It’s Time to Upgrade Your Grooming Tools

As we have previously covered, the best electric trimmers and toothbrushes bring unrivaled convenience and efficiency for trimming body hair or keeping your teeth sparkling clean. However, traditional manual tools are simply the way to go for precise grooming needs such as nail clipping, beard or eyebrow trimming, and of course, combing your hair. You get what you pay for, and just like the $5 drugstore clippers will do the trick, investing in well-made manual tools, often from brands who have been constructing them for generations, will pay off in the long run, not to mention likely adding some design flair to your grooming cabinet.

These grooming tools are a sample of some of the best in the market, and while their cost may initially seem high, they are a worthwhile investment. These premium tools are designed to last a significant time; with proper care, many can last a lifetime.

Since then, it has been home to cigar makers, shipbuilders, smugglers and pirates. Many of these pirates have been of the literary variety: Truman Capote lived and worked here. John Do Passos. Tennessee Williams. As did, famously, the great white whale of American literature, Ernest Hemingway, who once called the island the “St. Tropez of the poor.
