Every man has their morning ritual. For many it consists of the simple “Tripple S”- Sh**, Shower, and Shave. Well, two gentleman have started a simple line of men’s grooming products that supports every step of the Triple S routine. Their company is called Ritual and they’re offering to giveaway $80 of their product to one lucky Art of Manliness reader.
Here’s what’s up for grabs in this contest:
The Kit- a $79 value
The Kit is Ritual’s entire line of products in a nice wooden box, branded with their ultra-cool old-school moustached man.The Kit includes the following products:
- Nature Calls Toilet Deodorizer Drops. This is for the first S of the Triple S. Just two drops obliterate odor. The woman in your life will definitely appreciate this.
- Trifecta Face, Body, and Hair Wash. The guys at ritual understand men like things simple. That’s why they formulated a product that can be used as face, body, and hair wash. One bottle and you’re good to go.
- The Whip Shaving Cream. A nice rich lathering cream that will feel really nice to apply with your badger brush. Contains aloe, and lidocaine to reduce burning and redness from shaving.
- The Balm Post Shave Gel. The Tea Tree Oil and Witch Hazel will continue to work throughout the day (or night) to soothe your skin and prevent irritation from shaving. It’s the perfect ending to your routine.
- Razor Rinse Shaving Blade Antiseptic. Use Razor Rinse on your razor before shaving to kill the bacteria that causes razor burn and bumps. This is a really cool product. While most shaving products work on treating razor burn and bumps after you shave, Razor Rinse prevents irritation before you even lay the cold steel blade to your face.
The guys at Ritual are also throwing in a few Razor Rinses to giveaway to runner-ups. So, if you don’t win the big prize, you still have a chance to walk away with something. Very nice.

@ Charlie-
2 hours! Yikes. Just out of curiousity where are you comuting to and from? I’m assuming it’s somewhere in PA.
haha, my ritual is:
Barely wake up. Shave. Take a dump. Shower and brush teeth in the shower.
I wake up first trying to recall what hotel, what city, and what time is my van ride to the airport. Once all that’s figured out its time to get rid of the morning brew, thunder, and gremlin, then into the shower, utilize the free hotel soap and shampoo, less for me to carry every day. Then its a shave. From there its putting repacking my stuff, putting on the uniform, and going downstairs to catch the van, hoping that breakfast is out a bit early or else I may not get a chance to eat for a long time. Van ride to the airport kicks off the rest of the day, all the way to the next hotel.
Morning ritual consists of getting out of the house ASAP before the noise starts. I operate better alone till about 9
Seems normal to me for a Man to prepare himself for the day’s activities, etc.
However, what I don’t understand is why this contest information is so out of date being that it closed July & we are now in August? Or do you guys over in USA work on a different date?
Thoughts’ anyone…?

