For a top-notch beard, you need top-notch assistance.
That’s top-notch, not top knot - although some of you do pull them off extremely well.
Over the last few years, beard care products have become increasingly popular alongside the growing popularity of beards themselves.
While this provides a tremendous selection of beard products to choose from depending on your unique tastes, it may make deciding what to purchase a bit daunting.
Men’s beard grooming kits have come a long way, but you still may not get everything your beard needs unless you’re picking out specific products separately.
So, today, we’re going to help you out, by compiling all of our favourite beard grooming products from the UK market. By doing this, we aim to narrow down your shortlists and make your online shopping experience a little bit less overwhelming.
Here are the top 23+ beard grooming products UK:
1. The UK’s Best Beard Brush
The benefits:
As well as making your beard look much tidier, beard brushes do actually provide some additional benefits that you may not be aware of.
The first of these is how brushing your beard regularly will help convince your facial hair to grow in a specific direction. This direction is obviously downwards, which keeps it tidier and in check.
A beard brush is also good for exfoliating your face, clearing dead skin cells and relieving beard itch and dandruff, while simultaneously encouraging blood flow to patchy areas, and stimulating dormant follicles.
What to look for:
When choosing a beard brush, the materials that are used are very important.
A high-quality wooden body means a good grip, comfort and no splinters when you’re conducting your daily beard care routine. We recommend your beard brush is made from pear wood, beech wood or cherrywood.
The bristles are even more important. First-cut boar bristles do the best job of training your beard hairs and exfoliating the skin beneath, giving you all of the possible benefits listed above.
Our top 3 recommendations:
1. The Seven Potions Boar Bristle Beard Brush
Seven Potions are a beard care brand we never hesitate to recommend.
In terms of their beard brush, it’s not the cheapest, but it’s not expensive- and you’re definitely getting bang for your buck.
The Seven Potions Boar Bristle Beard Brush is made from pearwood and features sought-after first-cut boar bristles that tame and soften your facial hair.
2. BFWood Boar Bristle Beard Brush
This small beard brush from grooming brand, BFWood, is a game changer for longer beards. With a small travel case included, making it perfect for taking with you on the go, this brush features soft bristles for a detangling experience that never scratches.
The best part? It’s firm enough to evenly distribute beard balm or moustache wax, so it’s perfect for use as part of your styling routine.
It looks pretty damn cool, too, with the solid black walnut wood design.
3. Stiff Beard Brush by ZilberHaar
Looking for a beard brush that not only detangles and smooth your beard, but styles it, too? You’ll adore this offering by ZilberHaar.
Featuring stiff bristles that are perfect for spreading beard balm and wax, the brush helps to straighten unruly beards, giving your facial hair a more sophisticated look (not that we don’t like you rugged, too).
The brush’s bristles are so strong they penetrate your beard, exfoliating the skin underneath. This leaves your skin smooth and soft, and reduces itching.
2. The UK’s Best Beard Comb
The benefits:
Beard combs are both basic and brilliant.
They are great for polishing and fine-tuning your overall look and achieving your desired beard style, but at the end of the day, they are just a small piece of wood. A beard comb should never be overlooked, but don’t dwell on it for too long, either.
What to look for:
Like with beard brushes, the materials used and the build quality of your beard comb is key.
The ideal beard comb will be double-sided, featuring a broad-tooth side and a fine-tooth side, allowing for progressive detangling.
Beard combs should always be made from wood, too, and never plastics and metals that snag on beard hair and cause a build-up of static that can undo all of your hard work.
Our top 3 recommendations:
1. H&S Anti-Static Wooden Beard Comb
Usually, you’ll find that a beard comb will come alongside a beard brush, so if you’ve yet to purchase a beard brush, you can look for a set that contains both, just like the Mission Beard Beard Brush And Comb Kit.
However, if you’ve already got a beard brush and you’re now looking for a beard comb to add to your beard grooming kit, it’s something just like the H&S Beard Comb that you need to get the job done.
