Meet The Grooming Awards Committee
It takes a village to vote on great grooming products. Here are our helpers.
To spotlight the winners of Fatherly’s Grooming Awards, we enlisted 10 of the industry’s top men’s grooming experts to nominate their favorite skin, hair, body, scent, and shave products. From seasoned writers to style experts, our Grooming Awards Committee knows about the absolute best products on the market and the ones that stand out from the rest — not to mention what dads need (there are a baker’s dozen children fathered by this group). After the judges made their nominations, Fatherly’s editorial team determined the winners based on function, efficacy, and design. Below, get to know the Fatherly Grooming Awards Committee.
