Curly haired dudes have a lot to deal with, and it doesn't end with what's on top. Facial scruff can also prove problematic, especially when it comes to ingrown hairs.

You can thank Tristan Walker and his Bevel shaving line, which is designed to address the perils of shaving coarse, curly hair. The star product is a double-edge safety razor that does the job without overcutting, thereby reducing the likelihood of ingrowns. When used with Bevel's specially formulated accoutrements—pre-shave oil, exfoliating badger brush and shave cream, and hydrating balm—those who have felt the pain of the blade will think of their curls as less of a curse.
