We're giving this grooming an A+ for packaging. It is uniquely disguised as a reading book, which makes for a great display and gifting opportunity. But inside contains two of the brand's classics: their 3-in-1 wash and grit bar. Both of which are soothing, addicting and great-smelling.

But now, the beloved cream comes in a mega version so you will always have enough product in your jar.
