12 Awesome Manicure Sets for Men to Keep at Home or Take On the Go
Please tell me that you guys already own a manicure set, but you like, lost it, or something. Please. We’re begging.
If you aren’t already taking care of your nails as a full-fledged male adult, excuse us while we gag. What’s your excuse? There is none. You NEED to keep those fingernails of yours in tiptop shape, especially in this day and age where we are hyper focused on killing any germs our hands come in contact with. The number of germs that collect under and around your nails daily is damn near disturbing, not to mention the accumulated grime feels gross, so you need a men’s manicure set to practice good hygiene ASAP.

What’s included in a men’s manicure set?
A good manicure set for men doesn’t have to break the bank and typically comes with numerous grooming tools for your fingernails, toenails and even some tools that’ll clean up your face a bit.
Though you certainly don’t need all the nail tools, you do need some of them and they’re all great to have (and don’t usually jack up the price of the manicure kit much either).
Here are some of the most common tools and what they do:
Fingernail clippers and toenail clippers: Fingernail clippers will be smaller and toenail clippers will be larger.
Cuticle clippers: These are used to clip away skin from the cuticle.
Nail file: A nail file, as its name suggests, files down the edges of nails after cutting. Nail files, at least in men’s manicure sets, are frequently stainless steel and often include a rough side and a fine side.
Cuticle pusher: This tool usually features two ends, one like a spoon and another like a chisel or arrowhead, meant to push cuticle skin up toward the root. Sometimes there are two one-ended tools in men’s manicure sets instead. When using any pusher tool, be sure to soften your fingernails with a warm bath or shower first for optimal nail grooming.
V-shaped cuticle pusher: This tool uses a V-shaped head with internal blades to efficiently remove excess cuticle skin or other dead skin.
Tweezers: Tweezers are just generally useful for personal care, if not necessarily for nails. But even a cheap pair could help in random manicure situations. More likely, you can use them to remove ingrown hairs or groom your eyebrows.
Scissors: Usually you get one pair of typical mini scissors and sometimes the tips are rounded. Though you could use them on fingernails or skin, they’re mostly useful for trimming hair.
Blackhead/acne tool: This typically takes the form of a needle to loosen skin but can also have a loop end for actually extracting the pimple.
Ear pick / ear spoon: This is definitely not for a manicure set for men, but, like tweezers, ear picks or ear spoons are generally useful and included. As the name suggests, an ear pick features a spoon-like end to help scrape and scoop out ear wax. (As a rule though, here’s our first and final warning to not go sticking stuff in your ear when there are safer ways to clean your ears.)
All things considered, whatever you’re trying to do to your fingers and fingernails, a good manicure kit for men will feature the nail tools and grooming tools to take your personal care to the next level.
Read on and discover the best men’s manicure set to keep your hands looking and feeling clean for years to come.

6. Rockwell Razors Manicure Set
BEST FIVE-PIECE SET
While four-piece sets are great and all, we are totally the type of people that need a separate toenail clipper from our fingernail clippers. Not only is it more hygienic, but having a larger clipper is more appropriate for taking on the larger nails that tend to grow low. This five-piece set from Rockwell Razors is complete with everything your typical four-piece set has, with just an additional toenail clipper for those low hangers. It’s completely easy to pack or store away in your bathroom for safekeeping.
