Beard Balm/Conditioner/Wax - Anyone use that?

[Stomper]

I use Honest Amish beard balm every couple days. Use Detroit beard oil about once a week. I wash my beard every other day.

Brush and comb for training it to grow a certain way. Beard balm to maintain good healthy hair follicles.

Washing too much robs your face of sebum.
My beard is pretty soft and not too unruly.

Whether this is what should be done I'm not sure. It works for me.

I tend to research too much so I bought that stuff based one what the internet told me I needed. I'm pretty sure my dads big badass beard grew just fine in the 70's without all that...

As long as your beard doesn't smell like an old sock or dirty/sweaty belly button in between washing every other day...

If the interview is for a job in Portland wear the skinny/high water jeans, they dig those here.

Never thunk about it. I've had a beard of one shape or another since 1973 when I got out of high school. I don't do a thing with it. Comb it sometimes. Let it get to looking like Uncle Si sometimes. What ever. When I've got it long during the holidays I get some stares from the kids.

I should have figured though that PDX would have shops JUST for beard maintenance supplies?

I don't really have the delicate figure for them jeans. It would look like an overstuffed sausage.


I've never given it much thought but now that I'm interviewing for different jobs I just figure I could use all the help I can find with first impressions, at least for the jobs I'm applying for.

If I were interviewing for a bouncer position it wouldn't matter but I'm trying to get into a slightly higher pay range

The thickness is, how do I put this, "werewolf grade".

Show off.

(If mine was thicker I'd so steal that)

Stole the wife's conditioner and conditioned my beard, left it wet and blowdried it while combing it then added some of the balm/wax and that really held up.

Made a Yuge difference in my cleanup.

Thanks to all that added their tips and tricks

The beard balm masks the smell. Just like deodorant.

The stuff my wife got for me has a very light to no smell and she has a nose (figuratively) of a blood hound and doesn't like strong smells. So it worked out.

Sounds like my beard after a rendezvous ...
I just use whatever shampoo and conditioner is in the shower at the time.

Now where is that Beard thread again....

Lol.

Speaking of sebum, I have old piercing holes in ears from when you could stick sharpies through them... that stuff and funk builds up in there and is gawd awful if I forget to clean it out in the shower.

This reminds me of the "personal hygiene" block of instruction we (mostly a bunch of 17-19 year olds) received in Army basic training from Drill Sgt. Rogers (6'4" bubba from Alabama who we called "Sasquatch" behind his back, LOL) who had the habit of rolling his eyes upwards as he slowly closed them while talking... it went something like this:


LISTEN UP PRIVATES!! Personal hygiene is critical to the health and welfare of EVERY soldier, and it affects the readiness of your unit and it's ability to complete its mission! WASH YOUR NASTY A$$! I REPEAT.... WASH YOUR NASTY A$$!! Don't EVER make me have to tell you, it'll go REAL bad for you. WASH YOUR NASTY A$$!
