For bearded men, their beard is the most distinguished aspect of their face. It signifies manliness, while also showcasing their ability to style themselves. And, has beards are fashionably ‘in’, their attractive appearance gives a man all the more reason to care for it.

Shaving – A Ritual, Trend Or Necessity?                                        Ever wondered how shaving was done before the razors were invented? Today, we have several options like trimmers, 3 blade razors, 5 blade razors, etc. Even in early times, people used to have some amount of facial hair and there must be a method to clean it off. Read on to know about how it was done before!                                       Before discussing about the topic, let us first understand what is meaning of word “Shave”. The dictionary describes shaving as removing the beard or other body hair, or cutting at the surface of the skin or removing growth of hair or with a razor or shaver or to cut or scrape away the surface off with a sharp-edged tool. It is being estimated that a man spends 3000 hours in his lifetime removing 25,000 facial hairs, which are as hard as copper wires of the same diameter. With spreading of shaving throughout the world, unshaven men of societies became known as "barbarians" meaning the "unbarbered". The practice of women shaving legs and underarms developed much later.                             The man has been shaving since Prehistoric Times. In fact shaving has a history as old as Stone Age, around 100,000BC, when Neanderthal man first started pulling hair from his body. Cave paintings have shown that early man discovered ways to remove hair from his face that are still being used today in modified form. In the beginning he simply plucked the hair out using seashells like tweezers. It was the early Egyptian men and women who have really established shaving and hair removal practice as regular part of daily grooming. The Egyptians had a personal obsession with body hygiene. The Greek historian Herodotus (485-425BC) commented that the Egyptians bathed several times a day and "set cleanliness above seemliness".                               Obsidian stone or stone razors were also used to shave. Obsidian stone is formed when the Felsic Lava cools down with minimum crystal growth. Obsidian stones were also used for surgical purposes because it's brittle and has very sharp edges. Even today, some people prefer doing it the old way. It's highly dangerous and requires practice to shave with this sharp stone!

With a great beard, comes great responsibility. If you do not take care of your facial hair, it’s going to get you in trouble. Beards have been trending for some time now. After all, something as legendary as a beard can never really go out of style. While you up your style quotient by growing a beard, bear in mind that growing one needs patience, love and a lot of looking after. No one likes a scraggly, unkempt beard – not even the people sporting them. Keeping that in mind, let us tell you about some of the common problems associated with beards. You can use this knowledge to never let anything bad happen to your beard.

No-Shave November is a celebration health. And while you grow that thick heave form of your face, it would be awkward if it doesn't have that healthy sheen, because growing a beard is easy but maintaining it is a whole different ball game. Here are 5 important tips that you should keep in mind when you go it.

