The first rule to grooming a beard.

Do you have a striking beard? A beard you are proud of? Or do you intend to grow one? It is not something you grow and just have, a beard requires time and effort if you intend to grow and keep it. The first two weeks of growth are pretty low maintenance, apart from the running to a mirror every 5 minutes to see if it’s grown any longer. That is if you can get past the itch, this is short lived, slightly annoying but well worth it.

The first rule to grooming a beard 

The most important tip to grooming a beard is to wash it! Right from the word go there will be food, sometimes even a cappuccino, I mean beer, in your mustache. You touch your beard on average 15 times an hour, dirt and bacteria from your hands are transferred to your beard and therefore face. Research shows that many beards are full of food and bacteria that can lead to making you ill. This is why washing it is the first rule and why it is important to do it regularly. Water won’t cut it, time and time again I hear this, you wouldn’t wash your hands with just water. Using our beard shampoo not only cleans it but makes it smell gorgeous too.
