Mad Viking Beard Co. Mjolnir I have one of those coarse, thick beards. The kind that you may describe (as I have) as a pubic hair beard. Not the most flattering of descriptions, but we’re amongst friends. ​ Because of the coarse nature of my beard, many beard products...

When we talk about facial hair, we always like to make the point that facial hair is part of a context, your overall style (more on this in our blog post on beard grooming tips for beginners). Part of that, of course, is trying to decide which styles go with what...

I’ve made quite a few friends in the industry in the past year or so, and when they ask me to write stuff for their blogs, about 50% of the time, they ask me to write a beard grooming guide for beginners. So, I figured it was about time I put together a little guide...

Sam Elliot is an actor whose mustache may be more famous than he is. Have you ever wanted a handlebar mustache that won’t move, no matter how much your upper lip does? You are going to need a good, stiff mustache wax to accomplish that look. Before we get into the...

Ah, the goatee—the easiest facial hair style to screw up. If you do a beard wrong, it can make you look creepy. If you do your hair wrong, you can look totally unkempt. But a goatee can be much, much worse. If you choose the wrong goatee style, you can end up looking...

When you think about it, guys have been using shaving brushes for a few hundred years. There is probably a good reason for this, right? Definitely. The invention of canned shaving cream is incredibly useful, we aren't denying that, but you certainly don’t get the same...

I think it's safe to say that all of us as young men used to watch our dads shave in the mirror. Heck, most of us even joined them, shaving our peach fuzz with razors that had no blades. Really, it was such a regular process that when it was our time to pick up the...

The handlebar mustache is one of the classiest and most sophisticated facial hair styles of all time – provided, of course, you’ve got the right temperament and/or were born in the right time. While we may all like to throw on some mustache wax and tweak the sides of...

There’s something mystical about a beard. Something... manly. If it’s done well, that is. A beard is a tightrope walk. If yo>u nail it, it can do absolute wonders for your style. If you botch it, you’re going to look like a drunken teenage hobo. So it pays to get...

It takes a lot of balls to adopt the bald with beard look – mostly because shaving your head is always risky. And it’s especially risky if you’ve never done it before. There are just so many things that could go wrong. Plus, once you do it, there’s no going back....

This one’s going out to all you hipsters out there – keep that freak flag flying! Waxed mustaches may get a lot of hate sometimes, but they’re genuinely cool to try out; it’s a nicely subtle way to style your facial hair (if you do it right), and can help you create a...

One thing I’ve felt always gets ignored when people try to figure out what their facial hair should look like is the shape of their face. Like it or not, we don’t all look like Brad Pitt – and so much the better, since there are handsome faces of all shapes and sizes....
