Couldn’t imagine not doing this. Listen to this man people!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks Nick’

[@SexyBeardedGuy]

Same. This as well as the recent reminder to finish with a cold rinse.

[@W3TotalCarpentry]

My beard drift stopped as soon as I started doing this in the shower. When I started watching your videos about four months back. Thanks Dan

[@DanCBearded]

Love to hear that!!

[@owenthomas3678]

Dan they should call you the 'Ideas Man' you come out with all new ideas for your beard all the time. Well Done Mate. - Keep them coming.

[@DanCBearded]

I appreciate that!

[@dave5543]

Okay, Wow. This is something that I've been doing simply for detangling purposes. Didn't realize that it had an extra added benefit! Thanks so much for your videos. I don't get to watch them all. But it seems like when I do, it's one that really hits home! I've learned so much from these!

[@DanCBearded]

I’m glad this hit home!

[@b-koz]

After a year and a half of viewing and learning from so much of your content, you're still dropping new knowledge on me my man! I bought another Chicago Comb to use in the shower on conditioning days but never thought about using it to gently exfoliate during a daily wash. Gonna try it right now, thanks dude!

[@DanCBearded]

I appreciate it B!

[@Tommyc463]

I was confident I’ve been doing this correctly. Here I’ve been doing beard wash, silicone scrubber, then raking the skin with my Chicago comb. Can’t wait to see if this makes a difference long term now that I’ll be doing the raking first! Side note, I see so many other beard communities telling men with beardruff to throw chemicals and head and shoulders in their beards. It drives me crazy! Granted some guys have unique skin conditions that may require some type of intervention, but generally exfoliating and having a good beard wash/oil routine is all it takes!

[@DanCBearded]

I hate seeing people resort to chemicals to treat symptoms with chemicals

[@geauxtigers_8458]

Great advice, Dan. Love that #8 chicago comb!

[@DanCBearded]

The best!

[@tollboothwillie0]

You are correct. I was not doing this but will start now!

[@DanCBearded]

Game changer!

[@handullradaai]

2:21 rake your skin BEFORE you wash. been waiting for this video for the past 6 months. will make it part of my routine now. thank you Sir.

[@DanCBearded]

You’re welcome!

[@stephenbayley1441]

The rim of my metal beard-butter tin made some rusty beard butter. This got me thinking about rust and hair and beards. Naturally, this got me thinking about Dan C. I don't know whether you covered it or whether you care to. If anyone has or will...

[@DanCBearded]

I have not, but will write it down! Thanks man

[@TheBeardedPorkchop]

I've been MIA due to death in the family, but had to get my fix of the professor Dan. Great info

[@DanCBearded]

I’m sorry for you your loss my friend 🤝

[@dead-lockedking]

All guys that haven't set this to standard care, it is truly great thing to do for you, your beard. Plus it cleans your combs n brushes.

[@DanCBearded]

Boom, exactly!

[@kennethyoung4892]

I will add this to my beard care routine

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@beardedandwinning1390]

Great topic, this is a tip every bearded fella needs to know! I personally keep a Chicago Comb pick in the shower.. I like to put beard wash in and use the pick to exfoliate my face as well as rake out the beard.. Great stuff!

[@DanCBearded]

Same same same!

[@r55mannyp]

I agree. I think it was an older video you mentioned this and I been doing this ever since.

[@DanCBearded]

Absolutely! Have touched on it a few times

[@The_real_CO]

You’re not Dan, you’re Mr Motivator. Great tip. I first learned this several years ago from the ‘Sultan of Silver’, Mr George Bruno, before I discovered your YT channel. 😘

[@DanCBearded]

That’s great to hear!

[@matthewparisano4316]

The Chicago combs are the best. I’m gonna start incorporating this. Thanks again Dan!

[@DanCBearded]

Truly the best!

[@SantaTomSmith]

I've been following your advice on this for a while. Game changer. Appreciate you Dan.

