I used some of this to soften the beard and it worked. It would probably dry it out if I used it too often though...

I've got this.



Works very well IMO. a light manly scent too. It's an oil though. I rub some in my hands and then around my beard then comb. you leave it in, no rinse.

Looks like something I would try, thanks.

Still growing strong,

I'm 3+ weeks in to mine. Never thought about needing any kind of conditioner in it.

I grew mine out once for 6 months. I never thought about a conditioner until several months in. And really I doubt I needed it, I just wanted to try it.

I was glad I did and I'm using the conditioner now at only 2 weeks in. It did make it easier to comb and gave it a cool shine so it looked clean and well groomed.

Scent! I'm looking for a glossy (Rick Ross) beard product with a great manly scent. Woody, lime, whatever.

Thanks for the tip. I ordered up some of the Raven scent. Sounds interesting. Got the 30ml bottle because my beard is not staying forever.

Wild Man makes one called Cove that is described as predominantly lime.

I believe my wife calls it no kiss November.

Received my Wild Man Raven conditioner. Smells strongly of pine. I like it. Just need a beard comb now.

Beard comb....I have a small plastic comb that was apart of a set of hair-clippers. It does the job but a nice hand made comb would be a little nicer. I looks like the one below:

Love this idea. http://perryrhodes.storenvy.com/products/2416650-ritual-bethlehem-olive-wood-edition

Had to take off the stash. Never liked the stash, growing a Whaler!

No one else growing out their beards?

I'm a few weeks in at this point. I've been kind of following this thread hoping to find a good beard treatment system that's less expensive than Blue Beard's Original. I'm already having dandruff problems and regular lotions aren't cutting it or really even making it through my beard to my skin.

Head and Shoulders work. In my experience too many products cause dandruff. You can find info on grape seed and jojoba oil, how to apply it to the beard, etc.

I did a little shaping to my beard today using a beard trimmer. I didn't take off any length just long stray hairs. Feels much better.

I've tried head and shoulders and it worked before, but that was during the summer. Now that winter is coming in Iowa it is getting dry and dandruff shampoo isn't cutting it. I am seriously considering making my own oil concoction to try out rather than dropping $50 on a product line I may or may not only use for a month.

Maybe ask on a beard forum.

The last week I've been getting compliments on my dark, full looking beard. ;-)
