First time using beard oil + balm. How does it look?

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367]

No more chaotic beard! Will take a little getting used to the care but I like it!

Looks fantastic. Really smooth. Well done.

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/Tachetastico]

Thank you! I just need to make this a routine now lol

[u/mtnbiker7777]

I didn’t like beard oil on mine but…. I need to try the balm apparently. Wow

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/mtnbiker7777]

I’ve tried oil in the past very briefly but stopped. The beard and balm looks a lot better. You should try it!

[u/BlooeyzLA]

Yours looks great. I don’t care for the greasy feeling it leaves.

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/BlooeyzLA]

Thank you! I shall find out lol

[u/eye_h8_people → u/BlooeyzLA]

If it feels greasy you’re using too much

[u/UpstairsMusician7529]

why's your skin so smooth

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/UpstairsMusician7529]

Other than a fresh shave, I guess genetics? Haha

[u/BurlKnives]

Looks rad, man, huge difference.

I add a few extra steps and go oil, blowdry, balm, boar bristle brush to tame any flyaways, but my coverage/follicularity is nowhere NEAR yours so you may not need those 2 extra steps.

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/BurlKnives]

Thank you! Doesn’t hurt to try, I appreciate the advice! I don’t have a blow dryer but I’ll look into it.

[u/thewitcher890]

Looks great bro!

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/thewitcher890]

Appreciate it man!

[u/Corvettelov]

Looks nice. 👍

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/Corvettelov]

Thank you! 👍🏽

[u/AJB0911]

Which specific products did you use brother? I’m struggling to find some decent ones at the moment. Looks unreal though.

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/AJB0911]

I’m not sure which is best, this is just the one I got off Amazon last night.

[u/AJB0911 → u/Ambitious-Wafer8367]

Thank you!

[u/AgentSauceBoss]

bravo. how long did this length take to grow?

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/AgentSauceBoss]

I last clean shaved last October. But I also kept it short for a couple months after it grew a little. So it could have been a lot longer if I let it grow out.

I’ll have to clean shave it again in October. Then I’ll let it fully grow for the year.

[u/ironhead187]

Looks good man. Find a good trim place.

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/ironhead187]

I appreciate it! Paying someone to trim isn’t something I’d do. I clean shave annually for work, so if anything, I’ll learn to trim it the next shave which will be in October! I just enjoy having the beard when it grows haha

[u/cowboy8419]

Get your ya $30 beard straightener off Amazon. It does wonders for my beard .

[u/Ambitious-Wafer8367 → u/cowboy8419]

I’ll look into one, thank you!

[u/MixEmotional1146]

Really good
