Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for the bearded bro in your life or are simply looking for something to totally up your shaving game, I’ve come up with some of the coolest shaving kits perfect for just about any guy at at budget.
You know what I hate the most in life? Shaving. There, I said it. However, we all have to do it so you might as well do it right. One of the most popular gift ideas, especially for dad’s, is the classic shaving kit. I’ve even thrown them into a stocking or two around the holidays too. The point is, you typically can’t go wrong with any kind of beard kit, but not every beard is the same.
If you have the kind of beard that won’t really ‘take’ to an electric razor you may want to go old-school. There’s something about a traditional shaving kit that makes me feel like we’re our dad back in the barber shop chair. So why not bring the classic barber shave to your own home?
Most of the kits come with the coolest shaving brushes I’ve ever experienced, super-important beard oils and pre/post shaving balms for my sensitive skin, and some even in travel sizes. When it comes to some of the top brands, you definitely can’t go wrong with The Art of Shaving, Jack Black, and Billy Jealously. I’ve listed out some of my favorites from them below, but also be on the lookout for some other brands that are going gaining traction and you may not have heard of them before.

EDITOR’S PICK
1. The Art of Shaving ”Unscented” Shaving Kit
The Kit Comes With:
- Full Size Pre-Shave Oil
- Full Size Shaving Cream
- Full Size After-Shave Balm
- Full Size Fine Badger Shaving Brush
You can never go wrong with just about anything from The Art of Shaving. They’ve been around for so many years and really are the authority when it comes to high quality shaving equipment at a pretty affordable price. I chose the unscented version because I usually spray on a bit of cologne once I’m done and don’t love the competing scents.
RUNNER UP
2. Jack Black Beard Grooming Kit
The Kit Comes With:
- All-Over Face Wash
- Beard Lube Conditioning Shave
- Beard Oil
- Handcrafted Beard Comb
Jack Black is another top-notch brand that really focuses on quality ingredients that won’t harm your skin. This gift set comes with everything you need for a complete face/maintenance program. Plus, I personally love everything is formulated without parabens, sulfates, fragrances, or colorants.
BEST FOR BEARDS
3. Beard Envy Kit by Billy Jealousy
The Kit Comes With:
- Gentle Beard Wash
- Beard Control Styling Product
- Board Bristle Brush
Some of us want to actually keep our beard, but just don’t want to look like we live in the woods. Billy Jealously is one of the coolest brands I shop from and they make me feel cool too (even though I’m not). This entire set will help to soften and hydrate your beard and the skin beneath your beard, as well as strengthening and conditioning so that you really do look your best.
MOST BUDGET FRIENDLY
4. The Dollar Shave Club Ultimate Trial Kit
The Kit Comes With:
- 6 Blade Trial Set
- Prep Scrub
- Shave Butter
- Post Shave Dew
- Metal Handle With Rubber Grip
One of the best for your buck options, Dollar Shave Club has so many different options for just about any budget – but their prices are always pretty great. This is a great way to try something new without having to commit to giant full-size bottles and products.
LUXURY PICK
5. Bevel Shaving Set
The Kit Comes With:
- Bevel Luxury Safety Razor
- Shave Brush
- Pre-Shave Oil
- Shave Cream
- Post-Shave Balm
- 20 Blades
This one from Bevel is definitely more of a splurge pick. It’s a total shaving luxury brand, but comes with everything you need to get your face in great shape and keep it that way. Plus, it even comes with the premium shave stand – which most others don’t provide. The perfect gift!
BEST FOR EVERYDAY USE
6. Billy Jealousy ‘The Shave Kit’ For Guys
The Shaving Kit Comes With:
- Heating Pre-Shave Treatment
- Super-Slick Shave Cream
- Cooling After Shave
Billy Jealousy made my list twice since my other pick from them was more of a beard maintenance set. This one if more for the guys that are looking to get a great shave.
If you’ve liked this roundup, I’ve also recently recommended a few other things I’m obsessing over lately like some pretty amazing body sprays, the perfect fitting pair of jeans, the only sunglasses you’ll ever need, and even ways to find Creed cologne for pretty cheap (ish). Stop by and check those out if you’re interested!
