Beards are all the hipster rage, but scraggle is not. If your guy is going to have one, he should be encouraged to groom it. And there are many kits to do it. There are product only ones like Scotch Porter ($32 for 4 products) or I like the ones that include a brush like Mountaineer Brand for $22.80 or Jack Black who supplies a comb with 3 products for $35. Or check out the Beard Club for some nice looking products and grooming utensils. (read more on their About page).
TJ Home Sulpplies (pictured) seems to be a complete package with all included for $35.99. I can't speak to the quality of the electric shaver, or the products but the comb looks high end.

YETI is the current gold standard in coolers and all things related. And it DOES perform above and beyond, with a secure seal, a wide mouth for easy pouring and drinking, keeping things piping hot or icy cold,...but its priced to the moon.

This one is River Green.
