Grooming gift sets : BOVEM The Pro Package
Coming from Singapore, the BOVEM brand has nicely created 3 pieces of grooming essentials products for Him and is definitely a suitable and thoughtful gift set for him this Valentine. The Pro Package comes with The Globe Trimmer Package which is essentially a ball trimmer or it also can be used as a body hair trimmer. We have reviewed them here and definitely it worked tremendously well! It is safe to be used with its ceramic blade that does not hurt the skin. Next, we have the Aligned Razor, a quality stainless steel safety razor for his shaving needs. It comes with a razor stand which is subtly important way to organize this piece of grooming product. Lastly, the Orbit Trimmer package, a piece of grooming tool that is seldom mentioned by most guys but it’s one of the most handy and important items. It is skin safe, does not caused any tug and pull. Personally, I think this is one of the most valuable set of grooming gifts, not only because it is affordable, but made of quality material.

Manscaped Refined Cologne
The packaging and design of the product is top notch, feeling very luxurious. With that price point, you could not expect a much better one. In terms of the scent, it’s not overpowering but yet it has the citrusy and masculine scent. It might have a little too much of alcohol but you won’t get tipsy with it. I have tested with my female friends, and they say it deserves to be part of my master list of Best Colognes to Attract Females.
