Beard Grooming: Modern Trends vs. the 1800s

Oh, beards—forever making a statement, whether you’re in the slick streets of 2024 or the rugged landscapes of the late 1800s. But wow, how times have changed when it comes to taming those whiskers!

Back in the 1800s, a beard wasn’t just facial hair—it was a badge of masculinity, wisdom, and sometimes, social status. Grooming tools were basic at best: straight razors (yikes!), stiff boar-bristle brushes, and good ol’ bar soap for cleaning. Forget about scented beard oils or balms; if anything, a dab of bear grease was considered luxurious. The goal? Big, bushy, and bold. Just look at your grandpa’s photos.

Fast forward to today, and beards are all about precision and personality. Some like a well-shaped stubble,  or a nice fade from your barber, while others want that trendy lumberjack-worthy mane, the options are endless. Today, we have all kinds of grooming products: hydrating beard oils, scented balms, beard straighteners, and clippers with laser guides (seriously, lasers). Oh, and for the brave, we’ve got YouTube tutorials for everything, from shaping to beard growth hacks.

The biggest difference? Today, grooming is mostly about making a statement. Your beard says something about you—be it rugged, refined, or somewhere in between. Back then, it was more about fitting societal norms.

So next time you’re shaping up your beard with artisanal oil that smells like cedar-wood and bourbon, raise a glass to those 1800s pioneers. They set the standards so we could raise them.

Growing A Beard- Best Grooming Tips

Growing A Beard

Here Are Three Simple Grooming Tips I Recommend To Keep That  New Beard Looking Sharpbeard grooming tips

1- Keep it clean– while this seems obvious, if your skin is oily or if you are the outdoorsy type, keeping your beard looking sharp can be a challenge. A good beard soap will always do the trick. Using a  good quality, lightweight texturizer will keep your wild beard under control and neat looking. A great beard sculpting product I recommend is Fellow Barber (not an affiliate), it’s water soluble and easy to rinse off without soap. 2- Use a good quality beard oil–  Beard care begins with a good beard oil for a nice shine, but most importantly to keep it soft and manageable. Gotta keep that stubble beard softer for the love of your life! Did you know that you could develop dandruff on your beard? It’s true. If your skin is naturally dry, beard oil it’s a must to keep it conditioned and to prevent those dreaded beard flakes. I recommend natural, pure essential oils for best results. 3- Keep it nicely trimmed-  I always carry my beard trimming scissors with me since I started growing my beard, so I can keep my beard clean and sharp looking at all times. They always come in handy, especially if when I travel.    

The Art Of Classic Shaving

Classic Shaving Tips For Busy Gentlemen

Remember seeing your grandpa shave so smooth and precise?the art of classic shaving You can learn that method today. The art of classic shaving has lost its unique value with modern era products that make shaving easier, but often can be misguided and unsubstantial. Even the shortest beard needs proper care, while a clear shaven face demands dedication and precision. Here are some of my tips on how to engage in a do- it- yourself classic shaving performance.

Full skin preparation- Preshave

Your skin needs to be adjusted to the temperature, as well as other factors that are in the interest of a good shave. The finest moment for this is right after your shower, when your skin is moisturized and pores are opened. Also, the beard is softer, easy to shave. I highly recommend  products to soften up your skin and make the process easier. A good quality pre-shave oil will create a protective barrier between the skin and the blade for a closer and comfortable shave.

Basic lathering essentials and process

  • A good quality shaving brush
  • Apply lather up cream/foam on wet brush
  • After this, place the shaving cream in the center of the brush.
  • Start the art by brushing it carefully on your face in circular motion

The Shave

Choose a razor that is properly conditioned and balanced on both sides. You don’t want to end up with unequal beard or unshaven areas on your face when you are done, BUT first examine your face to determine the direction of your facial hair growth. Pour some water on the razor and start shaving. The direction of your hair growth is very important, so pay attention while shaving it. The best shaving direction is from top to bottom for a safer shave and proper hair growth. Still, you can shave in the opposite direction for a closer cut IF your beard is extra thick, re-lathering and carefully shaving against the grain.
Note: Shaving against the grain can cause irritation and ingrown hairs- proceed with caution using gentle strokes from the neck to the cheeks area-  or have a barber do it for you
Glide the razor on your face without applying much pressure. Too much pressure will irritate the skin. If necessary, re-lather and take another pass to cover the unshaven area.

After shave moisturizing

Remember to moisturize after every shave. After the shave your pores are still open. Proper care is necessary if you don’t want them filled with bacteria that may cause acne or blemishes afterwards. I recommend a non-alcoholic after shave product. It should be gently padded on the freshly shaven skin. All of the steps are essential for a basic classic shaving experience.
