Shaving can be a pleasure or a pain depending on your skin type and whether you’ re using the right products. Elemis Skin Smoothe Shave Gel is a god-sent for any regular traveller looking for a travel shaving balm that’ s gentle and effective. This aloe vera-based gel features soothing micro-capsules of jojoba oil which softens bristles for a smoother, closer shave and a menthol freshness. www. elemis. com

Even after the closest shave, it’ s always good to use an after shave balm to help soothe the skin and reduce irritation. With a soothing, moisturizing formula and an elegant fragrance that the ladies will love, the Bleu De Chanel After-Shave Balm has been specially designed for male skin. Not only does it cool and seal the skin, but it’ s also a great replacement for an eau de toilette for travellers in a rush. www. chanel. com

Men care about anti-aging as well, and although aging in men is more gradual than in women, we still like to look sharp. Sisleyüm For Men Anti-Age Global Revitalizer by Sisley, the brand’ s first ever dedicated male product, offers a complete treatment for men, moisturizing and reducing razor burn, while combating wrinkles and promoting firmer skin. Active ingredients include wild pansy extract, which helps increase skin hydration, sunflower oil and sorbitol, which also help the skin retain moisture, and shea butter and white horehound extract, which reduce irritation. www. sisley. com

The fourth fragrance from the Un Jardin garden-inspired collection, Hermes Un Jardin Sur le Toit or A Garden on the Roof, was launched in 2011 and since then has become a classic fragrance for stylish blokes. Full of aromatic herbal notes, and light, lingering magnolia, basil and rose, the scent is ideally suited for the everyday demands of travel. Composed by Jean-Claude Ellena, Hermes Un Jardin Sur Le Toit is available in heavy glass bottles of light green shades as 50 and 100 ml. www. hermes. com

Recent reports have shown that men are quickly catching up with, and in some cases surpassing women when it comes to purchasing beauty and grooming products. Dedicated to the XYs among us, in this issue we look at our favourite products every bloke should have in his travel toiletry kit.
