Who's best in men's grooming? AskMen has announced the winners of the first annual AskMen Grooming Awards, which "recognize and celebrate the most effective and popular products on the market."
One hundred products across 10 categories were evaluated by AskMen's expert panel comprising celebrity barber Thaddeus Jayaseelan, fragrance psychology expert Jason Nik, grooming editor Ahmed Zambarakji, and writers Jennifer Ryan Jones, Alex Bracetti, Adam Hurly and Charlotte Picotte Williams.
During a two-week voting phase, AskMen readers were asked to vote for their favorite products in order to crown the Readers' Choice winners.
"With the Grooming Awards, we've built a franchise geared towards helping men choose and purchase the best grooming products for them," said Ryan Johnson, general manager at AskMen.
