Groom for the fool!

New year, new you! Smarten yourself up in 2009 with these grooming essentials

1 Panasonic ES8249 Tech-packed and washable, with a “state-of-the-art Nano-Edge-Blade Multi-Arc-Foil” (whatever that means), the ES8249 is a beardy fellows dream.

2 Acqua di Parma Colonia Don’t like the feel of foil on your face, try out this old-school razor. Beautifully understated and chic, it comes with a stand and hails from Italy. And they’re really hairy there, so it must be good.

3 Oral B Triumph with SmartGuide This tech-toothbrush has SmartGuide to make sure all your teeth get brushed thoroughly. It’s essentially a satnav for your mouth. Your teeth will be looking pearly white in time. That’s what our nan used to say anyway.

4 Philips Bodygroom+ If you look more like a gorilla than a man, then check out this updated version of the device that started the craze for shaving, ahem, “sensitive bodyzones.” You’ll be as hairless as the day you were born in no time.

5 Remington PG400 This little trimmer will deal with the areas that require a bit more sculpting, from your Del Piero sideburns, to your Craig David beard, to your Dennis Healy eyebrows, to, erm, downstairs.
