[@scorpius1672]

Good video. I found the part about dipping your fingers into the oil on your other hand and working it through with the fingers helpful as I wasn't applying oil that way before and was always wondering if it was getting to the skin properly. Tried it with the bottle of oil I got from you there and the results were much better! I'm looking forward to your new butter getting released, will have to try that out also!

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

Delighted you got some value from it! I really like to get right in there to the skin so I found that's the best way for me. Very excited about the beard butter too...just about one week to launch!

[@demandyourhealth4293]

Big help never used either and have dryness issues my wife bought me both last night and gonna be using it hope it works

[@JamesSmith-jn1ij]

Absolutely. You see so many vids where they just splodge the oil on their palms and rub together. I've always done this by getting the fingertips soaked in it

Would it be okay to warm up the beard blam before applying onto the beard with the hair dryer straight out of the tin can for easier removal? Also heat dry again with a hair dryer once applied on the beard to harden quicker?

Barber? He might actually be his close relative. But jokes aside. Great informative video sir!

[@thenightmare92]

My beard is probably a smidge bigger then his, & I sort of do the same thing. after a shower I apply a whole droppers worth, then just mix it with my hands then apply it with both hands instead of dipping my fingers for saving time sake. & before I go to bed, I’ll apply my beard balm so when I wake up, I’ll still have that smooth & soft beard, & it’s a lot easier to brush the beard in the morning with the remaining balm in it so it’s not tugging or pulling on my beard with the brush.

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

Thanks for sharing your experience! 👏🏾👊🏾

[@andrew2272kag]

I always thought both oil and balm was too much, but with extra length the oil just isn't keeping the ends hydrated and it becomes quite stiff/wiry. Good video.

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

[@user-fg1bp7nb6j]

@@westcorkbeardcompany Colin, is there a reason why you don’t offer separate beard wash and beard conditioning products? Also, one of your videos describes washing your beard every day with beard soap. In many other beard grooming videos, they strongly advise AGAINST washing your beard every day. They recommend washing one’s beard only once or twice weekly. Colin, I greatly enjoy watching your videos; and your beard and shaved head are very similar to mine. May I suggest video specifically dedicated to beard washing and conditioning would be welcomed by your bearded audience. Please keep up the good work you are doing! 😉

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

@Ken Kraus I wash my beard with beard soap and use my beard butter once I'm out of the shower to condition and soften it. Ingredients are key to a good beard product, so stay away from any washes with sodium laureate sulfate in them, and parfum and denatured alcohol in oils, balms etc

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

@Ken Kraus And thank you for your encouragement! 👏😁

[@joemonteirosportsshorts3343]

Thank you for this. I been applying beard oil incorrectly and brushing it incorrectly (with a comb).

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

You're very welcome!

[@spirit.molecule]

Actually, Captain Fawcett's recommends a comb for the oil instead of a brush.

[@davidblackbeard]

Wonderful video... why do you think that a lot of people prefere to put balm first, saying it hydrates more than the oil. This happens a lot donw here in Brazil.

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

Thanks for watching! I would only put balm on first if I wanted more hold followed by a shine on my beard with the oil after. That's the good thing about balm first...it holds everything in place better but I disagree that it hydrates the skin and hair more than oil

[@MiLLz830]

I have two brush sides hard and soft. Which side would you recommend for these applications?

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

If your beard is short, use the soft side. If it's medium/long or over an inch, i would use the hard side. The aim is to be able to get to the skin under the beard as much as possible, especially when it's short 👍

[@emmour9288]

Awesome beard my friend. I’m just thinking why not just use the beard balm which is in liquid form. Put some of it on the brush and use it like that.. Wouldn’t it do the same thing without getting your hands full of oil?

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

Thank you! The key to beard oil is to get it onto the skin under your beard. Beard oil is primarily for the skin and then the beard hair. Too many guys make the mistake of only putting it on the beard hair. The brush is great for spreading the oil but not applying it. Hope this helps! 😁🙌

[@Aar0nDown]

I have been reading that it’s best to apply beard oil on a damp beard, how well dose using beard oil on a damp beard vs applying it to a dry beard work? I have been using beard oil well my beard is damp out of the shower or I get my beard wet with a spray bottle until damp them apply beard oil. What is your opinion?

