Beard oil.

[Budgie Smuggler]

The Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is excellent cologne; expensive but lasts for ages so you get your money's worth

This advice was on an amazon review.

I've bought this oil a few times now, so I've mastered my routine which i'll share now.

Step 1. Wash your beard. Make sure you use an organic/natural soap or beard wash or something similar. Avoid using cheap shampoos, conditioners, body washes etc they will strip your beard of the natural oils.

Step 2. Towel dry

Step 3. Apply Percy's beard oil. IMPORTANT - if you have dry sky you can use more generously, but if you naturally have oily skin use very sparingly. I have oily skin so I literally only use a drop. Work from the bottom upwards, working the oil into your beard and skin, this can take some time. Go wash your hands. Remember oil can take some hours to sink in (unlike silicone products or cheap moisturisers) and they can leave a shine. I like the shine as does my girlfriend as she says it makes it look super clean!

Step 4. (Only if you have it) For me this is the icing on the cake. Apply a tiny amount of beard balm. I have to import this stuff from the USA (percy if you're reading you should get some!) this really brings everything together and helps to bring an amazing shape

Step 5. (Only if you have one) Apply a little moustache wax, for me this helps everything look neat and tidy. I don't have anything crazy like a handlebar but it helps keep those stray hairs at bay.

Step 6. Comb! Very important. This will help work the oil into your skin & beard even further.

Step 7. Leave it be! Once you're ready, don't play with your beard (however tempting it is) You've just given it a lot to work with and it'll take an hour or so to work it's way in. After a few hours you'll have a beard that feels amazing. If it feels too oily, you're using too much oil if it feels dry, you're not using enough! Go with your gut. But I've been using oils every day for months now and it still took a few weeks until I felt the true benefits.

In terms of value for money this oil is great. I was a bit sick of spending ?7 for a bottle so small it ran out in a month. Seeing as Percy is such great value I've even started using it in my hair.. works great as a replacement for wax/gel., gives a nice slick look and it holds surprisingly well!

Hope this helps future buyers!

However, after some of the impressive beards above, not sure if I should show mine, but here goes ...

That's a good beard you have there, my friend.

[sheppsea]

That explains everything ... started growing mine about 2 months ago, about the same time as I started thinking I want to get into fine cigars!

Wife still not sure, but my 4 year old daughter says I'm 'as soft as a kitten', which wins the day. However, after some of the impressive beards above, not sure if I should show mine, but here goes ... (I'm in the Naval Reserve and currently on exercise.)

Been using beard oil, but daughter hates the smell, so this has been a great thread for other options / ideas.

You've blown your cover, Undercover!

There does appear to be a strong connection between tobacco and beards...

This was my first beard oil purchase, so i guess my judgements on it are limited at best.....however I like it, and my thinking is, that if i like this then I can only imagine how the superior products will be like.

In your opinion, do i order the balm from them or look at a different brand?

I must admit, i got suckered in by the logo!

I'd look for something else. IMHO the Penhaligon's is worth every penny just for the smell!

[mrcigar]

Not sure what to make of the balm as it is quite hard to apply compared with a wax.

Just rub a small amount between your palms and then work it through you beard? I use a blob about the size of a baked bean, perhaps a little less.

My new oil and balm arrived on Tuesday, I have to say it's not as good as the Penhaligon?s but it?s ok. Not sure what to make of the balm as it is quite hard to apply compared with a wax. Might get some more, so onward!
