3. HOW TO CORRECTLY APPLY BEARD OIL

Now that you’ve chosen your go-to beard oil, it’s time to take it for a spin. And, really, there’s not a lot to applying beard oil – put a couple of drops of it in the palm of your hand, then use your fingers to gently rub it on and inside of your beard.
Make sure that you get it down deep, because beard oil is good for both your facial skin and hair.
How much should you apply? A couple of drops will usually do the trick, but you may need more depending on the length of your beard. If you are new to the game and your beard is shorter than half an inch, a couple of drops will work just fine.
The best time to apply beard oil is after you shower, or after splashing your face with warm water. This will open the pores, and damp hairs will better absorb the oil. But damp doesn’t mean wet. Towel dry your face and beard first. You’ve heard the saying: oil and water don’t mix.

4. INGREDIENTS AND BENEFITS OF USING BEARD OIL

Let’s take a closer look at what makes up your go-to beard and conditioner oils, as well as their benefits. It all comes down to carrier oils and essential oils.

CARRIER OILS

Carrier oils are so named because they carry an essential oil to the skin. They dilute essential oils so that they can be applied to the skin, and thus impart the essential oil’s scent and therapeutic qualities.
A carrier oil provides nourishment for your hair and skin while providing a medium to carry and dilute more volatile essential oils. They are generally cold-pressed vegetable oils derived from the fatty portions of a plant.

COMMON CARRIER OILS FOUND IN BEARD OIL

JOJOBA OIL

• Jojoba Oilis extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia Chinensis), which is indigenous to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
• Jojoba Oil is structurally very similar to – and mimics – your natural body oils (sebum). Because of the way it closely matches your own natural oils, it is quickly absorbed by your face and beard. It’s the most common carrier oil found in beard oils.
• Jojoba oil is loaded with vitamins and minerals, like B vitamins, vitamin E, vitamin D, and zinc – that are great for skin and hair.

Benefits: Jojoba oil is extremely safe to use and non-allergenic. It also won’t clog your pores. It can help fight acne, moisturizes, cleanses and conditions the skin, is anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal, helps aid hair growth, and even provides sunburn relief.

ARGAN OIL

Goats climbing an Argan tree.

• Arganoil is native to Morocco and is produced from the kernels of the Argan  Not only is argan ideal for skin and hair, but Moroccans dip bread in it, or drizzle it on pasta and couscous.
• Arganoil has become increasingly popular for cosmetic use, and the Moroccan government has said that it will significantly increase production by the year 2020.
• It’s rich in antioxidants, including vitamin E, vitamin A, Omega-6 fatty acids, and linoleic acid.

Benefits: Soothes razor bumps and burns after shaving, is a great nighttime moisturizer, fights acne, relieves and conditions cracked lips, and makes hair easier to style while repairing split ends.

GRAPE SEED OIL

• Grape seed oil is pressed from the seeds of grapes and is a by-product of the wine-making process. It has a higher concentration of linoleic acid than most carrier oils, and linoleic acid has anti-inflammatory, moisture-retentive, and acne-reductive properties.
• It’s a commonly used cosmetic ingredient for controlling skin moisture.
• Grape seed oil is considered “mellow” for the skin and is loaded with antioxidants.

Benefits: It’s moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, fights acne, and softens hair while fighting dandruff.

ALMOND OIL

• Almonds, which come from a species of tree native to the Middle East and South Asia, are a rich source of oil.
• Almond oilis produced by cold-pressing dried almonds.
• Almond oil contains omega-9 fatty acid, linoleic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid, and is also a rich source of vitamin E.

Benefits: Moisturizes the skin, is anti-inflammatory, provides sun protection, prevents split ends, and softens and shines hair.

CASTOR OIL

• Castor oil is obtained by pressing theseeds of the castor oil plant, which is native to East Africa.
• It’s a pale yellow liquid that’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and has been used for centuries because of its therapeutic and medicinal benefits.
• Castor oil is said to strengthen the immune system and has been used to treat major ailments and illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, arthritis pain, and is used totreat hair loss.

Benefits: Stimulates hair growth, treats split ends, helps reduce acne, moisturizes, and helps treat infections.

