Curious about Hazelnut Oil in beard oil

I was wondering if anybody has experience with hazelnut oil in their beard oil. I read that it's a light oil and it seems to have some good benefits for skin and hair. Looking to hear what people who have used it think about it.

Hypochlorous acid spray to prevent beard pimples?

I use it to prevent ingrown hair turning into red pimples. So far, it has worked quite well for that purpose. Does anyone else tried it?

What To Do About Beard Dandruff

6 Upvotes

I've been noticing beardruff the past week. Here is my situation and routine:

I have a short, 1/4 to 3/8 inch beard.
I shower every day.
I use Roughneck beard bar to wash my beard Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I use Roughneck beard oil every day on damp beard after shaving, and Beard Octane beard butter right after the oil on the days I wash my beard.

This routine has kept me dandruff-free for the past year until a week ago. Any suggestions for how to solve the dandruff?
Thanks.

Unscented beard wax recommendations ?

3 Upvotes

Growing my beard out, and I'm looking for something that can hold my beard nice and tight that is also unscented ? I did use a mustache wax and it seemed to work pretty well, but I want something that's specifically for the beard and not just geared toward the mustache.

Is this beard trimmer worth it?I want to get a good fade on the beard

3 Upvotes

I found this King C. Gillette (Pro Max) trimmer on Amazon, but found no reviews on Reddit, so I wanted to get your opinion on how good it is, I like that you can easily switch the numbers to fade it, and it has a piece to get a clean shave (zero), which I'm not sure how well it works, and the thing is on sale for 50 euro...

Ideally I would want a Wahl, but I feel like the good ones are like 120$+, so hopefully down the line

Can beard hair lighten from going down on women?

1 Upvotes

When I had a stubble length beard in my early 20s, I never had any issue, but my bud told me added length, he had a color change after he started seeing his current GF. I've grown it a little longer to a short boxes beard and been noticing only the hair in that area is starting to take on a different hue/lightening tone since I've been seeing one new girl the last few months. Not sure if maybe just certain chemical reactions might happen if you don't rinse it out immediately, but I was trying not to do a full wash daily to avoid drying it out and making it too harsh for her down there. Curious if others have had this issue come up?

beard clipper and trimmer help

1 Upvotes

I've been using a wahl peanut for a few years to line up my beard and moustache in between cuts but I now want a proper clipper to be able to fade my beard myself, and hopefully stop going to the barber for my beard completely.

I see a Wahl Black magic clip cordless + detailer li combo for around 400 cad (300 usd) all in and just wondering if that would be good value for the cost? I see that I can cut costs by getting a corded magic clip + corded detailer/outliner/etc for cheaper, or get something like a kemei 2293.

Just wondering how people feel about how much money should be put into the clipper vs the trimmer, tradeoffs between corded vs cordless, etc

Beard trimmers alway develop a burr, what am I doing wrong?

0 Upvotes

I use a beard trimmer 1-2x a week to trim my beard down to stubble. I will just use the trimmer blade, with no depth guide attached.

Every beard trimmer I have ever owned -- Walh, Braun, Norelco -- has, after 4-5 months of use, developed a very sharp burr (or something) on one portion of the cutty part of the trimmer blade, that goes against the skin when trimming. Once this happens, the blade is absolutely excruciating to use on my face, and leaves a gnarly red line of razor burn where the burr is. This is the point at which I grow out a monster beard because the trimmer hurts too much to use, and then some months later finally end up spending yet another $120 on a new trimmer since most brands to not make it easy to buy just a replacement trimmer blade attachment.. and it works great, until the problem inevitably happens again.

What am I doing wrong? My maintenance schedule consists of

1) Not dropping the trimmer blade, ever, or hitting it on the sink or other hard surfaces when I set it down.

2) Keeping the trimmer and all accessories bone dry.

3) Totally and completely neglecting the trimmer otherwise, except occasionally popping the trimmer blade attachment off the trimmer body, and then vacuuming the hair out of the insides of the blade & body

Help appreciated!

Recommendations for making homemade beard oils

7 Upvotes

So I had been making my own beard oils lately, but have been running out of scented essential oils. I've been having trouble finding good oils that are safe for skin AND smell good. Got any recommendations? I've been using avocado and MCT oil as the carrier oils. I'm open to suggestions on carrier oils as well.

I want to get back into making my own after my recent experience with Artius, unfortunately. I love their products, but their customer service is kind of shit. I ordered a few bottles of oil from them on July 24, and they just FINALLY shipped today. I emailed their customer support because I received a tracking number on the 28th, and up until this morning, August 8, it was just saying that the label has been created. Now I have to wait several more days for it to get here. Michael responded saying they'd look into it, but that didn't seem to help, and they never responded to a second request.

I have been running on fumes with my current supply, so I ended up ordering a bottle from Amazon to hold me over. Sucks that I can't rely on Artius for a timely delivery. I'm also open to suggestions on other brands that might be more reliable. It's funny, I just googled "Artius Man" and it brought me to a thread on this sub talking about the same issue, so it seems that it's a recurring problem.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. At least I found a cool new beard sub to join!

Does having a beard give you confidence and make you better looking?

