I often wear dark shirts. Should I happen to rub my facial garden the residue on said shirt makes it look like I've been out in the snow.
I've tried beard oil but I don't buy it. It's oily, I do not want that. I don't think it makes much difference to the snow fest either.
Head and shoulders on my facial appendage instead?
What do you fellow face furniture people use?
face and shoulders surely?
But not a problem I have sorry, but I do shampoo my (pathetic) beard
Suffered from that once. I found a razor to be very, very effective.
How are you applying the oil? Apply to a damp beard after showering and work it right into your skin. Also, a proper brush helps keep everything in good nick.
Yeah, applying to damp beard two or three drops massaged into thicket then brushed through.
I may not be getting enough onto the skin underneath. :/
When I grow mine I just use head and shoulders (or supermarket equivalent) and wash it thoroughly, after all it's just hair, except it also has to deal with food/drink and everything else your hair doesn't so cleaning becomes a big issue as it got longer.
Beard oil does help keep the skin moisturised and the beard soft. But as noted above, you have to apply it properly, it's not hair gel you rub into the outer bits and be done with it, properly massage it into the skin.
Scrub more when you wash your face.
My routine needs redoubling.
Exfoliating is not part of it, tempted to take it right back to just longer than stubble.
Anything to avoid shaving everyday.
I dearly want a handle bar tache, I'm very close to success too.

I've been using this stuff most days after a shower, not oily at all.
May try that^ ta.
This bit though 🙂

Almost relevent tip of the day:
The best thing for getting water marks off lenses? The oil that you sweat between your nose and cheek!
Using a cloth and alcohol scratches the lens as you move the salts around without dissolving them.
Got that one from a tech guy at Fujinon.
My skincare programme consists of shampooing my beard every other day (same as my somewhat depleted mapper) with an anti-drandruff two-in-one shampoo/conditioner.
If I wash too frequently my skin dries out and flakes off...
Works in the main for me.
Normal shampoos are too harsh for a beard and make the snowing worse. Give the beard a good scrub with either plain water or beard shampoo which is milder at the start of your bath/shower then put conditioner in it and leave it there for 5 minutes before washing out thoroughly. Your beard will be much more controllable for when you want that handlebar but don’t ezpext to be asking evwrything out of it and rebuilding a handlebar everyday unless you don’t have a job!
time of year isn't it. cold, central heating, cold again. Plays havoc with my skin darling. Exfoliate and moisturise
You need a hard bristle brush like a nail brush. When you shower, scrub the beard with it (not too hard though) and this will remove all the dead skin. Moisturise too. Bye bye bearddruff.
If it’s really bad some beard creams can help. I used to use this stuff [url= https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00PHHNW0Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1516259081&sr=8-7&keywords=beard+cream&dpPl=1&dpID=41qlhcz1XjL&ref=plSrch ]Morgan’s [/url]
Surely the only advice is to shave the beard off.
That’s the worst advice Gary.
I've never had or wanted a beard ..2-3 days stubble at best but what I found interesting was the Op's comment " anything to avoid shaving everyday."
Surely after you have faffed on with your shampooing / conditioner / beard oil massage / vigorous brushing routine ..its quicker just to shave ?

Well most of it happens when I sort out my hair. Takes little extra time.
I fuggin hate shaving
I actually quite enjoy shaving........ But why on earth would you shave if your hobby is cycling, or anything outdoors for that matter?
I shaved completely for the first time in a couple of years after Christmas and f*** me it's cold outside. I've grown used to working outside in all weathers with my lovely warm, water repellant, windchill beating, UV protecting, fashionable facial follicles. Rigging cameras the other day at 3am in the sleet the other week I actually thought my face was going to fall off!
Shaving to avoid beard care is like having to pull your teeth out everyday to avoid brushing them.
What if your hobby is shaving though.....

Then you MTFU and use your DE to keep your sack smooth. Bonus points for using feather blades.
NB. the alum block can be a bit stingy down there so cuts are best avoided
I once tried to do my legs with a DE. The cut on my knee took months to heal (they were probably feather blades too!).
