A man’s beard practically has a life of its own, landing, as it does, front and center on his face, speaking just as much about his choices than any haircut, pair of glasses, or wardrobe ever could. If you're new to growing a beard, you've doubtless realized that this conscious style choice requires care and attention to detail.
That’s all the more reason the right products make all the difference. Beard care requires fastidious devotion;, shaped and trimmed to meet the desired effect (even if that effect is wild and wooly), and proper cleaning and conditioning for a healthy, comfortable, and great-looking facial display. Here are the products that we feel offer some of the best attributes for the category, from beard oils to beard conditioners.

Olivina Men Organic Shave Prep & Beard Oil
“Two-fer” products (conditioning shampoo or body wash and moisturizer in one) always help save crowded bathroom space and they’re great for travel. We gave extra points to Olivina for this Shave Prep & Beard Oil because if you have some facial hair but still shave, or alternate between a clean-shaven and a bearded look, this product is perfect. The soothing cedar and bergamot fragrance is just part of the product’s blend of organic oils.

Village Barber Beard Growth Oil
This special blend of natural ingredients is designed to help guys who are starting their beards by conditioning, nourishing, and hydrating both the skin and the beard hairs. In general, we like Village Barber’s beard oils because they have a light consistency that’s easy to work through your beard without feeling like it’s all getting stuck on your hands or in patches of the hair. Bonus points for the Village Barber's clean, bracing scent — a refreshing way to start the day.

Biography Few Words Shave Drops
Biography is a complete collection of skincare oils with, admittedly, more of a focus on women’s skincare. Don’t let that scare you off, though: Its Few Words Shave Drops is serious about men’s skin. We like this product because it’s great as a pre-shave oil, but also an excellent conditioning oil for facial hair; perfect if you keep your face trim, but maintain a mustache, or trimmed beard. Natural ingredients like radish, borage, and pumpkin seed oils help smooth each shave, soften the skin and beard, treat irritation and acne, and fight free radical damage. The woody, spicy, and lemongrass fragrance is also light and not overwhelming.

Murdock London Beard Moisturizer
We expect spit-spot beard care from any British barber, but Murdock London offers a range of products that truly brings the Empire right into your bathroom. Besides the elegant navy blue packaging that gets us every time, the product on the inside is consistently excellent. We’re particularly taken with this Beard Moisturizer that softens up both hair and skin with a powdery, refreshing fragrance that leaves us feeling fresh as a Covent Garden daisy.

That should keep beard-wearers and the beard ambitious busy for now. Keep an eye on The Manual, though, for updates on how to care for your mane. Remember, a beard is the standard that you present to the world each day. Keep it fresh or suffer the consequences of looking like a slob.
