Caring for your beard
Beard care begins, of course, with a visit to your barber. And buying the right beard gear. So many men, so many beards. Every beard grows differently. Taking care of your beard is very important for a nice tight and healthy beard. Although beard growth varies from man to man, there are some basic maintenance steps: maintenance, cleaning, grooming and styling.
-
Maintaining your beard
Depending on beard growth and length, maintenance can be daily or weekly. Maintenance is done with a trimmer, beard scissors and razor. The long strands of beard are cut with the scissors. With the trimmer, you can easily and smoothly trim the entire beard to the right length. For a close shave of the beard contours, we recommend using the safety razor instead of the multi-blade cartridge razor. Because of the shape of the shaving head and the razor blade of the safety razor, you can see very well where you need to shave along the beard edges. Of course, you also use the razor to shave the beard hairs on the cheeks and neck.
-
Cleaning your beard
Wash the beard with a special beard shampoo. A beard shampoo is a mild and skin-friendly shampoo. It removes dirt, dust and excess sebum from the beard but leaves the skin alone. It prevents dry flaky and chapped irritated skin under the beard. Clean your beard up to a few times a week.
-
Grooming your beard
Your beard is exposed to sun, wind and airborne pollution on a daily basis. For a healthy and fresh beard, you need to groom and nourish it daily. Always groom your beard after cleaning it. Avoid a dry and fluffy beard. Always use a few drops of beard oil. Rub and distribute the beard oil using a wooden beard comb or beard brush. The advantage of beard oil is that it also nourishes the skin and you can easily apply and distribute it into the beard. If you still have a short beard or dislike oil use a beard balm.
-
Styling your beard
The longer the beard, the more important styling or shaping becomes. Use a beard balm or beard wax to sculpt your beard. Rub and distribute the beard balm into the beard and model it using the beard comb or beard brush.
