The male grooming industry is on the verge of a significant transformation, with projections estimating its worth to reach a staggering $85 billion by 2032. As we witness this evolution, it’s clear that traditional grooming habits are being replaced by a more sophisticated approach to personal care.

The shift in men’s grooming

Gone are the days when men relied solely on three-in-one soaps and rushed out of the shower. Today’s consumers are seeking tailored products that cater to their unique skin types and grooming needs. Whether dealing with dry skin, oily skin, or a combination of both, men are now investing in specialized products that enhance their grooming routines.

One of the most notable trends in men’s grooming is the rise of beard care. The beard craze has become a lifestyle choice for many, leading to an increased demand for products that not only maintain the beard’s health but also provide comfort. Itchy beards can be tamed with moisturizing balms that offer hydration without being overly greasy, ensuring a fresh and subtle scent throughout the day. Brands like Bevel have established themselves as leaders in this space, offering reliable clippers and grooming tools that cater specifically to Black men’s grooming needs.

Celebrities influencing the grooming market

The growing focus on grooming among Black men has inspired numerous celebrities to launch their own product lines. These stars are not just influencers; they are reshaping the market with offerings designed to help every generation smell great and feel confident. This trend highlights the importance of representation in the grooming industry, as more Black men are taking charge of their grooming narratives.

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hardwicke’s of California, a men’s grooming brand focused on California-made craftsmanship, has announced the launch of its new shaving product line, accompanied by a “slow shave” philosophy. The approach encourages a deliberate and mindful shaving experience using traditional tools and techniques.

The concept of “slow shaving” centers on replacing disposable razors and aerosol shaving foams with safety razors and brush-applied creams. Rather than viewing shaving as a hurried routine, the method emphasizes intention and focus, aligning with broader trends in mindful self-care.

Founder Mark Hardwicke developed the line to support this methodical approach. The newly released Brush-Style Shaving Creams ($58), which are 77% organic, are designed to be compatible with all wet shaving razors. The products are produced in San Rafael, California, using traditional soap-making techniques and include ingredients such as pine rosin, meadowfoam seed oil, and glycerin. The creams are available in four California-inspired scents: Sopa De Lima, Panamint, 1847, and Native State.

According to the company, the formulation is designed to produce a dense, cushiony lather aimed at providing a smooth, irritation-reducing shave. The launch aligns with an increasing consumer interest in more intentional, less disposable grooming routines.

Hardwicke’s of California will offer a 20% discount during its Black Friday Sale, from November 28 through December 1, using the code BF20.

About Hardwicke’s of California

Hardwicke’s of California is a men’s self-care brand dedicated to elevating everyday grooming through high-quality, California-made products. With a focus on craftsmanship, mindfulness, and locally sourced ingredients, the company aims to redefine the shaving experience for the modern man.
