Moustaches and beards

[bxlbaz]

There’s been a good thread about aftershaves, but for those of us that have moustaches or beards or both, what products do you use, beard oil, moustache wax ?
To start it off I use Aqua di Parma beard oil but I’m looking for a good moustache wax.

Occasionally I get my trimmer and make my beard slightly less unkempt.

This isn't a beard, it's stubble. Beard implies intent, whereas this is just cba to shave.

It's more David Bellamy than David Beckham, though... And I can't shave now until winter, because I'll have a white chin and cheeks to go with the sunburnt rest of my face.

I had a crack at a full beard last year. This took 5 months.
I didn't trim it or put any crap on it apart from the odd bit of Guinness froth.

Occasionally I sit in the garden with some scissors, a big comb and a mirror then hack away at it till I look less like a cave man.

I generally us Percy Nobleman products - shampoo, oil, wax.

Although i gave the L'oreal range a go recently and got on well with the styling cream.

Then I use a a combination of a comb (goatlifestyle) and a brush (Percy Nobleman)

I hack the tufts off with nail scissors every few weeks.

I stopped using beard oil and switched to bear balm. Tough the oil smelled good and was good for my skin, it didn't do a thing for my beard. I tried some balm on recomendation of my barber, it has the same effects of the oil but it also acts like a mild wax or pommade would for your hair. It also keeps your beard hair soft and in shape.
I use the scented Grave Before Shave balms along with their brush: http://www.gravebeforeshave.com

I use Bulldog beard shampoo as I can get it in Sainsbury's, I use their sensitive skin moisturiser too.

Beard oil I've tried various makes; Percy Nobleman, some stuff off ebay (can't remember the name), if the wife is at a fair she'll pick up a bottle for me, generally they are all good but the best I've found is The Body Shop, Cedar and Sage; my sister is a Body Shop rep and they've only recently got into beard stuff so she got me a bottle, it's a lovely smell and just right in terms of oilyness, plus it has a pump dispenser as opposed to a pipette so is is less faff to apply, I've also got a bottle of Bulldog oil too; the Bodyshop stuff replaced it, it's fine but nothing special but it does the job.

I do have a quarter of a tub of Percy Nobleman beard balm but I rarely use it, I don't really see what it offers over oil, if I use it, it's only because it's there or because I've run out of oil; I'm unlikely to replace it.

All my mates take the piss out of me for oiling up my beard (they also take the piss for me moisturising too) however if I don't put oil on it, it just becomes a dry mess.

I'm never sure how often to oil it though, I do it in the morning but by mid afternoon it does start to look a bit shabby so perhaps I need to do it twice a day?

The beard oil will go on your shirt collar if you do it later int he day.

But at least it will stop his beard squeaking.

Scruff stuff is very good, they do a subscription service for £6.95 a month with a new different "flavour" bottle each month.

You need a head to chin transplant, that beard is a bit pathetic to be honest.

You could try smiling too. Did you not know you were having your photo taken?
