Male grooming can be an expensive habit, as I’m sure you’re well aware. All those products, clothes and accessories cost some serious money. The modern man is inundated with lotions and potions. We’ve all become victims of consumerism, and yet we can’t seem to help ourselves. As far as we’re concerned, you can’t put a price on looking your best, can you?
We’re not too worried about our priorities. Of course, there are more important things to worry about than a perfectly trimmed beard. That doesn’t mean you should neglect your appearance, though. Far from it. I speak from experience when I say there’s nothing worse than discovering your bank balance is dwindling at the same rate as your products. Uh oh, what are you going to do?
Going out into the open world without looking sharp is almost unthinkable. What if you were to meet the girl of your dreams looking like a caveman? The good news is that you don’t need to. If you’re struggling to fund your superficial side, don’t worry. You have options, and GroomingMail is here to share them.
Compromise on Price, Not Quality
The temptation to shop around for the best products can be overwhelming, but that’s the quickest way to see your wallet empty before your eyes. You’d be surprised by how some of the ‘lesser’ brands actually deliver when it really matters.
You don’t need to pay for the best all the time. As a matter of fact, more often than not you’re paying for brand recognition alone. Don’t fall into this trap. For the most part, they’re all going to do the same job when it’s all said and done. Try out some of the cheaper brands and you may find one that works for you.
Look at Finance Options
You might think that credit is a fool’s game, and in many ways it is. Getting behind on your repayments is a sure fire way to screw your life up. If you’re sensible, though, you don’t need to take that risk.
Grooming products can be expensive. There’s just no getting around that. If you can’t afford to buy something outright, finance options may ease the burden somewhat. Check out catalogues with credit options and see what they have on offer. You might surprise yourself.
Just make sure you don’t miss a payment!
Make Acquaintances with Your Barber
Men’s hair is naturally unruly. We’ve got quite the task on our hands making sure it’s tamed. We all need to shave, trim, and get our hair cut regularly to keep us looking our best. When money is tight, you might struggle to justify a trip to the barber.
With a little foresight, you can avoid that. Your barber should be your best friend. If you’re not on “the usual, please” terms with him yet, make sure you get there sharpish. Be friendly and courteous. This guy is your secret weapon to looking great. You never know, you might find yourself the welcome recipient of a discount or two. That’ll go some way to saving you money.
