Beard Maintenance
-
Was wondering how often other guys trim their beards and what products and routines they use. Think this will be interesting and would be great if you could post where you are from.
Gay, 54, Furry guy in San Francisco, CA USA/EUA.
Have been a big fan of facial hair ever since I saw bearded guys in the 70's while growing up in South America. I couldn't wait to grow a moustache and then a beard.
Right now I am sporting a short vandyke/goatee. I am not one of the fortunate ones that grows a thick beard all over my face, but my chin does have thick coverage.
For me I use a Norelco Beard trimmer every week (I like the one I have since it has a lithium battery which doesn't have a memory problem like Ni-Cad battery models). I also condition my beard with beard oils I bought off Amazon - favorites are ones with woodsy manly smells.
When my beard gets too gray I use aJust For Men for beards, and always choose a tone lighter than my beard to tame down the gray but not get rid of it. Not a fan of obviously colored hair or beards.
Bonus question: What do you guys do with your eyebrows? Mine grow wild and my barber goes after them with a pair of scissors to get the strays every 6 weeks. The older I get the more strays I get.

Once a month, or month and a half actually I let my beard wet wild I mean I let grow until I really think I need to get trimmed. Everytime I go to the barber for a haircut ,every two weeks He combs and trim my eyebrows, not much changes over there just some wild hairs may be

Full beard in Ohio…three inches below chin; it's going grey in places a little, but I'm dark blonde hair so it is not so shocking a color difference (for now). I trim as little as possible--once a month now. I wash and condition with what I use for my head hair. I use a spray in oil for styling...but only a little. eyebrows? I have a norelco trimmer for that...it has two guard lengths for eyebrows and you just swipe in the direction of growth to trim.

Trim it once a month slowly smoothing down towards my neck

Once a month, it takes really a lot to grow and it does only by areas so unfortunately I could have never grown a full bear, I'd love to have one.
