men's grooming kits, which provide everything a man needs for shaving, skincare, or scalp treatments — all in one compact package. From travel-sized samples to help you decide if a particular product is right for you to massive sets that will keep you stocked up in style, men's grooming kits provide a great way to tackle the style struggles of the modern man without your wallet taking too much of a hit.
Men's grooming kits are typically designed to tackle a specific task, be it shaving, skin care, or otherwise. But beyond their broadest stated purpose, there can be finer points to particular kits that can help you decide what's right for you. Some kits are intended to offer small samples of products — usually just an ounce or so — to help you decide if that product is right for you ... at an affordable price point.
Others offer a larger supply of the products, intended to sustain a user for weeks ... or even months. As a result, those looking for a hearty supply may find “sample” kits lacking, while those unsure of whether a particular product is right for them could get saddled with massive tubes that simply take up crucial cabinet space after one or two unsatisfactory uses.
Storage
Often — but not always — grooming kits can come packaged in their own travel bag, perfect for keeping everything in one place, or even tossing in your car or luggage (provided the contained bottles meet TSA requirements, of course). If the grooming kit you choose doesn't come self-contained, be sure you have the storage space to keep the items tidy and organized.

Grooming kits can come in many different shapes and sizes to serve many different purposes. The kits we've collected here range from pocket-sized pouches of simple manicuring tools to morning routine overhauling mega-kits that hook you up with everything from new brushes and combs to manual and electric razors.
Some grooming kits can be a quick fix for a spontaneous trip or an “in case of emergencies” glove compartment companion, while others are a bigger commitment. So, be sure to choose the one that works best not just for your wallet, but for your space and time as well.
Here are seven of the best men's grooming kits on the market today.
Beards came back in a big way for men of the 21st century, with whisker enthusiasts rediscovering styles of facial hair that were first pioneered centuries ago. But since post-war America largely shunned everything except the clean-shaven look (except for some ’70s ’staches, of course), most of us weren’t raised with any knowledge regarding the proper tools for beard maintenance.
That's where the Isner Mile Beard Kit comes in, with everything you need to get that beard you've spent months growing to the next level. One of our testers put this kit through the proverbial ringer and dubbed the Isner Mile “vital for a beard (and life) fully realized.”
These are the household tools you might not be familiar with (yet!), but every man needs them. Rugged men don't have to look wild to feel masculine: Trim, pluck, and take care of those rough hands with this kit that features a nail clipper, tweezer, mini scissors, and nail file.
You might not have ever thought twice about your brows and nails, but others will take notice when your look is tight and right with this set from Tweezerman.
There's nothing worse than having to run out to buy grooming essentials on a business trip or being left to use random products in your hotel room on vacation. Stroll through TSA without any worries with this travel-friendly kit from Baxter of California.
The skincare products from Lab Series can sport a heftier price tag than other brands on the market, and it may be easy for some to say, “I’ll just grab something cheaper at the drug store. What’s the difference?” But anyone who's felt the results of these high-quality skincare serums knows the difference, and they could never go back to some lesser, cheaper brands.
That's especially true of the three restoring compounds in the Life of the Party Skin Recovery Set, which includes their gel cleanser, water lotion, and crucially, their energizing face lotion — all of which will not only help your skin recover from a wild night out, but give you a feeling of freshness and buzz of energy for that usually brutal morning after.
A good, fresh shave will make any man feel like a smooth operator. Get acquainted with Art of Shaving’s amazing shaving products in travel size, for a value that saves you $52 instead of buying each item separately.
This set is complete with products to take you from pre-shave to post-shave. In a stellar sandalwood scent, you’ll get a pre-shave oil, shaving cream, and aftershave balm, along with a shaving brush, black dopp kit, and Morris Park razor. Buy this set now, and turn your mug into a grooming masterpiece!
Whether you're extremely hairy or not so much, guys don't have it easy when it comes to keeping themselves well-groomed: Let's not even talk about how hair-raising the sight of nose and ear hair is! It’s Braun to the rescue, with its 8-in-1 grooming kit to trim all hair everything.
You'll get four trimming combs to achieve 13 different hair lengths for your scruff, an ear/nose trimming attachment, a detail trimmer, and a free Gillette razor that can handle any hair needs. From a fully trimmed beard to a fresh, hairless face, the sky's the limit with this Braun multi-grooming kit.
We’re entering a new age in terms of the conversation around men and what’s atop their heads. For a long while, it felt like there were a million products on the market for men with lush, flowing locks, but if you were bald — by nature or by choice— all people had to say was, “Maybe try a hat?”
Now, there are so many products on the market to not only help you maintain a dignified smooth dome, but also help protect your scalp from the elements and rejuvenate the skin. Freedom Grooming's Best Buzz kit includes everything you need for a quality skull-scaping, from pre- and post-shave oils and shaving cream to an impressive FlexSeries Shaver. It even includes some head and body wipes for a quick refresh on the go!
Plus, it all comes neatly packed in a compact kit bag.
