Day two using Natural Man beard treatment....

Getting used to the smell. Wife is still griping, but that's her way. Claims it smells like black licorice, which she hates. Can't please everyone. Makes my beard less itchy and that's what I care about.

Hmmm...itchy or bitchy...don't know which I would find more irritating.

(No disrespect towards your wife intended. :angel

Use to use mineral oil, was too greasy. So changed to Clubman Pinaud beard oil. No smell, never ate it so can't comment on that. Few drips here and there, and brush it in.

Used real Emu oil once, talk about smellin like a farm animal :Wrong:

In answer to your question--yes.

I didn't actually eat it, I just put too much of it on and I could taste it anyway.

LOL! That took me back to kindergarten...there's always that one kid that eats the paste.

One thing this thread is lacking is a bearded lady:

Umm...I wouldn't.

Paste

I didn't realise I went to kindergarten with you? You caught me ,Mark, "minty fresh" :cxtv:

 

[MarkFL]

Umm...I wouldn't.

Yes, like you, I have a very strict policy regarding facial hair on the members of my harem.

No 'hair'-ums for me either.

Like shaving Daisy's rear and making her walk backwards :Shrug:

I have had a Beard for over 40+ years and it is pure white and I believe you will never be
able to get rid of the Itch or dryness. Especially as you get older. It's
something the good Lord has blessed us men with. My doctor has given me
a cream to rub over the dry areas to stop the itch but really never get RID
of it.....it always comes back. Especially after a good long ride under the Sun or wind. Riding your Bike doesn't help matters. Ever see a Baby Face person that has ridin alot of miles and years on a bike with smooth skin? I haven't.:Coffee: just sayin-----------

The itch is obviously caused by dry skin under the beard. Scratching with the fingers only temporarily relieves the itch. I have found brushing my beard rather vigorously with a hairbrush daily will remove the dry skin on my face resulting in what looks like dandruff laying on my shirt when finished which I just shake off. That is the all the skin flakes that cause the itch and it is a huge itch relief after brushing the beard. Try it with a brush as you've already found out the finger scratching doesn't offer any long term relief. I've been teased some by friends when brushing the beard who think I'm brushing it for looks....they don't know the real reason for carrying the brush in the trunk of my Goldwing.

This works great in cleansing your skin without damaging your beard. I use the soap as mentioned and then massage my beard and face with the shampoo brush. I've used one for several days now and its made a big difference in eliminating itch. I also have been using a Utility Soap which I'll supply a link. The soap is very pleasant in fragrance. You can read about it at the link if anyone wishes to do so. I've only used both for a couple of days, but like the results for such a short time period.

This is why I started this thread. Why did it take us so long to learn this stuff?

 

[Catfish]

I appreciate you starting this thread. It has taught me things about beards I'd never realized if you hadn't and I'm seeing remarkable improvements in texture and comfort learning about beard and skin care . My wife has noticed and highly approves with what I've been doing, so thanks for peaking my interest. :Coffee:

beard oom

I had a beard and it also itched, then I found the best itch reliever there is. Its sold at Walmart and is called a Remington razor.LOL
PS
this is just my sense of humour. I have nothing bad to say about beards

 

[1dn5up]

That's a nice crop you got going Allen All ya got to do is juice it to get rid of that drift :clapping:

 

[hogcowboy]

I guess maybe I'll try some this pampering junk as this is about as long as mine gets. I got better things to do than act like a woman though. Men just shower and shave and go to work. It's the women that spend hundreds of our hard earned money staying pretty so they can pick the next husband up on the way home from our funeral. But I'll give it a try. Riding my bike does not help the thing with the tangles I get in it.

Day three using Natural Man...

Wife's still bitchin' but I ain't itchin'.

 

[consitter]

Just found this...

Supposed to be odorless. May give it a try if the griping doesn't stop...:AGGHH:

 

[MarkFL]

I wasn't itchy until you guys started talking about itchiness...LOL!

 

[consitter]

I wasn't itchy until you guys started talking about itchiness...LOL!

And I'll bet you didn't notice your girlfriend being bitchy either.

 

[MarkFL]

And I'll bet you didn't notice your girlfriend being bitchy either.

LOL! After my ex-wife, she's a treat.

Ahh...the ex-wife. I imagine her with a beard now.

Helps things right along.:laugh:

I've read it several times and can't figure out exactly what it is you are saying here.

Also someone else mentioned using cider vinegar as a rinse.....I would think that would make the beard feel coarse and stiff?

I too have the problem of the beard flying all around while riding and getting in bad shape with the tangles. I 've even considered using a ponytail holder like the gals do while riding but haven't found any in the Harley shops that would work well as my beard is just not long enough to hold it in place....and my wife's scrunchies left visible "creases and dents" in my beard that didn't go away until the next time I shampooed the beard. Has anybody found a solution to this other than letting it whip around in the breeze which stings like heck on the face. I see Kevin uses scrunchies and tucks his into his jacket or shirt, but mine is not that long yet. Any leads appreciated and I have checked Amazon several times to no avail. I actually can't wait and hope it eventually will get long enough to part in the middle and fly up over each shoulder as I ride.

This is just about as current as I can get on mine! Stache is usually a little longer and defined but the wife doesn't like that part of it, so I tone it down every now and then.
