You simply put away your razor and trimmer and wait. That’s all there is to it - or so most men would have you believe. But if you’re into style, which I know you are, there’s a lot to learn about growing a beard. Introduction: This guide is for those of you that are first-time beardsmen and who don’t know what to expect. I’ll help you overcome common pitfalls and issues that arise with having a beard and after reading this e-book you should have all the tools you need to sport a beard that makes you proud. Eric Bandholz – The Bandholz Beard Return to Table of Content The Ultimate Beard Guide – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 4 Since this will be the most epic, comprehensive e-book on bearding on the internet, I’ve broken it up into three sections: 1. Growing and Grooming Your Beard 2. The Mind of a Beardsman 3. Picking a Beard: The Beard Style Guide There are any number of reasons to grow a beard: looking more manly bucking the clean-shaven trend hiding a weak chin impressing your girlfriend/family/wome n in general protecting your face from harsh weather cultural reasons it’s really awesome Return to Table of Content The Ultimate Beard Guide – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 5 But ultimately the reasons you should grow a beard are totally up to you as an individual. What you shouldn’t be thinking is that you’re lazy and couldn’t be bothered to shave - a good-looking beard takes time and effort. Personally I’ve found incredible friends through beard clubs, gotten tons of compliments from random strangers and have had my career skyrocket thanks to growing and maintaining a good beard. Your results will vary but what I can promise you is that when you grow a beard, it won’t be the same old status quo. Growing and Grooming Your Beard Before you get started, have a look at our “A Man’s Guide to Beards” Infographic. It’ll be a while before you have to worry too much about actually shaping your beard, but it does help to know where you’re going with your beard. Phase 1: Waiting For Your Beard To Grow The best thing to do when growing a beard is to put away the razor and put your patience to the test. A beard is not actually measured in length, but in months, so one of the most impressive traits you’ll gain as a beardsman is patience. Return to Table of Content The Ultimate Beard Guide – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 6 As a beardsman your regular milestones will be: a 1 month beard 3 month beard a yeard (year long beard) Once you reach these lofty goals, you may be tempted to try for the holy grail of beards – the Terminal Beard, which is the maximum length you can genetically grow. With each length you’ll be presented with slightly different challenges. 1. No Longer Beardless: The Itchy Phase As a beardless to about 2 weeks beardsman, you may notice that your beard gets pretty itchy, may appear patchy and is generally shaggy. The reason your beard is itchy is that when you shave you’re essentially creating little spears on the tips of each hair. Return to Table of Content The Ultimate Beard Guide – 2nd Edition 2017 – Copyright Real Men Real Style Page 7 Eventually they get long enough to bend around and poke at your skin. Your neck is very susceptible to this because of the angle where the neck meets the head and this explains the itchiness.For this stage you have several option: 1. Man up and wait. It’s only temporary and will pass shortly. 2. Apply ample amounts of moisturizer like a beard oil or other applicable product. Avoid moisturizers containing alcohol as they’ll dry out your skin and worsen the itchiness. 3. In the early stubble phase (day 1 or 2) use Soft Goat scruff softener. This product is designed to help make stubble softer and more kissable. During this time you shouldn’t be using a shampoo on your beard as the length is still fairly short. I’d recommend using a natural bar of soap that doesn’t have irritant chemicals in them (like sodium laureth sulfate). There are a lot of soap options out there, and one I’ve personally used and enjoyed is Rocky Top Soap. Once you get through the itchy phase you’ll get to the point where your beard will look untidy. To neaten up your look I recommend trimming the neckline, upper cheeks, and mustache lip. However, If you’re going for the yeard, or natural beard, you should leave your beard untouched.

Men will typically get a little ambitious with their razors, cut too much off and then simply shave their entire beard off in frustration. Because of the risk of mistakes I recommend waiting at least a month to trim if possible. Most new beardsmen also tend uploads/s3/ ultimate-beard-guide 1 .pdf
