Well, it's official: After much deliberation, you (and roughly every other dude who went through an early-onset quarter-life crisis in quarantine) have made the decision to grow out your beard.
Keeping it looking that way, though, is a whole other story. We already broke down each of the steps required—including all the stuff you'll need to buy—to keep your at-home grooming game on point. But if you're the type of guy who wants to get everything he needs from one place, and wants it now, we've got you covered on that front, too.
The easiest way to cross off each item on your list in one fell swoop? Cop a grooming kit, a pre-packaged bundle of shaving essentials that makes tracking down every product you need an absolute cinch. Any measure that saves even an iota of mental effort is a welcome one these days, and if you're not up to finding all the individual components of your new grooming regimen on your own, I feel you. There's no shame in that. Sure, the right kit might not be the cure-all solution you've been looking for when it comes to permanently putting to rest the deeply felt sense of existential dread that plagues you every night while you toss and turn in bed (I can't be the only one), but it'll go a long way in making a cold, hard world feel slightly less so. Or at least, like, a tiny bit less stressful. I guarantee it.
