At what point does a bathroom counter stop being a bathroom counter and become prime real estate? We’re not sure exactly when it happened, but somewhere between the rise of skincare TikTok, niche fragrances, and men realizing moisturizer wasn’t optional, dads got into grooming. Really into grooming. The kind of into grooming where there’s a dedicated serum for every concern, a preferred barber booked three weeks in advance, and enough products scattered across the sink to make airport security nervous.
Whether he’s refining his signature scent, upgrading his skincare lineup, or treating his morning routine like a competitive sport, these are the best gifts for the dad with an unbeatable grooming routine.
