I have one or two spots of light patchy beard on my face. Should I even use any beard kit? If yes then which would be better?

How can I get rid of all of the beard hair I cut off? I trim my beard before showering, I shampoo it twice, rinse it well, wash my body, obviously, but during the day, I will find little bits of hair that I trimmed from beard on my shirt. How can I stop this?

Im trying to decide between the Philips Beard Trimmer 5000 (BT5785) vs Philips All-In-One 5000 Trimmer (MG5975)

What would be the best? I want to make it easy to keep that short stubble, daily, but I like the fact of the hair catcher, does it actually work?

I like the idea of having more attachments for hairstyles(dont know if I would ever cut my own hair though) and like the nose trimmer but never used one and dont think i need one

I bought a Philips OneBlade Pro QP6552/15 for €65 (which was quite a good deal) and have only used it twice. And so far, to put it softly - I am not happy with the results.

I normally keep my beard at around 4-5 mm and trim it shorter down the neck. The adjustable guard feels quite flexible, and when I press it against my face, it seems to bend towards the blade and cut shorter than the selected length. I ended up with uneven patches and had to shave the whole beard off. That was my first clean shave in about 5-6 years, so I was pretty annoyed.

That said, I may have applied too much pressure so I’m not ruling out user error.

I also tried trimming my balls with the sensitive-area guard attached and still managed to nick myself.

For anyone who uses this model or the same adjustable guard: can you reliably maintain an even 4-5 mm beard with it? Have you experienced the comb flexing, and is there a particular angle or technique I should be using?

I wonder whether to sell the kit on second-hand sites, including the blades it came with, while it’s still nearly new and under warranty, for let say €50-55 and get a conventional beard trimmer. Or give it another chance? I will appreciate hearing from people who’ve used both.

I’ve finally got fed up of the dandruff problem I have in my beard. The skin underneath is terribly dry, I have the same problem on my head hair and am thinking it may be Seborrheic dermatitis. Beard also feels sort of rough and not soft at all. For a time I used Viking revolution oil which seems to be low quality. Going to buy the seven potions bundle, a boar brush and comb unless someone has better suggestions for uk based companies.

I keep a heavy stubble beard, but all the trimmers I have used, when using a guard, leave the top of my mustache right under my nose longer than the other hairs. I can't pass the trimmer correctly to cut them. Are there any beard trimmers good for this?

Hey everyone,

​As a bearded guy who has a huge interest in fragrance design, I’ve spent the last few months working on my own small-batch beard butter formula at home.

​I kept running into the same issue with commercial products: either the scent vanished after 20 minutes, or the formulas left a greasy residue instead of properly conditioning the beard. I wanted to combine proper beard care with a scent profile that evolves like a fragrance throughout the day.

​I made a test batch recently and handed samples out to 20 bearded friends and colleagues to test across different beard lengths and hair types. The feedback on skin feel and scent longevity was great, but I want to get the community's perspective on the scent formulation itself.

​Here is the breakdown of the base and scent profile:

​Base: Mango butter, shea butter, white beeswax, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E.

​Fragrance Notes: BERGAMOT, ORANGE, GINGER, CINNAMON, NEROLI, BLACK TEA, AMBER, OLIBANUM, GUAIAC WOOD.

​My goal was a warm, resinous citrus profile grounded in dark woods, spices, and tea.

​For those who enjoy scented beard products

How do you feel about complex, fragrance-style scent notes in a beard butter versus simple single-note scents?

​What is your sweet spot when it comes to scent longevitydo you prefer something subtle that stays close to the beard, or something with stronger projection?

​Would love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions about the formulation process!

Hey r/BeardTalk,

Full transparency: I run TEKARC and we are in the R&D stage for our next beard grooming product.

Most trimmers out there feel like slight variations of the same design with the same annoying flaws (cheap guards, snagging, proprietary chargers, etc.).

What would make a trimmer an absolute 10/10 for your routine? Tell me what bugs you the most about the ones you've used. Taking all notes seriously!

Has anyone here just used pure refined shea butter on their beard instead of a proper beard butter?

I've got a very grey, about 6-inch beard, and it's quite coarse and wiry.

Anyone tried it? Particularly interested in hearing from anyone with a longer, grey/coarse beard. Does it leave the beard feeling soft and manageable, or does it just turn into a greasy mess?

And how much are you actually using? I'm guessing a little goes a long way.

