Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 39 Review

Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 39 Review

Weekly Beard Update

Not much has changed for the beard, the moustache on the other hand is being annoying. It keeps getting in the way when I eat. I’ve been using the Wild Willies Mustache Wax. I really do like it. I keep it in my pocket and use it like chapstick. Just before I eat I apply it to my stache and comb it in. This keeps my mustache in place while I eat. If you have problems with styling your mustache, or it’s always in the way I highly recommend this wax. You can find it on Amazon with by following this link.

Wild Willies Premium Mustache Wax

I’m trying to decide what to do with my beard after my 52 weeks are up. Should I shave it off, clean up the lines and trim it or just shape it, if I shape it do I do round, or pointed.

My current thinking is to clean up the lines on my cheeks and jaw. Trim my mustache, and shape my beard so that it comes to a point.

What do you think would look good?

New Followers & Subscribers

I am saddened to say we do not have any new subscribers to welcome this week. It’s okay, this happens from time to time. I ask that everyone reach out to friends, and family that they believe would like The Dapper Man and spread the word. Because once we hit 100 subscribers I will be doing a give away.

I’ll have more information on the give away once we get closer to our goal of 100 subscribers. Currently we are at 72, so we have some work to do, so get out there and help get us to 100.

Comments & Questions

From Chris G on my 5 Vegas Cigar Review – Chris asked who the young lady with me was. Her name is Rachel and she is a member of my lounge. She kindly agreed to be in my video.

Coming Soon

Some bit things are coming to The Dapper Man.

First, I have everything I need to create my first beard oil, balm, and wax. I have one scent right now, and I will be doing 3 more, and an unscented variant. I will be making my first batch this week, and I’ll give you an update in the next weekly beard review video.

Second, I am going to be filming my Bossman Beard Product review shortly. I’ve been using the products for three weeks, and I’m ready to give my review. So stay tuned.

Last but not least, my used Allen Edmonds are still at Allen Edmonds. If you remember I bought a used pair of shoes off of Ebay and sent them in to be re-crafted. That means they get new soles, new heels, new cork, new welting, new laces, and re-finishing. I’m hoping to get them back in the next week or two so that I can do a before and after comparison, and decide what’s the best way to get a pair of Allen Edmonds for the best price.

Weekly Beard Update

The beard has been well behaved this week. I’ve been co-washing it every couple days to help keep it soft and in control. I’m done testing the Bossman Beard Products and will be finishing up my review of them soon, so stay tuned. I’ve started thinking about what I want to do with my beard after my year is up. So far I’m thinking about shaping my beard, cleaning up the sides, the neck, and cheeks. I’m not sure if I want a rounded beard or a pointed beard. I still have time to figure it out. Please let me know what you think in the comments.

Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 36 Review

Hello All and welcome to Greg’s Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 36 Review.

36 Weeks after my last shave and my beard is going strong. I still have a little gray in the beard, and a little red in the beard and that’s okay. The colors give my beard a unique style that can’t be copied.

My mustache has been an ongoing issue. It is not full enough, or long enough to handlebar the way I would like. But it is long enough to cause problems when eating. The solution? Mustache Mud or Wax. A good mustache mud or wax will help keep the stache out of the way while you eat.

I’ve been using Bossman beard products for about a week, but today I had to use my Honest Amish as my Bossman products I’m testing are packed for work trip.

Welcome new joiners, subscribers, and followers:
I wanted to say welcome to all the new people following me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and so on, as well as my new Youtube subscribers.

Coming Soon:
I am in the process of testing the Bossman beard products. I will finish my testing and do a review video in the next couple weeks.

I am also working on an Allen Edmonds refurbishment project. I bought a pair of AEs off of Ebay and sent them in for refinishing. Once I get them back I will show the before and after and give my recommendations for buying Allen Edmonds.

I have had a request for more cigar reviews. I will be filming a review of the 5 Vegas (Cinco Vegas) Classic Robusto. This video should be posted in a few weeks.

Mail Call! XikeZAN Beard Care & Grooming Kit

It’s time for another Mail Call. This time I’m opening the XikeZAN Beard Care & Grooming Kit.

 

 

Why I chose it

This looks like a good starter kit for those who are just starting out their bearded journey, or for people looking for a gift for the bearded ones in their life.

What comes with it

This kit comes with beard oil to hydrate your skin and beard, beard balm to help lock in the moisture in your beard, a beard comb and brush for styling, scissors for trimming fly away hairs, and a bag to keep everything together.

XikeZAN Beard Care & Grooming Kit.
XikeZAN Beard Care & Grooming Kit.

