Shaving Made Easy with Grooming Lounge

Editor’s note: This post is sponsored by Grooming Lounge, ready to meet all your shaving needs with skincare, hair care, and more.  

My husband is a cook in the Army, which means a hit time before the sun comes up on most days. Because he also values every bit of sleep he can get, he gets everything ready the night before, so to facilitate his streamlined morning routine. This includes a morning shave.

He’s one of those men who can’t get away with skipping a day. Even if he starts his workday fresh-faced, he has a 5 o’clock shadow by the time he leaves the DFAC at the end of the day.

Since he has to shave so frequently and has dry skin, he’s careful, even cautious, about the products he uses on his skin.

He also tends to stick with what he knows.

When he discovered that lotion works well for his face, he found one he liked and has used that same one for at least the seven years we’ve been together.

I know these things about him.

But I also know he doesn’t spoil himself.

Ever.

That’s where I come in! And what better time to get him something practical, that’s higher quality than what he would get himself, than when I’m preparing a care package?

I’d been researching shaving kits and products, when I came across Grooming Lounge.

I perused their website and was struck first by the mission: “Elevate Men’s Handsomeness & Confidence Through Superior Men’s Grooming Products & Services.”

This is right up my husband’s alley. Yes, he takes pride in his appearance for himself but also as a soldier.

The Soldier’s Creed states, “I always maintain my arms, my equipment, and myself.”

To help him maintain himself during this deployment and to give him a refresh, I’m sending him the Super Powder to soothe his feet and the Beard Destroyer Shave Cream.

I scrolled the site one last time before I checked out, and came across The Balm. My husband keeps lip balm in at least one pocket at all times, one in the car, one in his bag… It’s his must-have. A closer look told me it’s spearmint scented, and he’s not a fan of any mint flavored or scented things. 

Bummer. That is, until I typed lip balm into the site search bar and found another option: Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Balm.  Something I know he’ll appreciate. Add to cart!

The Grooming Lounge website includes a Subscribe and Save option. This is perfect for our deployment season. When my husband finds a favorite among these products and wants more (I’m betting on the lip balm), I can get it auto-shipped! Better still, they offer APO/FPO delivery and a military discount. Here’s how you can obtain 10% off  Grooming Lounge orders for life.

Since I ordered at the beginning of November, there should be enough time for the products to get to me, so I can add them to my husband’s Christmas care package, and send it on to him.

I can’t wait to hear what he thinks.

But I’m even more eager for him to bring them home to use them here every day!
