re: Beard growing/grooming?

Beard oil is for relaxing/conditioning.

Waxes are for shaping.

Balms are in between.

I prefer balms, they last longer. I found I go through a bottle of beard oil rather quickly. Though I have a larger beard. 8.5 months worth.

Personally I trim the edges about every 1 to 2 months depending on how it looks, to get scraggly ends off to keep it neat and that's it. Then again I am growing for length right now.


Edit: it's fine to use trimmers to trim, just make sure you have a white or bright colored area behind you when you do it. Makes it easier to see what you are doing. This way there is no accidental beard gouging.
