You try to play it cool, but we know: Staying handsome is just as important to men as staying beautiful is to women. We have, however, noticed that locating the most effective eyelash curler is much easier than finding the sharpest razor. So in the interest of making the world more beautiful, we’ve put together some of autumn’s most groom-worthy guy products, so you can stay dapper in Denver all season long.

Get Close
Hommage Monaco Groom Center
For the man who lives every element of his life in luxury, the Hommage groom center is perfect. Made from highly polished stainless steel and individually handcrafted, this razor isn’t just a shave; it’s a status symbol. The matching badger-hair brush makes for the best lather, and the razor’s sleek design allows for the closest shave. Trust us; your face hasn’t been this smooth since before you hit puberty. $450

Night Bloomer
Cereus Pour Homme No. 11 Of the Cereus product line (comprised of No.’s 4, 5, 7 and 11), this blend of juniper berry, wood and cracked black pepper was a good complement for the guys in our office, but the entire range of this cologne is equally impressive. This new company, launched in 2007, is named after a specific species of night-blooming cactus found in southern Arizona and is guaranteed to prick the interest of any woman close enough to care. $125

No-Bake Bronze
Alba Botanica
Very Emollient Bronzing Formula
As we’ve been warned to wean ourselves from harmful tanning beds, we’ve been scouting alternative ways to get that sun-kissed, just-back-from-Mexico glow. Some men might scoff at self-tanner, but even though skin cancer is out, pale has never been in. Alba Botanica has created an emollient bronzing formula made from shea butter and sweet almond oil, so you stay smooth, fragrant and radiantly tan. $14.50

Crystal Clear
Alford & Hoff Microdermabrasion
From the first line of men’s luxury skin care products, Microdermabrasion’s (not exactly our favorite word) tiny diamond-shaped crystals work to even skin tone and help reduce gradual lines of aging. The result of repeated use: A polished complexion and a postponed mid-life crisis. $85

Street Swagger
Coach Legacy Leather Medium Duffle
From Coach’s 2008 line, this genuine leather fabric-lined bag is a must for the professional on the go. With two open side pockets, zip-top closure and enough space to fit a collage of toiletries — we love the antique brass pieces and chic Madison Avenue style — this bag makes us feel retro, a bit metro and first class at the same time. $798
