Have had a 'stache forever, and periodically add the goatee to the mix. Every couple of years have done the beard thing for a few weeks, but never let it get long enough that the regular shampoo and creme rinse wasn't sufficient. Now that it's almost four months into the grand experiment, it's too tough to manage without serious extracurricular help. Beard butter, balm, oil, creme, etc., are all turning out to be very short term solutions.... despite what the "beard guy" sites say.
Doc, no problem w/ the skin underneath, but the beard hair is definitely a beast of its own compared to the head hair. Maybe a change of venue might help? We're getting Island Fever.... this pandemic thing has kept us away from Hawaii for the longest time since we've been married; last trip was Dec '19 to Kauai, right before Covid took hold. The thought of flying is still too daunting, but keep thinking the island mist might keep the beard hydrated, and controllable. Tough call, but in the meantime, there's gotta be something on the Mainland that won't dry out. Valvoline? LiquiMoly? STP? Marvel Mystery Oil?