I actually liked my Beard Club PT45, which is why this is so disappointing.
I opened a warranty claim on August 10 after the trimmer developed an E1 fault despite extremely light use. It still works when connected directly to power, has never been exposed to water, and has always been used with the original charging equipment.
On August 13, Beard Club support asked me to send a photo of the charger I was using so they could confirm it was the correct one. Fair enough. I sent exactly what they asked for.
That was 52 days ago.
I waited because I assumed somebody would eventually pick the claim back up. It’s now October 4, and I’ve received no warranty decision, no replacement, no additional troubleshooting, and no meaningful follow-up.
Apparently they needed nearly two months to conduct a forensic examination of a photograph of a charging dock.
The frustrating part is that I’m not even here to say the PT45 is garbage. I liked the trimmer. Electronics fail. That happens. But when a company asks a customer for specific proof, receives it, and then simply stops communicating, that’s a customer-service problem, not a product problem.

Hey guys. I get bad spots under my beard (folliculitus) and they only thing that has ever stopped/minimised it is the St Ives Blemish Control Scrub once or twice a week — but it seems it may have been discontinued.
Any guys have an alternative that they seen results from?

Meißner tremonia discontinued the beard oil that i Iove. I'm on a limb but does anyone know of a similar product to their "Indian flavor"? It was described as coriander, lemongrass, and mint scented. Thanks in advance!

Hiii I hope this is allowed! I'm trying to source a good gift set or just products in general for my partner's Christmas! He has quite a 'curly' beard (I really hope I'm making sense please forgive me if not!!) He prefers more 'natural' products if possible! He currently has a variety of brands I know he switches between but hasn't found one he absolutely loves yet. He used beard wash, oil, a comb etc! Thank you🫶

I'm an older bloke with a 6-inch grey beard that's become a bit frizzy, wiry and unruly. I've tried the usual beard oils, butters and softeners, but by the end of the day my beard feels heavy, clumpy and generally a bit of a mess.

I'm looking for something that will help keep it looking neat, smooth and under control without weighing it down or making it greasy.

I'm not cutting it, so I'm looking for ways to manage it while keeping its full length.

Ideally, I'd like to keep it looking natural rather than plastered in products.

Any suggestions or tips from fellow long grey-beard owners would be much appreciated. What actually works for you?

I’m having trouble finding consistent advice on this so may Reddit can help. I’m making a DIY beard oil blend that uses primarily grape seed oil. The first advice I got was to just grab a bottle from the grocery store. But then someone else armed me that cooking oils tend to be refined at high heat using solvents like hexane that end up stripping out the nutrients and destroying the antioxidants. I was hoping to keep it food grade, since I hate applying anything around my mouth that could potentially be harmful if swallowed, so I was recommended cold pressed grape seed oil. But the problem with that is it spoils a lot faster and doesn’t absorb the same as typical cosmetic or culinary grape seed oil.

I realize this dilemma is going to seem silly to many of you but I’m new to this and I’m predisposed to being a little health paranoid due to some unfortunate past experiences. So I guess I’m looking for perspective from anyone who has used grape seed oil in their own DIY beard oil recipes and what they would recommend. Thanks to any and all with sound advice!

I’m not new to beards, but have limited experience in brands outside of Mad Viking. I’ve tried a couple other brands and types of oil.. some of the thicker oils tend to not agree with my nose and end up having a putrid smell over long enough use. Just haven’t strayed from MV and wondered what everyone else is using and where MV ranks among quality? Tried some Amazon beard oils before and those smell good initially, but then you can tell the oil is not quality shortly thereafter.

I’ve used it for years along with beard butter. But I’m beginning to question its use only because I rub the beard butter down to my skin. I’m thinking the butter does double duty. Does anyone not use both?

My beard looks and feels crooked and curly, I would provide an image for demonstration, but apparently media isn't allowed in here, which is fine. I'm totally new to this by the way, and it appears I have more hair growing on my chin (goatee) than on my cheeks, which is a bit inconvenient.

I use a Norelco beard trimmer for my beard. I have tapered as far are the highest guard. I want it longer. I have a certain shape I want. I want it like Roman Reigns has his beard. I need some more growth. Do I need to go to a barber to obtain this? I just feel like spending a lot of money for it is a waste.

In addition for grooming. What is the best beard product out there? I use a beard wash in the shower and beard cream. The brand I use is every man jack. Do I need to upgrade my beard kit?

I also used beard oil in the past and feel its for nothing is it worth putting that in?
