The Brass Baron’s Guide to Beard Care

Beard care isn’t complicated. It’s about consistency, restraint, and using the right tools at the right time.

Whether you’re early in the process or years in, the principles remain the same.

The Essentials

A good routine starts with intention.

In the morning, use beard serum to hydrate the skin and soften the beard before the day begins.

In the evening, after washing or showering, apply beard butter to condition deeply while the beard rests.

If your beard needs light guidance during the day, use beard balm in the morning to manage shape and keep things tidy.

There is no universal routine. The right one is the one your beard responds to.

Beard Wash - The Foundation

Cleanliness comes first.

Use beard wash several times a week to remove buildup, sweat, and excess oil without stripping the skin. A proper beard wash cleans gently and leaves the beard prepared for conditioning.

Always follow with serum or butter. Washing resets the beard. Conditioning maintains it.

Beard Butter - Conditioning Without Weight

Beard butter is designed for comfort and recovery.

It softens coarse hair, hydrates the skin beneath, and helps reduce irritation, itch, and dryness. Used regularly, it keeps the beard supple and manageable without adding unnecessary weight.

Best applied at night, when absorption is uninterrupted.

Beard Balm - Daytime Structure

Beard Balm is for control, not force.

It provides conditioning with light structure to guide the beard into place. Ideal for reducing flyaways, maintaining shape, and keeping fuller beards presentable throughout the day.

It should never feel stiff. If it does, you’ve used too much.

Using Your Products

There’s no fixed order - only what your beard needs.

Morning - Beard Serum coupled with beard balm if needed.
Evening - Beard Butter after washing or showering.
As needed - Beard Balm for additional control.
Routine - brush and comb regularly to keep the beard trained.

Adjust as required. Pay attention to how your beard responds.

Brushing & Combing

Tools matter.

A proper beard brush exfoliates the skin and distributes product evenly.
A well-made comb detangles and refines shape, particularly on longer beards.

Avoid plastic tools where possible. They generate static, which leads to dryness, flyaways, and an unruly beard.

Heat & Straightening

Heat should be used sparingly and with care.

Only straighten a beard when it is completely dry. Product and heat require separation.
After straightening, apply beard butter or Serum to reduce dryness and maintain softness.

If using beard serum beforehand, apply it well in advance to allow full absorption.

On Beard Growth

There are no shortcuts.

Genetics determine growth. Care determines condition. Healthy skin and properly maintained hair grow better over time.

Consistent use of well-formulated products supports that process. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Final Notes

A good beard isn’t rushed.
It’s looked after.

Use what works. Maintain it properly.
Let time do the rest.

If you have questions, ask.
That’s what we’re here for.