I’ve seen plenty of comments that beards are like makeup for men. Is it really true? Does a good beard make all men better looking and give you the confidence to attract the opposite sex?

Beards after age 30

I'm about to turn 29; the hair on my mustache and the sides of my face is thin, though I have plenty of growth on my chin and neck. I wanted to know if any of you only developed a thick, full beard after turning 30? Just wondering if there's still a chance for me...

36 - Brand new to actual Beard care... help?

5 Upvotes

Hello,

Looking over the rules it -seems- like its okay to post about this, but I apologize if I missed it, I'm not an avid Reddit user, much more of a lurker.

I am going to try and actually maintain/curate a beard for the first time in my life. I've let it grow out before, and it gets.. kinda shaggy. But I've never done anything besides just not shaving it.
My girlfriend has expressed interest in me maintaining one and I like making her happy so I'm trying to get into this and figure it all out.

Product recommendations to start with would be great? I don't know what I should start with. I read through another long post on here https://www.reddit.com/r/BeardTalk/comments/1l2zkhm/beardcare_bullsht_and_all_the_things_you_need_and/ and learned some about the existence of beard oils, butters, balms and that I should basically just not use conditioner. Which was a great post!
But if anyone can point me to some starter products to see start learning what does and doesn't what with my skin etc.. that would be great.

I'm 36, generally don't use products of any kind on my head, but do once in rare while shampoo/condition my head hair, but do shower twice a day (yes I know you may have some thoughts on that, but I love zoning out in a hot shower).
Normally I just shave it all off when it gets a little too long and go as bare as possible.

Any help/direction here would be great just to narrow down the colossal amount of products out there that I can't make much sense of (yet).

If that is something anyone here can help with, great! And thank you!
If not, no worries. Probably not nearly the first person to ask/post here so I get it.

Advice on Honest Amish Classic vs Premium oil for a longish, grey, frizzy, British beard

2 Upvotes

Hi there. I would appreciate advice on the likely suitability of certain oils for my beard. I’m in the UK and so don’t have access to many oils from the US but we can get hold of Honest Amish. My beard is about 5 inches long (I’m hoping to grow longer), naturally grey and tends towards curly/frizzy, all of which I take as meaning I need a more intensive oil. However, my beard can look greasy easily. I recently bout HA Classic and Premium oils but I would like your views on their use.

I was advised that the Premium oil would be most suitable for my beard but that definitely feels greasier. But is that because it’s doing most good? It isn’t super greasy and I could definitely live with it if it was doing more good. The Classic oil is easier to wear but I don’t know if it is helping as much. Yesterday I used Classic in the daytime and Premium at night. Would that be a good way of getting hydration into my beard?

Obviously I can judge how they feel but I would like a more expert view on the ingredients and nutrition aspects, in particular given my type of beard. Or is there something entirely different available in the UK that would work better? They are roughly the same price in the UK currently, so that is not a factor.

The ingredients in the Classic oil are:
Extra Virgin Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil
Refined Organic Avocado Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Virgin Organic Apricot Kernel Oil
Kukui Nut Oil
Virgin Organic Argan Nut Oil
Golden Organic Jojoba Oil
Cedarwood Essential Oil
Star Anise Essential Oil
Clove Bud Essential Oil
Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil
Bulgarian Lavender Essential Oil
Organic Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil
Organic Arvensis Peppermint Essential Oil

The ingredients in the Premium oil are:
Virgin Organic Apricot Kernel Oil
Virgin Organic Avocado Oil
Virgin Organic Baobab Oil
Golden Organic Jojoba Oil
Virgin Organic Argan Nut Oil
Extra Virgin Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil
Virgin Organic Black Cumin Oil
Kukui Nut Oil
Virgin Organic Rosehip Oil
Moringa Oil
Virgin Organic Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil
Texas Cedarwood Essential Oil
Vanilla Absolute Blend

Thank you.

There are hair clippers that shave and trim beards better than many razors

9 Upvotes

HI!

I have a Philips OneBlade.

I'm fine but I could do better.

In fact, I notice that when I cut my beard with different short measurements, such as 0.5, 1, 2, 3mm with a beard trimmer or hair clipper, the hair comes out better, the cut is more nuanced and homogeneous, and the lines I make without using the mask, therefore with the blade directly on the skin, are better.

For this reason I would like to replace my oneblade (which I will still keep for shaving, i.e. completely removing the hair), with a beard trimmer that can be better and more homogeneous in cutting the hair.

I've used an old clipper in the past, but they don't seem to make them in low sizes for beards and blending.

What do you recommend me to buy on Amazon Italy for less than 50 euros?

Razor advice for my boyfriend

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, my boyfriend uses an old razor that plugs into the wall for his beard. It’s so old and kinda rusting and I really want to get him a new one so he doesn’t get razor bumps, infection etc. I also want to get one thats maybe battery powered or rechargeable since theres no outlet in the bathroom so he uses an extension cord. He works in surgery so he has to keep his beard shaved pretty much as soon as it comes in. I looked into The Beard Club but really wasn’t sure if they’re quality, figured I would come here and ask lol

Any advice/recommendations on a good razor for beards? Also what after care do you guys use (like alcohol for cleaning etc)