A wise man once said, "life is better with a beard." He was right. Beards aren't a fad either, and if history has taught us anything it's that they're here to stay. Ancient Egyptians, the 300 Spartans, Abe Lincoln, and Mr. T all had one thing in common - Beards! It's not a trend. It's a lifestyle. Every bearded man, whether they consciously realize it or not, personifies the creed: do better every single day. That is to say, for men beards are a direct reflection into the men they are and the people we hope to be. Let’s face it: Growing a beard is a herculean task. It takes a ridiculous amount of patience, motivation and confidence. A “beard journey” is fraught with seemingly insurmountable peaks and valleys. Firstly let us understand why should we use a beard oil in the place. Beard growth oil for us is the holy grail of beard products. We all know that genes dictate how fast your beard grows. But, there is some evidence out there that shows certain oils create conditions that help the beard grow faster. So, this product can definitely help your beard grow a lot healthier and look after your skin, ensuring that your beard has every opportunity to grow as fast as possible. Ideally it should be used few times a week before you go to bed and it also acts as a deep conditioner overnight. This means your skin is going to be dandruff (bearddruff) free and easy to work in the morning when you wake up. Applying the oil ensures optimum hydration of the skin and can also act as a layer of protection against impurities.                                            Our Almond and thyme beard oil is “premium” because of the handpicked ingredients that make up our oil formula. This product only uses all natural and pure oils that are known to help moisturize, condition, strengthen, and style. The primary ingredients within our product formula are Almond and Thyme, along with other essential additions. 1. Jojoba  – Moisturizer that helps clean hair follicles. Rich in vitamin A and E, also helps prevent acne. 2. Almond  – Moisturizes, revitalizes, and conditions. Helps promote beard growth, blood flow, and is known to be rich in vitamin A, B1, B6, and E. 3. Argan – The perfect beard conditioner. Helps keep hair silkier, shinier, softer, and overall healthier. One of the most effective hair oils out there. 4. Rosemary - Essentially helps in hair growth, slows graying and is know to treat flaky skin and dryness. 5. Lemon - Lemon has anti-fungal properties that control the production oil 6. Geranium - Anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties that ensure healthy hair growth. 7. Hazelnut - Moisturizes and calms oily skin. 8. Thyme - Improves hair growth and blood circulation.                                                                           Most guys either use way too much oil, or only use a couple drops and dab in on their beard. The optimal timing to put oil in your beard is when your hair is softest and cleanest, and you can achieve that once you have taken a shower, preferably in lukewarm water, which will properly clean your hair and clear out dirt stuck in your follicles. You are going to want to massage the oil in deep, getting down to your skin underneath. Using a boar bristle brush after massaging is key in getting the oils spread evenly through your beard. The most effective way to tell if your beard oil needs to be washed off is to run fingers through it and feel the greasiness and oiliness in your beard. If your beard hair seems greasy and heavy, it means that the oil has been completely absorbed and your beard is now storing dirt on it, which is making your hair a little bit heavy. So if your hair feels greasy, go ahead and wash your beard, by using a beard shampoo which will be effective in cleaning all the dirt and oily effect from your beard. Beard oil is an essential addition to your bathroom regimen. An ideal beard oil will not only provide you with a dapper beard, it also provides great skin benefits for the skin under your beard. Beards are a growing trend, make sure yours is looking amazing!

Exercise. Sweating. Grime. Yeah, exercise isn’t everyone’s best friend. It’s uncomfortable, warm, and challenging if you’re doing it right. Unfortunately, one of the biggest truths we have to acknowledge as we grow older is that exercise becomes an essential component of a healthy lifestyle. What most people don’t know is that exercise can really help facilitate your beard gains. If you’re struggling with beard density or you just want to maintain the solid growth you have, adding exercise to your weekly routine will help stimulate growth and encourage healthy skin and hair. Exercise helps your beard through several different factors: how it affects your skin, how it affects your hair, how it affects your body and how it affects your hormones. Perspiring during exercises clears your pores of grime and dead skin, and helps “sweat out” existing toxins that affect your overall health. Have you ever noticed that you smell like booze after a hard night out? That’s because you’re sweating out excess chemicals that your body doesn’t need (i.e. booze). The same principle can be applied to regular exercise - get those toxins out of your system! A healthy body is achieved through eating healthy food and exercising regularly. In order for your skin and hair to fire on all cylinders, you want a healthy body to back it up. Exercise also increases circulation throughout your body, including your face. Encouraging circulation throughout your whole body helps your physiology absorb nutrients and oxygen more effectively. Amping up your circulation helps stimulate hair growth, too. Find Exercise You Enjoy This is probably the most important factor in your exercise journey. You don’t have to sign up at a gym in order to start exercising! There are tons of different ways to exercise regularly that don’t occur to everyone, which means there is an enjoyable physical activity out there waiting just for you. Here are some recommendations to help you find an exercise you enjoy: Power walk or jog around your neighborhood Swim laps at a local pool Try kayaking or rowing Check out hiking trails near your home Join a gym closer to work than home - this way you work out right before or right after work If you’re already a gym member, try a new class or cash in on a training session Check out a local indoor rock climbing gym Sign up for a trial martial arts class Yoga class - they’re harder than they look! Pilates class - again, way harder than it looks Spinning class - these are so popular that spinning “gyms” are on the rise Quantify Your Progress When we say “quantify your progress”, we mean track your exercise somehow. Once you start keeping track of your exercise - be it how many workouts you complete weekly, how many kilometres you run, or how long it takes to bike 10 miles - you can see yourself improve over time. Once you start seeing you’re getting better at your chosen exercise on paper, your brain’s neurochemical reward system will kick in and encourage you to exercise more.

