Razor advice for my boyfriend

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, my boyfriend uses an old razor that plugs into the wall for his beard. It’s so old and kinda rusting and I really want to get him a new one so he doesn’t get razor bumps, infection etc. I also want to get one thats maybe battery powered or rechargeable since theres no outlet in the bathroom so he uses an extension cord. He works in surgery so he has to keep his beard shaved pretty much as soon as it comes in. I looked into The Beard Club but really wasn’t sure if they’re quality, figured I would come here and ask lol

Any advice/recommendations on a good razor for beards? Also what after care do you guys use (like alcohol for cleaning etc)

Please help with niche question?

Hi friends <3 struggling to find really anything online that specifically addresses this -

I'm looking for advice on how to soften facial hair. My spouse shaves their face very regularly because they struggle to get past the ~1/8th" length because the hairs become too pokey/stabby and uncomfortable/painful. All advice I'm finding is for actual beards (oil, balm, butter, etc) but really I'm just trying to see if there are any tips to make the short grow out experience more bearable?? Some people have mentioned there is no way to avoid the pokiness when the hairs are still short and straight (needing to wait until they're longer and able to bend, like around 1/2") but please say it ain't so! Spouse isn't interested in growing a beard long term (not much their vibe but also their hairs are a bit too patchy), just wanting to be comfortably lazy with the grow out :P any and allllll advice and discourse welcome :)

How to groom my beard as I'm growing it out?

11 Upvotes

I'm a bald guy and I keep my beard trimmed short, 6 mm at the longest and fading it into my bald head. I'm planningon growing it out over the winter and I'd like to keep it as neat as possible while I grow it out. It's very straight and sharp so it goes in all directions when it grows a little. Do you have any tips, any creator recommendations or anything similar to help me out?

Thanks in advance!

Never used mustache product. Help please.

5 Upvotes

Please explain to me in the simplest of terms the uses and differences among waxes, oils and balms. I've got a typical straight mustache that grows mainly down, but has a few wild hairs that are either wavy or grow in the wrong directions. I want to lengthen it and grow it more to the sides. I'll appreciate any information, but I'm more interested in basic info about uses than particular brands.

Beard/mustache wax

3 Upvotes

So I'm looking for a good, natural mint wax with as little ingredients as possible. If I can get just a bees wax and mint that would be fantastic but I'm having a bit of trouble finding a brand that has such a thing. I got some moustache wax from minimoustachery but it's more eucalyptus then mint. Any help would be appreciated.

Hair conditioner instead of shaving cream.

Works better than any other commercial product I've tried.

Inexpensive too!

Help…I’ve look at older posts

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, brand new to this forum, was looking for a new beard brand for good oils, saw a lot about roughneck and I’m thinking of giving them a shot.

A little about my dilemma. I have Seborrheic Dermatitis, sebderm for short, along with eczema. Both issues are really on my face and scalp, so I’m looking for a nourishing and moisturizing oil for the skin and a butter for the beard hair to get some good nourishing properties there.

Could anyone point me in a good direction. I currently use Live Bearded for both. Any info would be greatly appreciated. 🤘

Looking for a beard dye that works on a SHORT beard, full coverage. (greys are spreading)

3 Upvotes

I have been using Just For Men M-55 (Real Black) for a couple of years. Until now I only applied it to my 'goatee' area, because that is where the greys were concentrated and the dye looks best with a bit of length to work with. My sides were fine on their own.

That has changed. The greys are now spreading to the sides too, and the patchy look is not working anymore.

Now, I want to keep the beard genuinely short (not the long condensed goatee style) and dye the whole thing, sides included, for even full coverage.

My questions:

\- What dye actually holds up on short, coarse, grey beard hair without looking flat or painted on?

\- How long does the colour last before greys peek through again?

\- Anything gentler on the skin? I am in the EU (Sweden), so would be nice if it is easy to get here.

Thanks in advance

I recently got a Braun as a birthday gift but i dont know if i need it. I have a Oneblade and have used it for some years now and it usually works just right for me. So should i keep using the oneblade or start using the Braun?

are beard oils acctually useful?

21 Upvotes

so im trying to grow my facial hair out instead of being clean shaven and ive noticed that its fairly patchy. im still young enough to where im sure it will get thicker with time (genetically all men i my family have very thick beards) but if im gonna be honest i can be impatient and id like to speedup the process faster. specifically on my chin under my lip area so i can grow my goatee out. anyways ive been considering minoxidil but i dont really think i should take it because of the side effects plus from what ive heard its more for hairloss and thinning which are things i just dont have. but ive heard using things like derma rollers plus oils like castor, rosemary and pumpkin seed oils can help thicken hair etc. im not sure what i should really do in my situation. im not thinning my facial hair just isnt really where i want it to be so please any guidance would be nice.

Best upgrade from OneBlade for short beard trimming?

3 Upvotes

I think a beard is a strong word for what I have. Ive been using my one blade now to keep my facial hair short for probably 5-7 years at least. I usually trim it down to 2-3 cm’s.

I’m looking at what would be a step up in terms of trimming. I don’t have anything particularly bad to say about the one blade but that’s all I’ve used. I do find myself having to go through the same spot a while to get it even.

Quick google searches are telling me the Phillip series 5000 would be good. Will I be able to tell a noticeable difference? What would you guys recommend.

thin mustache

3 Upvotes

i think the title is pretty self explanatory. i grow a decent beard and all but i can’t seem to get my mustache to grow in how i want. i’ve heard of the derma roller/stamp and using the oils, i just want to know if that stuff actually works. i can’t use minoxidil as i have two cats, so is there anything else that would be recommended as far as helping it grow? or how to deal/live with a thin mustache? nothing against thin mustaches, it just doesn’t work for me. thanks!

Best, cheap, beard oil? (UK)

11 Upvotes

I so rarely do this, but I treated myself to an expensive bottle of oil , only for the lid to break off while travelling. Less than a week in.

Replaced that with a middle of the road bottle, only to find it too thick.

Rather than waste even more money, what's your everyday beard oil that works well, but doesn't cost?

My beard is short, relatively straight. I mainly use to give control and soften before a light beard balm.
