Beard Q&A - the most asked questions

Whether it's a three-day beard or a long beard, what man hasn't been tempted to grow a beard? A healthy and well-maintained beard requires a shaving ritual: a set of gestures that must be repeated regularly to obtain satisfactory effects. Patience and diligence are essential for a beautiful beard.

Good beard care also means choosing the right products, accessories and treatments. In this article, we share with you all our tips and a selection of products to maintain your beard.

How to prepare your beard for shaving?

Before shaving your beard, it is important to clean and moisturise your skin carefully. An energizing scrub will help eliminate dead cells and activate the renewal of the epidermis. This gesture will also avoid the feelings of tightness or itching often experienced on the face. An important tip: shave immediately after a shower or even in the shower. The contact with water softens the hair, making it easier to shave. 

What products are essential to maintain your beard?

The shaving brush

It is important to use and choose the right shaving brush. Indeed, the shaving brush has 2 essential uses:

Shaving soap

For an efficient and skin-friendly shave, choose a shaving soap, preferably in a Plisson bowl. The latter helps to produce a nice shaving foam for a pleasant shave. Make the soap foam up in the bowl and then lather the shaving foam evenly on the zone you want to shave. After shaving you can simply wash your face with water and dry it. You can then apply a moisturizing aftershave care to soothe your skin. 

Beard oil

After shaving, we recommend applying beard oil. This beard care product for men has several advantages: 

  • it deeply nourishes the beard hair
  • it moisturizes the skin under the beard
  • it gives off a pleasant scent all day long
  • it allows for healthy beard growth