[@DanCBearded]

Love it 🤝

[@73alfayellow]

Up to now I have been lathering up my beard and then using the comb. I will give this a try and see which works best for me.

[@DanCBearded]

That works too!

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

Great advice Dan! I learned this from you a few years ago and it makes a huge difference.

[@DanCBearded]

I’m glad it’s working!

[@widows_son_g]

Ordered Dr Nick's on your recommendation. Came quick and love it. Ordered beard octane and tabletop to support you. Been over a month and beard octane customer service is absolute shit. I'll let you know how it is once received.. still haven't gotten tabletop yet....

[@DanCBearded]

Oh I’m sorry to hear about the octane service. That’s not something I ever hear about with them. I hope it gets resolved!

[@JonnyPsyclo]

I've been doing this for about 18 months since I saw a video of yours ages ago recommending it! It's so good! Wouldn't do it any other way!

[@DanCBearded]

Same! Couldn’t imagine stopping

[@JonnyPsyclo]

@@DanCBearded 💯

[@jakeboss1915]

100% agree with this. With the added benefit of cleaning the comb. Thanks Dan!

[@DanCBearded]

Exactly!!! Self cleaning system

[@alibeast3647]

Great video sir and I completely agree. I use a nu brush in the shower because my beard is super curly and wiry and grows in so many different directions. But yes. I use it before a wash with just water and I use it with wash as well. Gently that is

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@ruggiero1206]

This is great advice as always appreciate it Dan thank you

[@DanCBearded]

My pleasure!

[@unicyclerider]

I've been doing this for a while now, ever since I heard Dan mention it in a previous video. I can't say that I noticed a difference right away, but like so many other things on this channel I believe if Dan recommends something it can't be a bad thing. And if nothing else, it's at least worth trying, right?! He hasn't let me down yet 👍🏻

[@DanCBearded]

I appreciate the feedback and positive perspective 🤝

[@marcusappelqvist9363]

Learning new things every video. Keep it up!

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you! I love this stuff

[@the_bearded_coastie]

I have a #8 that lives in my shower. All part of the "Everytime I Shower" routine.

[@DanCBearded]

Same same!

[@the_bearded_coastie]

All starter kits should consist of a minimum of 4, #8 Chicago Combs. #1 & #7 too...

[@claycompton1194]

Great video and tip,definitely will make this part of my daily routine, thanks again.

[@DanCBearded]

You're so welcome!

[@Bada_Boom78]

I thumbs up Dan’s vids as soon as they start.

[@DanCBearded]

Thank you brotha!

[@Thisguywholikeswine]

I 100% agree with you that it makes all the difference in the world! Exfoliation with the comb works great. I use a silicone exfoliating scrubber and a comb in the shower. I believe you mentioned this in a previous video, but I’m glad you have a dedicated video on the subject now. 👊🤘

[@DanCBearded]

Straight up!

[@lucatesolin8831]

I cant wait to try this and see the results in a month! Thx Dan!

[@DanCBearded]

Absolutely!

[@im4scots86]

That's a great tip Dan. I will start this immediately. Thanks.

[@DanCBearded]

Glad to hear it!

[@spartanmarriottbeardreview9656]

Great video Dan I will start doing this , I love my Chicago combs aswell fantastic combs , I’ve actually started doing the cold rinse in the shower after I seen your other video and I’m feeling fantastic for it , appreciate the info Dan

[@DanCBearded]

Love to hear that my man!

[@OGFitzRoy]

I use my Chicago (pet) comb & scalp scrubber 2 exfoliate my beard. All thanks 2 the "Trusted Teacher". It also helps detangle my beard, making it easier when applying products

[@DanCBearded]

Love to hear all of that! Shoutout to the crazy pet comb deal, for those that were around then

[@JoseRodriguez-gn3xl]

Hi Dan, good information, I do it every day when I shower, I learned it from you, good video. Have a wonderful day

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks, you too!

