It may not be an addiction, but caring for my beard is my pleasure and NOT a chore. Great topic Dan.

[@DanCBearded]

Love to hear that!

The scents from beard oils, the luscious beard shampoo suds, the waxing of mustache .....the conjuring of Darwin, Karl Marx, Captain Jack Sparrow, Nietzsche, Freud, eccentric college professor, great russian chess masters, old Russian Czars, and Santa Claus.

[@YoGoldenFleeceDigsExceptional]

Agreed 👍

[@Ottobon]

Too true, if it wasn't i would of shaved or at least heavily trimmed ages ago. I spend like 5x more time having a beard then if i shaved yet one still feels like a chore and the other a pleasure

[@cubiczirconiabeard5366]

@@Ottobon Shaving consumed more time in my case. With a beard, I can oil it, and go. Shaving every day is so tedious either straight safety razer or electric.

My beard found me. I let it grow and I found others like me who want to care for the hair... and skin. It's like a peaceful morning walk. Its so fulfilling. Ive learned so much from you and your friendly little town. Lol. Keep doing what you love and it will radiate to others. We all are busy buzzing beard bee's 🐝. Lol I appreciate you Sir.

It's such a cool topic! Loved that, and I also get to experience it as well! I know I've said it before, but giving people your personal contacts just so they can vent to a friendly person and know someone is always in their corner, so cool! And it's the reason my wife Sarah and I make time on Monday and Wednesday for your live streams, I'm much too shy to reach out still... but knowing I can is a real breath of fresh air. Thank you, Dan C, and keep up the good work! I know it can't be easy, but the important things aren't.

OMG I’ve never thought of this but it is so absolutely 💯 true‼️ I enjoy my daily routine, every step of it, so much. It’s relaxing, refreshing and exciting to pick out what will be in beard today!

[@michaelhromi9884]

I agree on this 100%! Typically, 5 days a week I wake up and get my beard ready and my overall appearance cleaned up for work. On my days off, I typically get everything done (gym, lawn care, store, wash car, etc.) prior to beard care. I’ll tell ya, I get so anxious about getting the beard taken care of as soon as I’m done with everything. After that, I feel complete.

A task completed to start the day is a beautiful thing!

[@Knickerbocker_Ave]

Oddly enough... this is no different than when we watch workout videos, then you go and do the exercise yourself and see and feel the results. It's the magic and beauty of self-care, which is another way of saying love thyself. After a shower, you feel good and clean. Then when you brush your teeth, comb and style your hair, and then your beard, all of those feel-good tingles hit and you feel empowered and ready. It's kinda of an addiction, kind of work but it's all love. These videos also do that for me and for that Thank you @dancbearded

[@DanCBearded]

Agreed fully!

[@73alfayellow]

That’s really interesting, while I’ve always liked beards, I only started growing mine about six months ago, I’m now 65. I also have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember, with some especially difficult times in the last few years, so that may be why my intuition led me to growing it out now.

[@DanCBearded]

Oh very interesting to think of their is something subconsciously happening there. Love the food for urging us it

[@TheDrivenDad]

Plus getting beard compliments helps too

[@DanCBearded]

Facts!

[@jtsteve]

Man I started growing out beard a couple years ago as a distraction to some of the things going on in my life.. looks like I was on the right track😂😂😂 it truly is!

[@DanCBearded]

Boom, perfect!

[@bertcapps4151]

Love it Dan, not to sound weird I knew there had to be something to this. Sometimes when I brush I get that tingling ahh feeling. Not to be correcting but I am not sure if addiction is the right word. Tye clinical definition of “addiction” is “use in spite of harm.”

[@DanCBearded]

There is absolutely a tingling feeling! Oh and I’m totally happy with the use of addiction there. There are healthy addictions and unhealthy addictions. “Addiction is when you have a strong physical or psychological need or urge to do something or use something.” “the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity.” “a strong inclination to do, use, or indulge in something repeatedly” If we selectively choose definitions to not use a word, then almost all words would be in trouble. Context and intention matters, especially when definitions from sources such as Oxford and Merriam-Webster back it up the contextual use.

Busting myths or just regurgitated false info is one of my favorite things. My info is obtained in many ways, including: personal experience, reading research, large sample size of anecdotal evidence from thousands of subscribers, and just common logic. Idk if one is more than the other
