So I'm a week into stubble-growth, awaiting the 10 day period where I decide if it looks good or just grubby, but feck!! - how do you full beardies or permanent designer stubble types put up with itching!!!!!! Think waterboarding would be preferable...
Suzi, combing is addictive. I find myself combing my beard as I am driving at work. I've even forgotten I have left the comb in the beard and get some weird looks from passing cars when they see it stuck to the side of my face.
I haven't had a comb since I had hair. Well, hair longer than a few millimetres anyway. Stirred an odd memory though - back in the 80s, a friend used to go out with one of his mums soft tubular hair curlers in his pocket in lieu of a comb. He'd slip it over his finger and slide it through his locks, and swore that it was easier than a comb to keep the style looking right ! Got him some odd looks though...
Just keep it clean or you will get spots under your beard. Dont be tempted to trim it. Its going to take a few months(3 or 4) to fill out as well. Thats if your hiing full on hairy beast and not a neat and tidy look.
Beard oil is good. As is beard wax if you want to style out.
Lmfaooo at 66 with the comb in ya beard haha 😂 😂 love it the image now 😄 And pmsl panunu at your mate with his mum's curlers... If I tried that with my hair I'd end up having to cut the curler out I'm sure hahaha 😝 😝
You could visit Lings Norfolk Triumph at Watton - they have a men’s grooming products display in their clothing and accessories section - so you could combine two interests at once - bikes and beards !
A friend recommended Nivea Sensitive Post-Shave Balm. Don't know if they make it for men though! 😆 Worked a treat in the early itchy-scratchy days but don't need anything now.
It's easing off now. Getting to/past the 2 week stage is key I think, and brushing helps. I'm going to give it a month and see how it looks and feels after then
How long is it now?? I was just looking at pics on your profile to try see what suited you most bestest..... Mind you that's all a matter of personal taste
Yeah I looked at your pics too P. and the beard looks good on you so far but I think you would suit it even longer, however if it is still annoyingly itchy after all these months just shave it off :)
