Here are seven awesome picks to keep you looking, smelling, and feeling good. An added bonus? All of the below brands are BIPOC founded, owned and/or operated.
You’re welcome.
BEVEL
This complete shave kit system is revolutionary. Created specifically for men of color, the system developed a cult following partly for its minimization of ingrown hairs and unsightly bumps which plague many with higher concentrations of melanin in their skin. The sleek packaging doesn’t hurt either.