COCONUT OIL

• Coconut oil– also know as Copra oil – is extracted from the kernel or meat of matured coconuts harvested from the coconut palm tree.
• Coconut oil is rich in iron and has small amounts of vitamin E and K.

Benefits: Coconut oil has many benefits when it comes to hair, including as a moisturizer, conditioner, as a treatment for dandruff, stimulating hair growth, while also treating and preventing lice.

VITAMIN E (OIL)

• Vitamin E oil is produced directly through distillation from oils such as soy, corn, or canola.
• It’s often overlooked because of newer products and ingredients, but vitamin E has actually been used in skin and hair care for many years.

Benefits: Vitamin E is both a nutrient and antioxidant that promotes collagen and elastin production, is used to treat sunburns, relieves chapped lips and cold sores, and stimulates hair growth while repairing split ends.

ESSENTIAL OILS

When you think of essential oils, think of the fragrance of the plant. Essential oils are what give plants their characteristic aroma, and are considered concentrated volatile compounds.
They can be distilled from aromatic botanical plants, roots, bark and leaves. They don’t provide the health benefits of carrier oil, but they give beard oil its aroma.
Essential oils are separated into three fragrance categories- top note, middle note, and base note – which is based on volatility and the time they are sensed after application.

COMMON ESSENTIAL OILS FOUND IN BEARD OIL

EUCALYPTUS

• Considered a top note, eucalyptus has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s also considered an astringent (tightens skin).

SANDALWOOD

• Sandalwood relieves itching and is an anti-inflammatory as well as an astringent. It’s considered a base note.

 5. BEARD BALM & BEARD WAX (EXPLAINED)

Beard oil, beard conditioner, beard wax (a.k.a. mustache wax) – it can all get kind of confusing. They’re similar but different products, all with the same goal of making your facial hair look incredible.
But let’s take a quick look at beard balm and beard wax to help alleviate some of that confusion, all while helping you keep your beard looking its best, of course.

BEARD BALM

To put it simply, beard balm is a leave-in conditioner. It moisturizes, conditions, softens and helps you style your beard. The majority of beard balms contain shea butter (for softening and moisturizing), sweet almond oil (for conditioning and growth), and a sealant such as beeswax (to retain moisture).
The big difference between beard balm and beard oil is that balm is thicker and can be used as a styling agent. Some say balm is better during the early stages of beard growth when it’s more scruff than the real thing.
If you’re up for trying some balm, consider something like the Seven Potions Beard Balm . It does everything you’d expect from a good balm – conditions your beard while leaving it softer, stops beard itch, reduces split ends, helps in the fight against beardruff, etc. A  bonus, however, is that it smells fantastic.

BEARD/MUSTACHE WAX

Beard wax is basically the facial hair equivalent of hair spray. It’s used to sculpt and hold your beard and mustache in place, and usually contain beeswax, coconut oil, or shea butter.
Think of that guy with the great handlebar mustache that no one can keep their eyes off of; that’s being held in place by mustache wax. And it’s nothing new because the use of wax on facial hair dates to the Victorian era and beyond.
An excellent example of a quality beard/mustache wax is The Bearded Goon’s Ridiculously Strong Beard and Handlebar Mustache Wax  — another product that’s been around a couple of centuries. Its ingredients include beeswax and coconut oil.
A couple of general rules about wax. First, a lot of men categorize them as being soft, medium or firm. Soft wax is typically used in shorter mustaches to help control stray hairs while also providing a subtle sheen.
Medium and firm waxes work well in longer growth and are used for control and styling.

