Because there's "no coming back from a unibrow," a set of professional-grade slant-tip tweezers is a must for any man with hair follicles above the bridge of his nose, says Stephen J. Praetorius at GQ. "Oh, and put down the razor. That's a mishap waiting to happen." Buy it at Amazon.

3. Philips Norelco Nose Trimmer 5100 ($15)

"The next grooming challenge: nostril fur," says David Yi at Mashable. You shouldn't pluck nose hairs — doing so can lead to infections. Instead, use this efficient trimmer, which won't tug and comes with attachments for the ears, eyebrows, neck, and beard. Buy it at Amazon.

4. Billy Jealousy Beard Wash ($20)

"Studies show that beard hair is like a petri dish, so make sure you wash yours regularly," says Bayley Wright at Men's Health. This specialized wash contains aloe, soy protein, and green tea extract to soften, nourish, and condition your beard. Buy it at Amazon.

5. Philips Norelco Beard Trimmer Series 7200 ($55)

The vacuum in this beard trimmer sucks up as much as 90 percent of trimmed hair for less mess around your sink. The trimmer has self-sharpening blades and 20 settings for different beard lengths. Buy it at Amazon.
