Guys Preparing for a Night Out in Style: Primping to Party Perfection with Beard Boys

Whether you’re getting ready for a formal affair or simply hitting the bar with the boys, we assume you’ll want to look your best. Grooming for men can take time depending on the look you’re going for and how you like to wear your facial hair, but with these simple steps you’ll be ready to go in no time.

 

The Simple Approach

“I’m a very simple guy, so all I do is wash my face with some cleanser, brush my hair and style it with a little wax, and get dressed. I’m old school so I really don’t do much grooming.”

– Christopher, 26 

 

This method of grooming is perfect for those who like to keep things clean, neat and simple and also takes the least amount of time. Here is the how to,  Start by softening your facial hair with warm water and cleanse it with the Beard Soap by Beard boys. Once your beard is all soft and clean, go in with the Beard Boys Shaving Cream for a smoother and cleaner shave. Pat the skin dry, instead of rubbing, to avoid irritating your freshly shaved skin and moisturise with the Body Cream, which is suitable for your hands, face and body. 

 

The Bearded Bro

“Before I go out, I visit my barber for a haircut that fades my sideburns into my beard so the look flows. I use beard soap to soften the hair as it tangles and feels a little rough the thicker it gets. Thereafter, I moisturise my beard to keep it hydrated and soft, and I comb it throughout the day to keep it in shape.”

Treslin, 26

 

Just as the hair on your head, your beard needs regular washing and styling for it to look and feel good. To keep your beard looking sharp and in tip-top shape, you want to set aside some time to wash, comb and shave (yes, shave) your beard.  Start by softening and cleansing the hair with beard soap so that it’s easier to detangle and shape. Once the hair is softened and cleansed, pat it dry with a towel and lightly comb it (and admire it). For shaving, ditch the blades and go in with a beard trimmer and lightly trim the hair on your neck blending it into your beard. Be careful not to completely remove your neck hair as this could make your beard look like a chin strap. Once that’s done, comb your beard again and snip away any pieces that have grown out weirdly to keep things in shape. The best tools to get the job done are in the Wooden Grooming Kit by Beard Boys.

 

The Inbetweener

“I’m sort of on the fence about growing a beard because I don’t like to bother too much with grooming, but I look like a two-year-old with my freshly shaven face. Sometimes I let it grow out depending on my mood, but then I shave it all off and so it goes.”

Justin, 22

 

If you can’t decide between a baby face and a bearded face, at least be sure on your facial cleansing method. To avoid any skin surprises when you shave it all off, go in with a cleansing face wash to make sure nothing is lurking in the bushes. If you’re keeping the beard, follow up with a moisturiser that hydrates your skin along with a balm for your beard. Tired of the fuzz? Lather up with a shaving cream and shave in the direction of the hair to get the mass off and then go against the grain for a clean shave, but don’t do this too often as it could cause ingrown hairs. Follow up with a moisturiser for a smooth and hydrated finish.
