13 Best-in-Class Grooming Upgrades, One Unbeatable Price

Our latest limited-edition Box packs a cabinet's worth of editor-favorite essentials into an excellent deal.Alyssa LatellaThe GQ Grooming Reserve Box is your head-to-toe routine, sorted. This limited-edition collection of products is valued at more than $340, but as a GQ reader, it can be yours for just $65 with code GQGROOMING.We’ve long believed that the right grooming products should make getting ready each morning—and winding down each evening—feel more like a ritual than a routine. We also believe that said products shouldn't cost you and arm and a leg—or waste precious AM/PM time in the process. Instead, they should streamline your day-to-day GRWM so you can actually revel in the experience (to say nothing of the results). At least, that’s the thinking behind the carefully-selected assortment of products in our Limited-Edition Grooming Reserve Box. Here’s to looking good, feeling great, and making every second count. —The Editors of GQOh, and if you haven’t subscribed to the GQ Box yet, here’s the gist: every quarter, your friendly neighborhood GQ editors try dozens of products, cherry-pick our absolute favorites, and curate a grab-bag (or, uh, grab-box) of the gear, gadgets, and menswear upgrades we think you'll love, too. Then we ship the whole shebang straight to your door. Nifty, right? You can sign up here.Duke Cannon Solid Cologne Stick in SawtoothWhy You'll Love It: Easy to apply, easy to carry, easy on the nose.
