Chris Beastall is one of the most widely-respected grooming writers in the industry, thanks to his deep storytelling and beautifully shoppable site, founded in 2009. He’s expanded the site to cover watches, tech and even performance wear, but super-luxe products are still the core of this go-to.
Aussie Jason Neo’s blog may be a baby, relative—he launched in July of 2015—but it’s already one of the best and most read. We love his honest, easy-to-digest reviews and the fact that he posts so damn much. He works hard and plays hard, though, so he’ll tell you what to put on your face in the morning and what to drink at night.
This is the grooming blog for dudes whose wishlists include “Vintage Land Rover, brand new Mercedez, Ferragamo loafers” in addition to great skin—the man who wants to, and can, live the good life. Thom Watson will tell you what fragrance, skincare and bathroom cabinet accoutrement you need right now.
Great writers usually need two things: an area of expertise and a real sense of the culture around them. Carlos, the lifestyle and grooming writer at Birchbox has both in spades. He’s just as likely to share his favorite undereye concealer or barber shop tips as he is foodie recommendations in New York. His feed is one to check any time of day.