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

I always apply beard oil after I wash my beard. I towel dry it and then apply the beard oil. I never put beard oil on a dry beard as I only apply it on a clean beard. It works well, absorbs nicely, and you feel great with a fresh beard 👌

[@Mmm-rb7yi]

Like my beard is full at the chin area and quite big but on my cheek area it’s a bit, I don’t know what u call it again but it’s not full and looks a bit scrappy

[@Mmm-rb7yi]

Any idea in how I could make the beard on my cheeks grow fuller I’m 19

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

Unfortunately there's no magic formula for beard growth...time and patience are huge. The fact that you're only 19 is great. That means your beard will almost definitely become fuller in your twenties and thirties. That was my experience...my mid/late twenties beard was so much better than my beard at 19. It will come so just keep looking after it well 👊

[@christophermoss3263]

Not sure if this has been asked but can this be done before or after a shower where shampoo/conditioner is used?

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

Hi Christopher! Yes, I would always oil my beard AFTER showering. Then just follow the steps before applying the beard balm 👍

[@captainkangaroo4301]

Two questions. What about beard butter? And do you use ever use a comb?

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

Beard butter and a comb are excellent once your beard is past about six weeks of growth. Check out the new series I did on my channel that shows you exactly what I use from clean shaven to a 100 day beard. Thank you!

[@joshcottee1933]

Hello, I'm new to the beard community and have only got a small growth but I think it's time to use an oil but I have only one issue I have a nut allergy, so my question is is there any oils out there suitable for my health? ,, cheers

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

Hi Josh, thanks for your comment! We use Argan oil and Golden Jojoba oil as the main oils in our beard oil. Argan oil comes from the nut of the Argan tree. It has rarely been reported to cause allergic reactions but it would be best to not use it to be safe and sure

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

I will look into oils that are nut free as it would be a great beard oil to offer 👌🏽

[@hugopais3910]

Does it matter if I don’t have a brush I only have a comb

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

I find a good quality boar bristle brush is great for spreading the oil and balm around your beard. With a comb there is not as much of that and I find a brush really gets right in there. However a comb will do a decent job so I wouldn't worry too much about changing it

[@mustafadar6266]

I'm 17 and don't actually have a beard but a stubble, if I want to grow it should I still use this ??

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

Not until you have a beard! These products condition and nourish a beard...they won't help you grow one. Only time and patience will do that 🤟

[@hajilemehnjie8353]

Can I use it like there times a day or more ?

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

I'd only apply oil after you wash your face or have a shower...I'd put on beard balm to touch up your beard as often as needed 🙌🏾

[@JP-cx7vo]

Wish I looked this info up 2 years ago. 😅

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

[@PepeHmmm]

i have a little smaller beard than you, i want to grow it more than you. I am washing my beard, brushing it ,use oil and conditioner every day but some hairs are not straight and i dont know what to do i cut these hairs? I talk to barber? I think if i cut a little the hairs then it will not grow it how i want it, what do you say?

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

I would leave it grow for a month without cutting it and then go to a beard barber (who you trust and is good with beards) to just trim and shape it just a little. By giving your beard this time to grow you should be able to straighten those hairs when they are a little longer. If not then embrace what you have...we all have little kinks in our beards that we struggle to tame! Thanks for your comment...really appreciate it 👌🏼

[@louierivera330]

Is it normal fr it to get itchyyyy

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

When it's growing out, the itch begins about day 10. However, this is when you start using beard oil. This will get rid of the itch unless you have an underlying skin condition 👍

The only advice I can give you is to maximise what you've been given! If that's mutton chops and a killer moustache then go for it. Also a beard comb will help direct the hair where you want it to go but it may be a losing battle due to genetics etc

Would it be okay to warm up the beard blam before applying onto the beard with the hair dryer straight out of the tin can for easier removal? Also heat dry again with a hair dryer once applied on the beard to harden quicker?

[@westcorkbeardcompany]

If you get it out with the back of your nail and rub it between the palms of your hands then that's all you need. Getting out the hairdryer everytime you want to use your balm isn't ideal. The type of balm you use should melt fairly easily and not be like glue. If it's like glue then there is too much wax in it. Also heating the balm after it's on the beard is not what you want...to set it quicker it needs to cool. Once cooled give it another quick brush and you're done 👍