[@oifbrewer]

Great tips! I need to do this more often.

[@DanCBearded]

I am addicted to it lol

[@jbgetsyawrecked]

I've been relying on the fingers and do work the skin well, but I can't ignore this advice. I'll be starting this up asap.

[@TopHatBeardCo]

As always, seems so small but is SOOOO relevant! Thanks for always thinking about what the masses don’t 🤝

[@DanCBearded]

Really makes a difference!

[@derekherman7455]

Hey dan great video as always. Beard looks great too. Is there a particular beard scrubber you would recommend?? Just kind of starting my longer beard journey

[@DanCBearded]

I use and enjoy the beard scrubber from Toolitries

[@derekherman7455]

@DanCBearded funny I was just looking at that lol because I visited their site before and liked their products. Will definitely give this a try

[@jtsteve]

Great vid!!! I used to do this after putting shampoo in and not necessarily comb but just get into skin. I’ve slacked off on this. Still comb conditioner but need to bring this back🍻🍻🍻

[@DanCBearded]

Perfect reminder!

[@Ottobon]

My nama DAN yeah if i didn't exfoliate i wouldn't have a chance with a beard

[@DanCBearded]

Same!!! It’s sooo important for me, literally daily. Hurts my brain to think about not doing it

[@whiskersnwhisky4728]

Thanks Dan! I used to (up to yesterday tbh) run the comb through right out of the shower while still wet, but post-wash. Doesn't make any sense to introduce dead skin flakes into a squeaky clean beard if I stop and think about it. We're prepping for a large cookout tomorrow. If I don't make it tonight I wish you and the fam a safe and happy 4th!

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks brotha, have a great holiday yourself!

[@bigstew2000]

Great video! I have Chicago combs in the shower, bedroom, car, etc. Always be ready lol

[@DanCBearded]

Haha literally the same here

[@j.m.4858]

Great tip

[@DanCBearded]

Glad you think so!

[@michaelhromi9884]

Just did this about an hour ago! Only with a #8! Every single time I wash!

[@DanCBearded]

Perfect!

[@keithbrady662]

Wicked! I'm going to do it now 😊

[@DanCBearded]

Go for it!

[@kevinverwey6351]

I assume this will help with ingrown hairs and pimples too?? Definitely trying this from now on

[@DanCBearded]

Yes, absolutely!

[@gold-blooded]

2 weeks in, I’ve been using a boar hair brush to exfoliate my skin but now it hurts when I touch the hair. Maybe I’ll try the comb instead.

[@DanCBearded]

Comb for sure and don’t go too aggressively

[@waynegarside80]

My Chicago comb No 8 is my best friend.

[@DanCBearded]

Such an important tool!

[@crazydaddy5150]

I remember in one of your earlier videos that you had said that combining in shower was a must. Been doing ever since. Great Video keep up the good work. Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@DanCBearded]

Thanks man!

[@TheHairyDurdles]

I do this with a shampoo circular shower rubber comb, my fingers, and a metal pick.

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@andrewhill4986]

A metal pick?

[@TheHairyDurdles]

@@andrewhill4986 yessir search “Metal hair pick curly hair” you’ll see them all over the place 👊🏼

[@BeardedDarin]

Do you do this on rinse days? How many rakes with the comb each time? Thanks Dan!

[@DanCBearded]

I do not do rinse days and do not recommend anyone else does. I used to in the beginning but have had a few videos over the last few years going over washing daily

[@bostonstrongpatriots8881]

By raking before you wash you mean already soaking wet beard before you work the beardwash in?

[@DanCBearded]

Correct!

[@gusthomas]

Thanks Dan. Never heard this before. My Kent comb will now reside in the shower!

[@DanCBearded]

Glad I could help!!

[@mikehoppis324]

Ok Dan I exfoliate nearly daily. Sometimes with the #8 Chicago comb and sometimes with the toolitries exfoliater I will now exfoliate EVERY day with the #8. So if I correct I’m just using the toolitries to work in the shampoo?