First Impressions

The packaging is really nice, the box is matt black with the XikeZAN Logo. When you slide the box open the items are presented very well, everything is neat and orderly.

The beard oil and balm are nearly clear. This is great for people with lighter colored beards that don’t want to have their beards colored by products. The oil has no scent and the balm has the slightest scent of honey dew.

The comb while small has widely spaced teeth so you don’t tug on your beard, and the brush bristles are stiff but not to stiff to hurt.

The scissors seem to be sturdy, they are well weighted in the hand.

The bag is burlap sack, it is okay for keeping your kit together but I would think you would just use your dopp kit.

Final Thoughts

A full review is coming soon. Once it is posted I will have a link below for it. But for twenty dollars this is a good starter kit or gift for a bearded guy in your life. You can use the link below to purchase the kit from Amazon.

Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 35 Review

Hello All and welcome to Greg’s Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 35 Review.

Week 35 Review
The beard is looking good after 35 weeks. That’s right it has been 35 weeks since my last shave and this 100% all natural beard is growing and flowing. It has filled out well, and the sides are a bit more manageable now that they are longer.

What will happen after my year is up? At this point I’m thinking I will trim the beard a bit to bring the sides in and shape it a bit to come to a point. I may change my mind between ow and the end of August so who knows what I’ll end up with.

Week 35

Coming Soon
I have filmed and will be posting a review of the XikeZAN Beard Kit I bought on Amazon a few weeks ago and I’ve started using some Bossman Beard products and will be making a video about them in the near future.

New Members
I want to thank the new joiners, followers, subscribers to The Dapper Man. Hello Matt, Cat, Steve, Shawn, and GutsanGlory. Thank you for following The Dapper Man, we hope you enjoy these videos. Please feel free to reach out to us if you want us to test or review something.

Questions and Comments: 
Chris – What do I do that requires me to travel? I am an IT Consultant my company sends me all over the US from Seattle to New York, to Atlanta, to LA and everywhere in between. We specialize in Microsoft products, and currently I’m traveling to Hartford, Connecticut.

I’m a Sasquatch – Does the Honest Amish beard and body slick help grow your beard? It helps in the way that having healthy hydrated skin helps grow your beard. It helps in the way that having good strong hair helps grow your beard. But no there is no growth ingredients in the Honest Amish beard products.

Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 6 Review

Year Long Beard (Yeard) Week 6 Review

Weekly Beard Update

Hello All and welcome to Greg’s Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 6 Review. This week we hear from Mrs. Dapper Man and about how she thinks my beard is, and what colors are in my beard.

So what does Mrs. Dapper Man say about my beard, she says it is sheepy. She says my beard was starting to curl like a sheep’s.

Also still seeing red in my beard, not a lot but some. Especially in the sunlight. but the red in my beard is slowing being drowned out by darker colors. My mustache is starting to slowly thicken up, my cheeks are filling in nicely and my chin is thick with spots of gray.

For daily updates on my Year Long Beard Journey you can follow The Dapper Man on Facebook. I post pictures every evening of my Year Long Beard.

Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 3 Review

My Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 3 Review is here. This week has been pretty uneventful beard wise. Now that my beard is coming in I’ve noticed a lot of red. I’ve continued using the beard oil, and balm to keep my beard soft, and to prevent itching.

You can see photos of my Year Long Beard journey on The Dapper Man Facebook page.

I have purchased a Clubman Pinaud 3-1 Beard kit. It includes a beard oil, a beard balm, and a beard conditioner. I will be testing these products for a few weeks and will create a video where I review them.

You can see my review of the Clubman Pinaud 3-1 Beard Kit here.

Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 1 Review

Below is my Year Long Beard (Yeard) – Week 1 Review.

That’s right it has been one full week since my last shave, how do I feel about the first week of my year long beard?

Well as I’ve been clean shaven for most of my life I wanted to shave. I really wanted to bring up the neckline to just above the adam’s apple. This is typically the spot you want your bear to end. I reached out to George Bruno AKA The Sultan of Silver and he said one of his biggest beard regrets is trimming the beard in the very beginning. He recommends not touching the beard for at least 6-12 weeks to allow the beard to grow and fill in fully before styling the beard.

Overall the beard is coming in nicely, very evenly, very little itch. Most of the itching I’m getting is from where my collar is hitting the stubble. To get rid of the itch I use a combination of beard oil, and beard balm. You don’t need a lot of beard oil or balm at this stage of the beard, but they do help.

You can see our articles on Beard OIl, and Beard Balm on our Beard Care page for more information on beard oil, beard balm, and beard wax.

You can see week 2 of my year long beard here.