@Mike-
We ran this contest last month. It has indeed concluded.
0500 – wake up
- 0505- breakfast/ proitien shake
- 0510- shower and shave ( mirror in shower)
- 0520- press uniform
- 0530- hair done, shoes shined
- 0535- feed fish/ kiss wife good bye
-0545 – leave for work and face the day!/ take on the world!
Get up, Feed the animals, walk the dog, then get coffee
I’ll wake up to the sound of classical music on the clock radio, rise from the bed and do a few “warrior” stretches that I learned back in my youth. Padding across the room to the closet and dresser, I select my clothing. I’ll take a lukewarm shower, then shave and groom in a way that would make my great grandfather who owned a barber shop in Poughkeepsie proud. Dressing in my teacher outfit I’ll go downstairs to start the coffee and make some simple breakfast. like fruit and toast. I remember to brush my teeth and then, If time permits, I’ll join my wife midway through her own morning ritual for a spot of coffee before heading out to my teaching position and she to her work as a nurse.
Morning sex and a bloody mary is the only way to start a day.
I start by throwing the closest thing I can grab at my alarm clock, which sometimes has an unfortunate result, then I wipe the crust out of my eyes, nudge the one sleeping next to me out of the way as I scratch my butt on the way to the bathroom, look in the mirror and recite my personal mantra, brush my teeth, grab my sharp razor and attach the stubble on my face which is an act of faith that I don’t fall asleep in the process, turn on the shower to let the water warm, wash, rinse and repeat. Jump out apply styling product, get dressed to impress and greet the day with bravado.
delay waking up as long as possible, get up have some coffee and eggs, shower, brush, shave, begin a day of greatness
Wake up at 4:30 AM. Brush my teeth. Get into work out clothes. Go for a 3 mile run or 1 hour of gym time depending on the day in my rotation. Come home by 6. Three S’s. Eat breakfast. Get into my Army Suit (Uniform). Kiss the dog, yell at the kids, and kick the wife (maybe that’s not right). Go to work for the day, a month, or a year, depends.
Up early for morning run or weight training session, followed by breakfast. Then a nice warm shower, followed by the manly art of shaving. Nothing gets the beard more ready than this routine. I believe the sweating at the workout session, cool down of breakfast and then the showering set the beard up like no other.

Well a typical weekday for me involves getting up early for classes. As a student living in the residence halls on campus, SIUC, I get ready and then head for breakfast.
Getting ready includes going to the bathroom, (the first S), shower, brushing my teeth, shaving, and styling my hair. Then I wash my face. Now I can get dressed.
Getting dressed starts the night before, by laying out a t-shirt, underwear, and socks. In the morning, I pick out a dress shirt and tie and iron the shirt if needed. Slacks and a blazer or suit are chosen. Then I’m off to breakfast or class.
Hit the alarm, stumble into the bathroom, put some mileage on the john, quick shower, shave with a badger hair brush and straight blade, coffee and email, brush the teeth, and then out the door.
When I wake up it takes like 10 mins to shave, brush and floss, comb my hair and look decent. So I usually have to spread out those tasks thru out the day.
Wake (wife and young child make snooze a luxury of the past). Turn on shower water. Zone out for about a minute and a half. Wake up from zone out. Shower. Shave. Curse the old blade. Change blade. Shave again. Get Dressed. Read the Bible and pray. Fix and eat scrambled eggs. Kiss the sleeping wife. Walk out the door.
Every morning I wake up and take a hot shower after a loaf of French bread (wheat) and chocolate milk. Stepping out of the shower I lather up my face with my favorite shaving cream and proceed to shave like my grandpa used to, with my newly acquired safety razor, and get dressed to face the day.
Well, I became in such a hurry that my routine became nothing more than the first “S” a quick shower, using shampoo for the whole process I might add, (it was quicker than shampoo and body wash) , then my shave was water on the face and a quick couple swips without any cream with a razor to old to mention. After tripping onto The Art of Manliness site, I read “How to shave like your Grandpa” and it is exactly what I watched my Grandpa do! So, needless to say, I took it to heart and now get up a little earlier, still take care of the first “S” then like a fine oiled machine, same every day(mostly) 1) Brush my teeth 2) Put in contacts 3) Take shower with all new manly products (I dont mean axe or the like) 4) get out of the shower and prep for the manly shave with my newly purchased badger brush and antique safety razor, with the sharpest wilkenson blade, shave, put on some manly after shave and go get dressed for my day. This new “routine is awesome!” Win or not, Thanks for the kick in the arse.
After stumbling to the sink for a glass of water, I start coffee. Then head to the bathroom to empty.
Put on the days clothes
Cold water face wash,
Brush teeth
wet and style hair
I usually shave the evening before in t he shower.
Im 19 and have been shaving since middle school, unlike a lot of my friends who dont seem to have any facial hair, i have quite the full beard. My parents are seperated and i never properly learned to shave and had learn the hard way through trial and error. i wish i had found more about websites like this that can halfway fill in for things that should have been taught by ones parents.
