(Part 2) Best products from r/BeardAdvice

It's extremely personal what scent you like and what works for your beard. I've tried dozens of different styles, but I've come to the conclusion that at my length (about 3-4 cm or longer), my beard needs a beard balm. If I wear it shorter (as I do sometimes), oil is fine.

​

The last beard oil I used that was decent, that wasn't very expensive, was bulldogs beard oil - bulldog beard oil

​

The balm I'm currently using is Mr Bear - Bear beard balm

​

Edit: My beard is coarse, thick and also wavy.

Detroit Grooming Co. - 4oz Beard Butter Double the Size - Beard Balm - Beard Conditioner https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBV5KUU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ifWTzbEYSZ2XM

That’s the beard butter. A lot better than Beardbrand or any of those big company

I use similar scissors to amazon link to trim the bottom edge of the moustache every two weeks to cover some but not all my upper lip. That’s shorter than this pic. Length looks good in this pic. Length is up to you. If it’s cut a bit short it will grow out soon. I suggest take weekly pics and then compare shorter VS longer. That’s how I decided on the shorter beard look. And use scissors to trim each moustache extension to match.

I’d use a wooden brush like this instead of a comb, if not try using a comb with a wider gap between the teeth

Just get some softner http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PEEZ07K


Best investment for an unhappy wife

Spend a bit of cash on a shaper from Amazon. I have this one but you can find them cheaper. Square out your cheeks and keep growing.

got one of these when my beard was longer, and it worked wonders.

Do NOT get the one blade. I loved it the first few times I used it, but the blades wear quickly and start to pull hair. It’s so frustrating. I replaced my Panasonic rechargeable one that was 5 years old with the one blade and I regret my decision every time I use it. I looked it up on amazon and the price for my old trimmer has dropped by roughly 50% since I originally bought it, and I just bought a new one, so thanks for that. 👍🏻

This is what I had.

Depends on which style you got. The one I see ads for is the shitty cheap one that doesn't work as well. The one I see that supposedly does work well is like this: https://www.amazon.com/Straightener-CNXUS-Adjustable-Temperatures-Straightening/dp/B0714J2X7T/

Just wanted to say thanks for the blow drying advice. I was having really bad beard dandruff (beardruff is that we shorten it too??? idk) and its really cut it back on the flaky dead skin.

I started Spartan Beard Shampoo and thats been helping alot also. Thanks again!
