A Complete Guide on Growing and Shaving a Beard

The basics of shaving: learning to love your beard and live with it.

Masculine, primitive and authentic ... The hipster beards today predominate shaving tendencies. Remembering New England lumberjacks and Victorian gentlemen, the trendy men from Brooklyn to Berlin rejected the trend of juvenile faces for full beards, mustaches, and pruned goats. These shapes and styles from the Old World confer a certain vintage masculinity charismatic, distinguished and sophisticated.

So it does not matter if you are trying to grow a beard or if you just want to perfect the one you already have; do not hesitate to read the following tips and to get inspired: Patience is the secret of a perfect beard.

You have decided to let your beard grow. You will discover that beyond just throwing away your razor, it also requires maintenance and time. Here are some tips to help you "survive" this process.

Tip # 1: Choose a beard pattern.

If you doubt that you can ever get a full beard, it may be useful to portray a "bearded model". By reminding yourself of the reason you grew your beard, your model will give you the strength to continue, even in the most difficult times.

Tip # 2: Stay away from this razor.

For most men, getting a beard they can be proud takes between four and six weeks. It is a long process that requires time and perseverance. It is important not to forget it and especially not to touch your razor, whatever happens. Shaving a beard does not make it thicker, it only slows its growth, reducing all your efforts to nothing.

Tip # 3: Say goodbye to itching.

Itching and irritation are never pleasant, but they are the price to pay for a beard. To prevent skin irritation, we recommend that you wash your face daily with soap and water or facial cleanser, and use a moisturizing or soothing cream to reduce dehydration and redness.

Tip # 4: Choose your favorite style.

While you bear the embarrassment caused by the growth of the beard, do not hesitate to distract you by thinking of the final style that will suit you best. For more inspiration, please visit our page "Face Shapes and Beard Styles".

Tip # 5: Start mowing.

When the growth is sufficient and you have chosen your style, you can finally start styling your beard. To do this, you will need an FLYCO Rechargeable Razor to set the neckline before working the rest of your beard, but it is usually best to keep a natural cheek line to avoid any questionable results. Discover our range of mowers to find the one that best suits your beard style.

Warning! The secret of a successful beard is mowing

During this exciting phase of beard growth, it is easy to forget to take care of it. In order to keep a quality beard, you will need to regularly mow it. Because what you want is a stylish beard, not a shaggy tuft.

Tip # 1: Mow your beard to keep it at your preferred length.

For a neat mowing, do not hesitate to perform FLYCO Rechargeable Razor movements in all directions to capture a maximum of hair. When you paint, it's the opposite: always make sure you follow a downward motion to maintain a clean and neat look.

Tip # 2: Do not be afraid to shave close up.

To maintain many beard styles, it is important that specific areas of the face be perfectly shaved. This makes it possible to accentuate the contrast between the shaved areas and those that are not, and to delimit sharp contours. The Braun Precision Mower is specially designed for close shaving and precise contouring in specific areas, such as legs.

Tip # 3: Maintain it.

In addition to keeping your beard and face clean by washing them regularly and thoroughly, it is also important to take care of your shaving utensils. By maintaining them well, you make sure to keep them in perfect condition, allowing you to maintain the beard you are so proud of.