To the 21st-century modern gentleman, the humble beard is more a sartorial statement of intent than a status symbol. Cheap, versatile and adaptable, facial hair can change the shape of a man’s face and completely alter how he looks in jeans and a T-shirt or a suit. A few whiskers here and there can make a baby face look older, draw attention away from a thinning thatch and hide a multitude of sins (or chins). In short, it allows a man to be the ultimate chameleon.

Our beard shampoo is a miracle cure for this, you can use as often as you like/need but I’d say every other day is a good amount of use and wash with just water in-between times. What makes the shampoo so good is it cleans the beard without stripping the oils out of it, this means it won’t dry out and cause itchiness. You can also use our beard oil to treat the itch. The oils come in 3 different scents so you can choose your favourite. Unlike others, our oils contain only natural nourishing ingredients and will leave your beard and the skin underneath well hydrated. Using the Shampoo and oil together is the dream team or if your beard is slightly longer in length, you might prefer the shampoo and balm as balm provides a bit of hold to shape your beard. You can find more about the difference between oil and balm here. Top tips After washing with the shampoo towel dry but still leave slightly damp, apply the oil and massage into the beard until it has fully absorbed. This way the pores are still open from the hot shower and the oil will soak into the skin much better before you start washing your beard After the initial 3 months, this should be around the time when your beard has fully set in and you can start doing a bit more with it. This would be a good time to determine what shape you’d like to have, and you can further your grooming routine to include brushing and styling  your beard using a beard wax.  Our beard comb is great for both the beard hair and skin underneath. It will leave your beard looking well preened and sleek, the tail teases the beard into the style you want without being too harsh on the hairs. The neem will also stimulate blood flow to the skin underneath as you comb which encourages hair growth.

Movember VS No-Shave November: Know your cause! We have gone through the first week of November. And the 4 0’clock shadows are now definite, pronounced stubbles. While the last few years have brought the beard game back into the limelight, the modern gentleman does pay special attention to this month specifically.  But is he absolutely sure about where he stands? Does he clearly distinguish between Movember and No-Shave November?  Some yes. For those of you who are still on the fence here’s something that will clear the mist a bit.  No-Shave November has been a tradition for many years. But it was in the fall of 2009 that members of the Chicagoland, Hill family decided to use it as a means to raise money for Cancer Research charity. It was after Mathew Hill, the then patriarch of the family, succumbed to colon cancer in 2007, that his 8 children embarked on this journey.   The world took notice and joined in on the cause.  What started as an easy way for a few followers on Facebook to donate to men’s health research programmes has turned into an international celebration.  Every November for the past six years, these No-Shavers have donated the cost of grooming (from a few dollars on razors to $100 on a salon visit) and helped the organization raise over millions of dollars to date.  Movember on the other hand was born out of very different circumstances. In 2003, two friends from Melbourne, Travis Garone and Luke Slattery, were having a quiet beer when their conversation turned to why the moustache, which was a solid deal-maker in the earlier decades, go out of style.  They joked about bringing it back. Inspired by a friend’s mother who was fundraising for breast cancer, they decided to make the campaign about men’s health and prostate cancer.  An email titled ‘Are you man enough to be my man? ‘ensued. 30 willing men stepped up.  Those first 30 Mo Bros paved the path, in 2004, for a more formal organisation.  Since those first few years, Movember has continued to grow at an extraordinary pace. There are now official campaigns in 21 countries raising millions to fund over 1,000 men’s health programs.  With the support of millions of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas from all over the world, Movember is working towards its vision: to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. No matter what the cause everyone is standing up for Men’s Health Awareness this November. And while you are at it, a little help would just make sure your manly mane shines like a beacon of hope.  Check out The Man Company Beard Combos and sail through November in style.
