Father’s Day is just around the corner. As always, it's the perfect opportunity to celebrate the dads, granddads, stepdads, uncles, and even mentors in our lives who have made us the people we are today. They have moulded and shaped us, not just with their wisdom and patience, but also with practical life lessons, such as how to tie a tie for school or the proper way to shave. For many of us, our first shaving experience came after receiving some core advice passed down through the male line of our family.
This year, you can give back to the men who matter most in our lives with a gift that resonates with those classic fatherly traditions. Whether he’s a traditionalist who enjoys the art of the shave or a minimalist who appreciates premium grooming tools, we’ve created a thoughtful list of grooming gifts to suit every kind of dad.
These are just a few of the great gifts you can find for your dad on the Blades and Whiskers site. And if none of the below tick the right boxes, we’re sure you can find something else that will bring a smile to his face on this special day of the year.
