Here are a few simple guidelines on how to prepare and impress this Valentine’s Day and no we are not talking chocolates and flowers. We’re talking about YOU because no matter the gifts, the meal, the sweet talk if you’re not looking hot it’s, basically a ‘so what?’.
The morning ritual
Start your Valentine’s Day routine by exfoliating and shaving – try Milkman Grooming Co’s new Clear Shave Gel for a cleaner cooler, closer shaving experience without irritation. You don’t want your skin to look raw or irritated, or worse still marked with cuts and razor rash on the big day. The product is water-based not soap based, so it doesn’t dry your skin and allows for the blade to glide across your face with minimal resistance. It’s peppermint and menthol fragrance serves to invigorate your sense of smell and touch with a soothing freshness on the skin, that keeps your face feeling cool before, during and after you shave. RRP $25 – so ladies – you might consider gifting this if you want your man to look cool for and post Valentine’s Day!
For those with beards and facial hair – fear not there are a few products from Milkman Grooming Co that will keep you looking fresh between the ears. When it comes to beard grooming the three most important factors of maintenance are: washing, nourishing and styling. Start with Milkman’s Coco-Fresh 2 in1 Beard Shampoo & Conditioner. Its foam contains a coconut-based soap that helps to clean built-up gunk and debris without stripping too much of your skin’s natural oils. Now you can have a clean beard that feels soft and healthy. RRP $24. To nourish, try Coco-Fresh 50ml Beard Oil, RRP $32. What’s the point of having a beard if it is dry, brittle and irritating right? A beard is something that should be enjoyed, and there is nothing more enjoyable than stroking a soft luscious beard. Milkman’s complex formulation of botanical ls will impregnate and coat your hair making it soft like a feather. Not only will this keep it feeling good, it will also be easier to style.
There is also the new Milkman Coco-Fresh Beard Balm, the third and final addition to their hugely-popular Coco-Fresh range exclusive to Shaver Shop. Like the Coco-Fresh 50ml Beard Oil and the Coco-Fresh 2 in1 Beard Shampoo & Conditioner, the Coco-Fresh Beard Balm boasts a tropical coconut fragrance that compliments the warmer weather we are currently enjoying. Especially created to condition and nourish hair follicles, Milkman’s new Coco-Fresh Beard Balm can alleviate beard itch, split ends, and dryness all while adding a scent of summer to invigorate the senses. Your beard will look and feel healthy without a greasy finish! The Coco-Fresh Beard-Balm has an RRP of $34, which is quite generous considering the tin’s 60ml size. It’s a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day if only for yourself. Check the range at Shaver Shop’s website or at your local Shaver Shop retailer.

Other Tips and Tricks for Valentine’s Day
Down Under! Don’t let your underwear be your downfall whether you’re a brief or a boxer guy. Buy new, the best you can afford and nothing gimmicky – yes we know it’s Valentine’s day but NO HEARTS!
Dress to impress; pressed jeans, a long sleeved shirt (boys there is nothing sexy about a short sleeved shirt – if you’re hot, roll them up – but then again try not to). Wear a jacket if you’ve booked a formal restaurant. And the rest they say is up to you…
