A one-person guide to the tools men groom with.

Grooming guides are easy to write badly: copy the specs off the box, rank whatever sells, borrow skin advice from a forum and sign it “our team”. Grooming Nova was started to do the opposite, one question and one guide at a time.

Byline

Usually: “Our team” or “our experts”, with no one you can look up.

Here: One named author, Aman Singh, who answers for every guide.

Sources

Usually: Claims with no source, or a link to another roundup.

Here: Every claim tied to a maker manual or a medical page, and every quote checked word for word.

Skin advice

Usually: Forum remedies for bumps, cysts and razor burn.

Here: Advice from dermatology and medical sources, with clear signs for when to see a doctor.

Testing

Usually: Specs copied from the box.

Here: Hands-on tests by one written protocol: lengths measured with a ruler, comfort logged into the next day.

Freshness

Usually: A “best” list with no date and no sign of a re-check.

Here: Dated guides, reviewed at least once every 12 months and checked within 14 business days when something changes.

The company is based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India; the guides are written for US readers, with US products and stores, and lengths in inches as well as millimeters. Aman Singh writes and reviews every guide.

1. 1

   Start from a real question

   Each guide answers one thing US men search for or ask on forums, and is planned so no two guides answer the same question.

2. 2

   Write a sourced brief

   Before drafting, the brief sets down the sources to cite and the facts each section must state, each with the page it comes from.

3. 3

   Write from the brief

   The guide is written from that brief, citing a source for every factual claim.

4. 4

   Check it as a separate pass

   Every cited page is opened and every quote matched word for word against a saved copy. Claims a source doesn't support are cut or fixed.

5. 5

   Test what needs testing

   Where a guide relies on hands-on results, the tests follow the written protocol: same kit, same conditions, sessions at least 48 hours apart.

6. 6

   Approve, date and keep current

   Aman reviews every guide in a separate pass before it's published. It goes live with its "Last updated" date and is reviewed at least once every 12 months.
