SHOP: Supplies and tools from around the region for the well-groomed groom
Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. Even seemingly low-maintenance groomsto-be should stock up on the right products that will leave you wedding-photo ready. These six locally made products, from a refreshing hard-milled soap to luxury shaving tools, are sure to leave gents clean, fresh-faced, and ready for not only the big event but happily ever after.
BEARD BUTTER
Beards come in all shapes and styles, and Soulita’s Beard Butter with raw cocoa butter provides extra hold without added stiffness. In addition, it keeps flyaways and frizz in-check while not weighing hair down. Did we mention no dyes, organic, vegan, and eco-friendly? Find at Soulita, Providence
BEARD OIL
Keep your whiskers looking and smelling good with Bob’s Big Beard Oil, which contains a mix of sweet almond, grapeseed and argan oils, and nourishing vitamin E. A few drops keeps scruff soft while moisturizing skin underneath. Available in Cliff Walk, Smooth Sailing, and Summer Mountain. Find at Newport Seafoam Trading, Newport
CLOSE SHAVE
Skip the barber appointment and get an ultra-smooth shave in the comfort of your own home with a restored vintage or new razor from Foster-based Griffith Shaving Goods. All razors arrive in shave-ready condition and start at $89 depending on the type of blade and handle. Shop online at GriffithShavingGoods.com
FACE CREAM
Give skin extra TLC with this new face cream specifically formulated for men. Just a dab of Bro Hydraglow Facial Moisturizer addresses fine lines and wrinkles, pore size, and in-grown hairs thanks to vitamin C, gentle alpha hydroxy acids, and salicylic acid from white willow tree bark. Find at The Peyton Co., Warren
FRESH SCENT
No matter the venue, outdoorsy grooms will love the fresh scent of Lightfoot’s Pine Soap. Made in Rhode Island, this hand-milled, all-natural soap evokes walking through a pine grove and keeps skin moisturized all day. Bonus: it lasts in your soap dish without dissolving. Find at Beauty and the Bath, Wickford
HAND SCRUB
Get your mitts in tip-top shape for those closeup hand-holding photos by incorporating Mackenzie’s Fisherman Hand Scrub into your routine. This high-performing product exfoliates dead skin and cleanses with finely ground walnut husk, lemon essential oils, and moisturizing cocoa butter, leaving hands smooth and soft. Find at Blount Market, Warren
