New York-based Truman’s Gentlemen’s Groomers is the barber you wish you had wherever it is you live (unless, of course you happen to live in NYC). The company was launched by three professionals who wanted a luxurious grooming experience without having to go to a female-centric salon. Their solution was to create a masculine enclave dedicated to the delivery of exceptional men’s barbering and salon services.
Truman’s is modern and manly without being kitschy or overdone.
Haircut, shave, beard trim? Got it. Manicure, pedicure, or a facial? Sure, got that too. And, you can get a top-notch shoe shine while you’re at it. Truman’s focuses on a quality experience for all customers, finished off with satisfying extras like adult premium beverages and comfortable furnishings. Every detail is considered, and that goes for their grooming products too.
If you are unable to visit either of their New York locations, fear not; they have a great selection that really does live up to the demanding expectations of our readers – and their everyday customers. While you can track down a wide range of individual grooming product choices that can easily be delivered to your door, we’re particular fans of the Truman’s Holiday Dopp Kit.
It’s packed with the Truman’s Shave Regimen (featuring the brand’s Facial Scrub, Shave Cream, and Aftershave Balm) and comes in a rugged Dopp Kit travel bag.
This combo will help dads look just as sharp as wearing their favorite tie or shirt, yet it’s got an everyday utility. The Kit retails for $99, while other handy all-in-one packages from the brand, including the Face Regimen, retail for $50 on-sale.
We have field tested most of the Truman’s line, including the brass-zippered Dopp Kit, and can attest to the quality and reliability of the range – and, it all smells pretty great too. Like your favorite library, bourbon bar, and barbershop all rolled into one.
While we found each of their products to be top-notch, a few that were team favorites include the shave cream, after-shave balm, and hair paste. And the bag; everyone loved the bag. Check out the giant bulldog logo in the photo below.