Best Rotary Shaver For Men in 2019

A good rotary shaver can make a big difference in any man’s life. Just remember that there are tons of rotary shavers out there and not all of them are going to be worth the time or money. With that being said, you really have to do a lot of research to ensure that you’re going to get your money’s worth.
Once you’ve managed to find the best rotary shaver, you’ll be able to get a close, comfortable shave in a matter of minutes. So, what do you need to consider when attempting to buy a good rotary shaver? You’ll find out in the comprehensive buying guide below.
Difference Between Rotary And Foil
You need to know that there are some differences between rotary and foil shavers. Both are capable of delivering big results. However, you need to understand that the usage of the two is going to vary significantly. And, if you do not use the shaver in the right manner, you’re going to experience big problems.
Using it in the wrong way will cause serious pain and suffering. So, what is the difference? Well, foil shavers will operate in a linear motion. This means that you have to move them forward and backward.
With a rotary shaver, the shaver will operate in a circular manner. You’ll need to move the shaver around in a circular motion.
This will decrease the likelihood that the shaver is going to pull and tug on your hair. It will also decrease the risk of in-grown hairs, itching, soreness, and skin irritation.
Perks Of Rotary Trimmers
You’re probably wondering why you want to choose a rotary shaver over a foil shaver. The truth of the matter is that both have certain perks. First and foremost, you should know that rotary trimmers often offer a better battery life than the alternatives.
They’re also usually more lightweight and compact. While it depends on the specific model in question, you can almost always save yourself some money by choosing a rotary trimmer.
It is impossible to lose weight either type. Just familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of each and go from there. As long as you do that, there is a good chance that you’re going to be satisfied with your investment.
Buying Guide For Rotary Shavers
Now, it is time to learn how to buy a rotary shaver. There are plenty of options out there and you’ll need to weed through the bad ones to find a good one. Many people believe that price is the most important factor, but this isn’t always the case. Below, you’re going to discover other factors that also need to be taken into consideration.
Price
As mentioned above, price is often the first thing that consumers think about. It is definitely important, but you should not allow the price to steer you in the wrong direction. Buying a much more expensive razor doesn’t mean that you’re going to get the best deal.
In fact, you might be better off with a less expensive model. Always take price into consideration, but never allow it to cloud your judgment one way or another.
Self-Sharpening Blades
If you really want to get the most out of your money, you’ll definitely want to buy a razor with self-sharpening blades. This might increase the price a bit, but it is going to make a huge difference in the long run. Self-sharpening blades are just that.
They’re going to sharpen themselves when the razor is in use. This means that the blades will last much longer and you won’t be spending so much on replacements. To get the very best deal, you’ll definitely want to buy a shaver with self-sharpening blades.
Ergonomics
It is also vital to make sure that you’re going to be able to use the razor comfortably. Some will be more comfortable to use than others. If the razor is not ergonomically designed, you can guarantee that it is going to be a pain in the butt to use.
With this in mind, you should always opt for an ergonomic shaver. This will make it much more comfortable to use. Otherwise, you might find yourself throwing away your razor and switching it out for a new one.
Motor Strength
You never want your razor to pull and tug on your facial hair. This is something that is going to turn your life upside down. This is why you need to pay close attention to the motor strength. If the motor is weak, you might as well go ahead and pull on your own hair.
With a stronger motor, you won’t have to worry about it so much. The motor will be able to cut through the hair quickly and easily. In return, that will increase the likelihood that you’re able to get a comfortable shave without any skin irritation.
Corded Or Cordless
There are plenty of rotary shavers out there. Some of them can be used with the power cord. Others are cordless. Then, there are models that are corded and cordless. The truth of the matter is that there are perks associated with both.
If you want the maximum amount of freedom, you will definitely want to buy a razor that can be used with or without the cord. This will ensure that you’re able to use your razor pretty much anywhere. And, it’ll help you avoid needing to stop in the middle of a shave to recharge completely.
Battery Life
If you’re going to be buying a shaver that is cordless, you’ll definitely need to put a lot of emphasis on the battery. After all, the battery is what is powering the shaver. What is going to happen if you’ve only got a few minutes of battery life?
You’ll need to wait for the battery to charge and that could cause you to be late for work. You need the longest battery life that you can possibly get. At the same time, you’ll want to pay close attention to the battery’s charging time. How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
A quicker charge time is always ideal.
Outer Shell
You need to make sure that your shaver is going to withstand the test of time. This is why you need to look at the outer shell. Some razors are going to break when they hit the ground.
You want to avoid these models. You need a shaver that can take a lot of abuse and continue working. Be sure that the shell is very tough. Otherwise, you’ll be forced to replace your razor much quicker than you might want to.
Stays Cool
You should also know that some razors are going to get hot to the touch. If that is the case, there is a possibility that they’re going to burn your skin and that is not fun.