[@DanCBearded]

Correct!

[@vpovince1001]

My question is why wait so long to let us guys know about this?! Ha! I do it this once a week, but will move to every time I wash my beard.

[@DanCBearded]

Haha I have covered it a few times but needed a full force dedicated video lol I’m excited for you introducing daily 🤝

[@vpovince1001]

@@DanCBearded do not wash daily but will do this 4 or so times a week and I am sure it will be beneficial!

[@ferfykins]

Ty for the advice, i'm a little confused though, are we combing the beard hairs or the skin? or both? i think both?

[@DanCBearded]

It’s one in the same. Your hair starts at the follicle, which is in the skin where you are combing

[@ferfykins]

@@DanCBearded but am i supposed to put the comb against the skin? or just comb thru the beard? sorry

[@YoGoldenFleeceDigsExceptional]

Seborrheic dermatitis, which I have, "dan-drift" - is a true life struggle. ✅👍

[@DanCBearded]

For sure, that can compound the problem

[@chrismarch45]

You know I was doing that for a while and relieved that most of the hair I find in the drain is from doing it when I had stop using the comb I had less hair in the drain. But at the same time I also noticed exactly what you mentioned my beard had stalled it growth. Any idea as to why I had so much more hair in the drain

[@DanCBearded]

Either going too aggressively or you were just naturally shedding more at that time, rather than spread out throughout the day and not noticing as much. Likely were both shedding more

[@thelurker9472]

I'll have to start. But man I take better care of my beard than my head hair

[@DanCBearded]

Same here!

[@buffalotodd5068]

I used to do that, but now that it's down to an 18 guard it seems pointless

[@DanCBearded]

Oh man, equally as important. Skin is skin, doesn’t matter how long the hair is. For health of the skin and hair, not hair growth rate

[@beardedchef5756]

Could you tell me what's the difference between what you just said and doing it after the shower?

[@DanCBearded]

When you exfoliate you are breaking up stuff from the surface of the skin. If you do it in the shower before or while washing, you get rid of those things. If you only do it after the shower, all the stuff is still in the beard

[@jimcummings4712]

Already doing this.😊😊😊😊

[@DanCBearded]

Awesome!

[@H4ZH4_3L]

Chicago comb in the shower (pre-wash) and boar bristle outside of the shower/end of the day?

[@DanCBearded]

If you have a short beard, yes. If you have medium to long beard, then comb out of the shower too

[@H4ZH4_3L]

@@DanCBearded Understood. Thank you. :)

[@jasonshuller1541]

Yesss, please do!

[@DeliberatelyBearded]

I have another number 8 Chicago comb in the shower that stays in the shower

[@DanCBearded]

That’s the best!

[@BobKoehler]

Would a boar bristle work for a short beard, a comb seems to do nothing to my short beard

[@DanCBearded]

No, this is for the shower and you do not use a boar’s brush in the shower. This is addressing the skin, so the length of beard literally does not matter

[@MrPenabuenotony]

Dan, do I want my beard wet when I comb? Obviously before the wash gets on.

[@DanCBearded]

Yes 🤝

[@bostonstrongpatriots8881]

This works with a beard brush as well right?

[@DanCBearded]

Not as well, no. The firm exfoliating in the shower can only really be achieved with a comb

[@bostonstrongpatriots8881]

Thanks man. Would you still use the brush once daily in every angle on a 3+month beard? Strong 3 months 😁 or just comb?

[@DanCBearded]

Truly!

[@cubiczirconiabeard5366]

why would my face notice a difference between a shower shampoo brush and a comb? i don't get it?

[@DanCBearded]

The surface tension from the firmness of the comb and the shape of the ends of the teeth/tines. Hopefully that helps!

[@cubiczirconiabeard5366]

@@DanCBearded NO WAY ! a high school history teacher and swimming coach said "surface tension".......then again I graduated from a Louisiana High School.
