Top Shelf: The 9 Grooming Products We're Excited About Right Now

It's a grooming editor's job to try all the things. That's the gig. So each month, I test every new lotion, serum, shampoo, and everything else you can think of that promises to change your grooming game. It's a hard job, but somebody has to do it. Frankly, a lot of the new products that come my way don't pass muster. But some of them are so good that I wind up using them regularly—and wanting to tell people about them. Which brings us to this, the first edition of Esquire's new column Top Shelf. There's no theme other than "this is the good stuff," and a new edition of it will come out monthly. To kick things off, I've selected the nine new products that have earned a permanent place in my medicine cabinet—and might just deserve a spot in yours, too.