When attempting to find a good one, you need to go to great lengths to ensure that your razor is going to remain cool to the touch at all times. This will help you avoid burning your skin and getting frustrated.
Waterproof
It is absolutely pertinent to spend some time looking for a waterproof shaver. No, you’re not going to be swimming with the shaver. Nevertheless, a waterproof model can make a big difference.
First and foremost, a waterproof shaver can be used in the shower. This will allow you to warm up your skin and decrease the risk of skin irritation.
At the same time, a waterproof shaver means that you’ll be able to run the razor underneath the faucet. That will make cleaning it up much easier.
Pop-Up Trimmer
A feature included on most rotary shavers is a pop-up trimmer. This feature plays a key role in helping men keep their moustache and sideburns trimmed neatly. If the shaver does not come with this feature, it is highly likely that you will have to make a separate investment.
Fortunately, this is hardly the case, but it is still a possibility. So, to get the most out of your shaver, it is crucial to make sure that it has a pop-up trimmer.
Long Life Shaving Head
A head is one of the most important components of a rotary shaver. This feature is responsible for drawing the hair inward, so the blades can easily cut them away.
The shaving head must be replaced frequently to ensure the highest performance at all times. And, it can cost anywhere from $20 to $40 or more, depending on the brand of the rotary shaver. Fortunately, some models have a shaving head that offers a 12-month lifespan, which make them more cost-efficient.
Wet And Dry Shaving Capabilities
If you like to switch up your shaves, alternating from dry on workdays and wet shaves on the weekends, you will need a shaver that offers both capabilities.
Fortunately, most models are designed to offer both wet and dry shave. This basically means that they can be utilized with or without shaving gels and in the shower.
Superior Comfort
Comfort and full control will play a big role in how well you shave. Along with the ergonomic handle, it is crucial that the shaver weigh 10 ounces or less to ensure the most control and comfort.
Be sure to check out the rotary shaver’s weight, before making a purchase, because if it is too heavy it will not deliver comfort or easy handling.
Thorough Cleaning
Cleaning a shaver is not a task that men enjoy. In fact, most men detest it and will put it off as long as possible. If you detest cleaning your shaver, you should consider only brands that are fully washable.
This design allows for the shaver head and blades to cleaned with running tap water. The water will wash away the trapped hairs, resulting in a quicker and more thorough cleaning.
Quick Charge
If you often forget to charge your shaver, it is highly likely that you have experienced a dead battery at some point. This can be extremely frustrating, plus some shavers are not designed to operate when charging.
Fortunately, there are some models that feature a quick charge, allowing the battery to charge enough for a three-minute shave. This will provide you with enough power to complete your grooming and give the battery enough time to fully charge later on.
Run Time
Another factor to consider is the run time. Again, if you want to spend more time shaving and less time charging, you will need to invest in a model with a high-quality lithium ion.
This particular battery will provide up to 60 minutes of shaving time. However, it is crucial to note that the shaving time will vary from one brand to another.
Shaving System
A high-quality rotary shaver should be capable of shaving both short stubble and long hair. If it cannot do this, then it will be rendered totally useless.
Not every man takes the time to shave their beard and moustache hair when it is a short stubble. In fact, the time between each shave will vary from one day to the next. So, make sure the shaver is capable of cutting all hair lengths.
Included Accessories
In many cases, you’re not just getting a shaver. The manufacturer will usually provide you with a handful of accessories and this is very important.
It is always best to get everything you need in a convenient bundle. Be sure that the package includes a cleaning brush, lubricating oil, manual, and a cleaning station.
By getting everything from the get go, you won’t have to worry about buying things in the future. That can save you a little bit of money!
Research The Manufacturer
There are many companies that make rotary shavers. Some of these companies are great, but others aren’t worth your money.
This is another thing that you need to consider when trying to buy a good razor. If you choose the wrong manufacturer, there is a good chance that you’re going to get burned. Something might go wrong with the unit and you might not be able to get it replaced.
You need dependable customer service and this is why you must pay a lot of attention to the company behind the product. Do that and you’ll be able to increase the likelihood that your investment will be worth it.
Warranty
Last, but certainly not least, you should put a significant amount of emphasis on the warranty of the razor. This could really make or break it in the long run. After all, there are plenty of things that could potentially go wrong with your razor.
The battery could die or the motor may malfunction. There are tons of moving components and you just never know what might happen.
This is why you’ll want to get the longest warranty you can find. Do that and you’ll be able to avoid paying for another razor in the near future.
Philips Norelco Electric Shaver 8900
There are many amazing rotary shavers out there. Still, it is true that some are going to outperform the competition. This is where the Philips Norelco 8900 enters the picture.
This is without a doubt one of the very best shavers out there and it helps to justify why Philips is a leader in the industry. This shaver offers a great deal of perks. For instance, it is going to deliver perfection in pretty much every single pass.

