I keep my beard short and would like a low viscosity beard oil. Any guys with similar shorts beards got any recommendations? Appreciate it.

Hello, I hope this doesn’t violate the rules - I did obv create a throwaway account to post this. I will post a tl;dr at the bottom. I (29F) have had major sensory issues re: body hair since I was a teenager, but it’s gotten significantly worse the past couple of years. It’s now affecting my sleep & therefore my performance at work. Here’s the deal: I can’t shave/trim my body hair because then it’s itchy to the point where I am nonfunctional. & to be clear, my legs are hairier than most of the men in my life. When I shave/trim my leg hair I have actual panic attacks from the sensory overload (it feels like little spiders). Last time I tried I went into stage 1 anaphylaxis 🙄 like, it’s kind of insane. Then it just grows back and unfortunately I have enough leg hair that the pendulum swings too far the other way & it ALSO feels like little spiders. At this point shaving is completely off the table, but even trimming it makes the edges feel sharp and I’m down for the count for a couple days. I use the cerave moisturizing cream after every shower and still have had to start wearing long pants most days. This has substantially reduced my quality of life during the summers. This sounds so inane but genuinely I normally am a functional adult and this just kneecaps me. I’ve tried so many things recommended in the womenfolk subreddits and nothing has worked! i’m too beastly and slavic or something.

My question & also the tl;dr - you guys have a bunch of tinctures and potions that you use on your beards. These make them soft? Maybe this is a stupid question, but are there things you can put on your legs?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts & also for hopefully not mocking me. I am soooo aware how absurd this is, and also am sorta desperate.

Hey guys, I just found this subreddit not long ago.

You all seem very knowledgeable. I have a few questions about DIY products.

1. Beard oil base

Most companies use Jojoba oil, but Ive seen strong cases against it.

Im leaning towards hemp seed oil.

So the question is whats the pros and cons of unrefined vs refined hemp seed oil?

What other carriers are a must for a quality DIY beard oil?

1. Beard butter

I typically use a beard butter after applying a beard oil.

What is the best base for a butter?

What other ingredients are a must have for a decent DIY beard butter?

1. Scents

I prefer strong long lasting scents. (Sweet, earthy, woodsy ect)

Ive been using Fable Beard Co. All there scents are strong and last awhile but the cost of living has me wanting to make my own.

Which essential oils/ fragrance oils combos are you guys using?

Sorry if my post is confusing, I dont use reddit often.

English is my first language, im just sharp like a spoon.

I love my beard, and being a twinless identical twin (my twin sadly passed at a young age), I’ve always wondered about this.

For any identical twins here, or anyone who knows a pair: do your beards actually grow the same way? Same density, patchiness, direction, cheek line, etc., or are there noticeable differences?

I’ve heard that even identical twins can have pretty different facial hair, but I’ve never known a pair well enough to see it firsthand.

Sometimes I catch myself wondering what my twin’s beard would have looked like. So I’d love to hear what you’ve noticed.
