30 day beard trim front 30 day beard trim side

It has been a month growing a yeard, I decided to do a trim to keep things manageable and respectable. Need someone I trusted and who is a professional at this sort of thing, so visited my good friend Jay who owns a barber shop ” Man Time”. He does a brilliant hot towel shave and then trims with a clipper and scissors. It is casual and comfortable and you have a view of the false bay area and some home brewed coffee. The itch has started to subside a little , but i still regularly use beard oil and balm and brush and comb my beard every day.

Jay has a line of products that he supplies Beardline. Our range is home made and organic and we use at least 7 organic ingredients. Some of the ingredients listed are Cedar wood Oil, Almond Oil, Peppermint Oil, Lemon Oil, Coconut Oil, Sandalwood Oil, Frankincense. The balm has these ingredients plus Shea Butter from Uganda and local Bees Wax.

I have tried the Tree Ranger Oil from Beardbrand, it is good , but expensive for what you get and is imported from USA, also was a mission getting it down to South Africa. I also tried some local brands, some are good but most are very average. The big brands seem to cost cut on ingredients even though packaging looks impressive, but I would like to know for sure what goes on my face. I did buy a boar bristle brush and some combs from Beardbrand which are excellent . The combs are impressive as they are made from a cellulose-based acetate , the same material used in frames for high end sunglasses. Also it is hand cut and polished , not stamped out like cheap plastic combs. The acetate reduces static when combing your beard and as the teeth are cut , bevelled and polished there is little risk of the teeth snagging on your hair. The teeth are also more spaced out than normal hair combs so provides much more comfort when combing a beard, especially if you have a curly beard.

So if you want to grow a healthy beard, use beard oil , balm and either brush or comb your beard daily. It really does make all the difference.

Will keep you updated on how this yeard is growing.