Perhaps the most important similarity that we notice when we compare shaving cream vs soap is that they are both very affordable product which can be purchased by just about anyone. Accordingly, anybody who is mostly concerned about the differences between these products in terms of affordability should understand that both are very affordable. However, soap tends to be slightly more affordable than shaving cream.
Shaving Cream vs Soap: Differences
As we can see, there are various relevant similarities that come up as we compare shaving cream vs soap. However, there are also some differences that you should be aware of. Especially if you intend to make a decision as to which product you will use for the long-term. Accordingly, it’s important that you understand the major differences between both of these products. Specifically, in terms of shaving and which one helps produce the best results.
How They Are Commonly Used
Soap is one of the most versatile products on the market. It can be used for all sorts of cleaning and washing related fields, and is also an effective product to use on the human body for staying clean. Shaving cream, on the other hand, is most commonly used by people for the sole purpose of shaving. One of the most major differences between these two products, then, is the perception of how they should be used. Since they are commonly used for different purposes, it is easy to understand why there is controversy over using soap for shaving in the first place.
The Included Ingredients
Soap doesn’t always come with ingredients which are put in for the purpose of moisturizing your face. After all, many people who suffer from occasional acne breakout will avoid shaving soaps which include some sort of oil which can clog your pores. However, the main difference between shaving soap and soap which you shouldn’t use for shaving is whether or not it will moisturize your hair and skin. Shaving cream will almost always contain a moisturizer since it helps make your hairs soft enough to be easily cut.
Other Potential Uses
Odds are high that anybody who purchases shaving soap will use the soap for much more than just shaving. In all reality, then, shaving soap is the more versatile product since you can use it for various sanitary purposes which don’t involve shaving. Shaving cream, on the other hand, will likely sit in your bathroom and only be used when it comes time to shave. If you want a more versatile product, you might then choose shaving soap over shaving cream.
Why You Can Use Both of These Products for Shaving
As we have mentioned, both of these products can be used successfully by those who wish to shave without negative problems occurring afterward like razor burn and bumps. Although there are many different people on both sides of the equation asserting that you should only use one of these products for shaving purposes, here are three reasons why you can use both shaving cream or soap to shave successfully.
Capable of Softening the Hair & Skin
When you try using shaving soap products specifically designed to help you shave, you will notice that they are just as capable of preparing your hair and skin to be shaved. When you find a product that makes the hair on your face easy to cut, and helps you smoothly move the blade across your skin without slipping, you know that you found a really effective shaving product which perfectly suits your needs.
Great with the Right Ingredients
Just like there are various shaving cream products which contain ingredients (like alcohol) which can hurt the skin, there are many different shaving soaps that you can find that can negatively impact your shaving experience. Accordingly, it’s important that you look at the ingredient label, regardless of whether it is shaving cream or soap, and ensure that it contains a moisturizer which can prevent razor burn. If both of these things are accounted for, it probably doesn’t matter which product you choose to use.
Protects Yourself from Razor Burn
Anybody who chooses a high-quality shaving soap or shaving cream will not have problems with razor burn. Of course, this is one of the most nightmarish things to deal with in the first place after you finish shaving. Accordingly, it is important to find a product which will keep your skin’s natural look after each shave. With the right product and ingredients, either shaving cream or soap can be used successfully to protect yourself from razor burn.
Shaving Cream vs Soap: Major Points & Summary
As we have demonstrated, there are many reasons why you should consider using both shaving cream or soap for your shaving needs. Since both of these products can be used to produce the precise results that you desire, finding the right shaving product with the best active ingredients and results should be your top concern.
