Special dads deserve more than the standard bar soap routine. From rugged to refined, we rounded up some of our favorite, think-outside-the-box products for all the dads who could use a bit of pampering.
1. For the dad on the go:
This “head, shoulders, knees and toes” wash from natural brand Triumph & Disaster ($49 at triumphanddisaster.com) packs a lot of clean into one no-frills pump. Ingredients like argan oil, vitamin E and rosewood add a soothing element.
2. For the no-fuss father:
With the mantra, “keep it simple,” Joe’s Grooming proves that no-fuss doesn’t have to mean no fun. This foaming scrub ($16 at joegrooming.com) in particular boasts refreshing peppermint for a seriously cool — and slightly tingly — frothy clean.
3. For the outdoorsy-dad:
Scoop up this manly, deep-cleansing bar from rustic brand Portland General Store ($13 at portlandgeneralstore.com). While he manages to remain his rugged demeanor, his skin will be left feeling oh-so-soft with this pumice-infused bar.
4. For the Mr. Sophisticated pops:
Give him something to gush about with this retro-looking shave tonic from Baxter of California ($15 at baxterofcalifornia.com). The science-driven men’s brand infused the formula with menthol, eucalyptus and spearmint for a truly sensory experience.
5. For the tattooed dude:
You should consider this ink-friendly kit from Billy Jealousy ($40 at billyjealousy.com). It contains wash, lotion and solve for properly cleaning and preserving the inks that mean so much to him.
6. For the hippie in your house:
Remind him of his Woodstock days with this cannabis-scented, all-in-one wash from apothecary Malin + Goetz ($22 at malinandgoetz.com). If he wants to really take a trip down memory lane, it can also be used to create a soothing bubble bath.
7. For the old-school father figure:
Turn him into a smooth operator (at least when it comes to shaving) with this pre-shave formula from “old-school charm” brand Crown Shaving Co. ($30 at crownshavingco.com). It will help reduce nicks and razor burn and leave him with a fresh, yet still gender-neutral, scent.
8. For the warm and fuzzy types:
Indulge the fuzzy father with this luxury set from Captain Fawcett ($156 at westcoastshaving.com), featuring masculine-scented parfum, beard oil and strong-hold moustache wax in three different scents.
