Niccolo Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Everyone knows beards add +5 to Lifting skills, right? Woot for tire flipping! It's been a while since that's come up in a WOD. Debating if I should tell my coach or not..... Also, excellent shape on the beard. Mine is to curly/frizzy to get that pointed. 1 Quote "Whether or not you can never become great at something, you can always become better at it." -Neil DeGrasse Tyson "I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats.

Silverwitch Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 I simply LOVE beards! My husband has one that looks pretty similar to Rurik's beard (also red but with a hint of grey ). When he decided a couple of years ago to let it grow, I just thought awesome, awesome, awesome. Let it grow, guys! 3 Quote FLUCTUAT NEC MERGITUR FUELED BY PALEO Link to comment

Teros Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Does someone here has a stronger beard? I think my beard accidentally ripped a phonebook in half... Is that close? 1 Quote Link to comment
Jakkals Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 You are a real man. You have a magnificent beard. And it is a thing of terrible beauty. You hunt and fish and have the ability to set fire to entire forests by merely being rugged. When you go surfing the sea runs crimson with your testosterone. Trekking barefoot through Kruger, several lions routinely commit suicide after laying eyes on your man-mane. You love three things, your mother, your rifle and your beard. That’s why you buy chocolates for your mother, bullets for your rifle, and Buffelsfontein beard oil for your beard. Our uniquely blended oil will make your beard glisten like a million rubies and smell better than burning gunpowder. Girls will blush when your oiled chin-brush catches the wind with all the majesty of a sail ship heading for unexplored lands. Buffelsfontein beard oil. Treat yourself, you magnificent bastard. 4 Quote Level 8 : Wizard Blacksmith [ STR 6 | DEX 6 | STA 5 | CON 5 | WIS 10 | CHA 4 ] Jakkals, 2019 nommer 3 Spoiler Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live. -Marcus Aurelius Link to comment
Teros Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 laying eyes on your man-mane. Perfect. 20 Pages in - has there been a discussion on things such as beard oil? I'm going to be trimming/cleaning up my beard and I wanted to look into beard oil or soap. Anyone have experience with certain kinds that are good? Bad? I have a coconut shampoo and matching conditioner and I use the conditioner on my beard as well. Feels a little better, but I mean; beard hair and head hair feel totally different so I didn't know if there was a significant difference with 'beard only' products. Quote Link to comment
Silverwitch Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Being a women (though a beard loving one) I can only speak of the experiences of my husband: he uses a beard wash (Brandname OAK), and beard oil from Mc Natty (and others). Also, he uses a boar bristle brush, to brush it daily once. He has a full beard, no trim, except around the lipline. On one of his bottles of beard oil it says: MAY YOUR BEARD ALWAYS HAVE LUSTER. That's what I wish you guys! I'm happy about every man who decided to look like one! 1 Quote FLUCTUAT NEC MERGITUR FUELED BY PALEO Link to comment

Grifball Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 I use my shampoo for my beard very infrequently. It's a different sort of hair than top-of-head hair. Shampoo can be damaging. I do condition it every now and then. The only product I use in it is Beard Balm, made right here in Detroit, Michigan. It's great stuff. Adds a very little bit of shine, softens, and has a nice smell to it.

Feels a little better, but I mean; beard hair and head hair feel totally different so I didn't know if there was a significant difference with 'beard only' products. I never use hair shampoo in my beard. Rarely shampoo at all. Maybe once every couple of weeks at the most. Lightly comb daily with a boar bristle brush, beard balm cream (Fortknight) daily or every other day, and daily beard oil (any brand I like the odor of). I want to preserve as much of the natural oils as possible. It's the best way I've found to keep my facial follicles and the skin beneath the softest and healthiest it can be. That said, I would cautiously entertain the notion of a beard-specific shampoo and more likely a conditioner. My beard balm has coconut oil in it. That stuff is a miracle elixir for everything!

MissoulaSquatch Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 For beard shampoo I use Professor Fuzzworthys daily, it is a beard specific shampoo, all natural ingredients, really makes a huge difference.As for the oil side of things, I actually prefer a balm. While I've used nearly all of their products, presently I use the Honest Amish Heavy Duty Beard Balm after my shower, just take a pea size amount, rub it between your hands to warm it up..then rub it into the beard. I follow with a boar hair bristle brush..brushing both directions (up from the neck to make sure it gets worked in underneath well, then down to shape). Occasionally for special events I'll use one of their waxes for a little extra hold. Like the shampoo, these are all natural as well.Don't let that price scare you.. 4oz of this stuff will last a long time.I've also started doing a bi-weekly Apple Cider Vinegar bath to strip out excess product, this has been a REAL game changer since I started doing it. Just mix a little of the vinegar with some warm water in a bowl, take it in the shower and apply it first, work it through, rinse it out, then follow up with the shampoo and balm.We'll just say when I let girls touch the beard, they understand why I take such pride and extra time in cleaning/grooming it properly.
