As a grooming editor, I'd shop these 5 Black Friday grooming deals today
Before I reviewed tech products for Mashable, I reviewed grooming tech for magazines like GQ. And while I'm now more likely to review the newly updated Apple Vision Pro than a new beard trimmer, I still pride myself on my grooming. Hey — everyone has to have a hobby, and I've made a lot of money off my beard over the years.
Usually, my friends and family don't start asking me for shopping recommendations until Thanksgiving, but this year, Black Friday started early. With all the major retailers hosting Black Friday sales, you can safely start crossing items off your holiday shopping list. As of Tuesday, Nov. 25, I'm seeing some fantastic early Black Friday grooming deals already live.
A lot of my favorite grooming and skincare products are on sale, and I don't expect the prices to get any lower as we approach Black Friday itself. So, whether you're trying to improve your own grooming game or shopping for a boyfriend, husband, brother, or dad, let me recommend some early deals worth shopping today.
Crest 3D Whitestrips
Before you take the plunge and pay for professional teeth whitening, try this popular Crest whitening kit. These teeth whitening strips always go on sale for Black Friday, and they're a classic Black Friday deal for a reason — they really work. Take it from a former smoker and current coffee lover, they can provide a noticeable whitening effect for a lot less money (and pain) than you'd get at a dental spa.
The Flaus electric flosser
I've always been pretty lackadaisical about flossing. Sue me. And that's why this electric flosser is on my own personal Christmas wish list this year. This flosser comes highly recommended: It's one of Oprah's Favorite Things of 2025. It's also got a Black Friday discount that makes it much more affordable. This starter kit comes with the handle and enough refills to keep you flossing for months.
My personal favorite beard trimmer
I've been raving about Panasonic's Multishape trimmer and shaver ever since it first came out. This incredibly versatile grooming product comes with swappable heads, and with the right attachments, it can be an electric toothbrush, beard trimmer, electric shaver, nose and ear hair trimmer, body groomer, hair clipper, facial brush, and more. This starter kit from Amazon is a smart gift idea, as it comes with everything you need to shave and trim your beard.
If you're shopping for a guy who needs a new beard trimmer, I highly recommend the Multishape, especially when it's on sale. This is the trimmer and shaver I use every day, and it's lasted me for years without any issues. I haven't even mentioned the fact that it's fully waterproof and cordless. You can also see all of the attachments at the Panasonic online store.
A red-light therapy eye mask
I've always struggled with eye bags, puffiness, and dark circles — it's my genes. But while I've been curious about trying LED light therapy masks for a long time, I really don't need the full Hannibal Lecter mask. I really just need therapy around my eyes, which is why I've been so excited about the Luminator LED Eye Mask from Lumin.
Lumin was one of the first brands to offer products specifically for men's skincare needs, and I've had good experiences with their products before. This is at the top of my Christmas list this year, and it's currently on sale for under $100. If you're searching for holiday gifts for men, pick this up while it's only $79.99. This LED mask has never been priced this low — thank you, Black Friday.
A Tushy bidet
I think a lot of people resist buying a bidet because they think it will be too complicated to install, but fortunately, that's not actually the case. Unless you invest in an incredibly fancy, Japanese-style electric bidet with hot water and white-noise capabilities, most bidets are easy to install. Tushy's non-electric bidets can be set up with little to no DIY experience, and so there's no reason not to invest in a cleaner tush, especially when they're on sale.
This is another classic Black Friday deal, and it's the type of product that will make you think, "How did I ever live without it?"
