Just in case you haven’t noticed, beards are back in a huge way!  And if you just happen to be 50-plus, suffice it to say, adjectives like dapper, sophisticated, and scholarly are just a few of the words you’ll probably hear but only if your beard  is on point. If you’re sporting a beard but have been neglectful in the grooming department, then we are here to help.

Since you’ve decided to grow that ultimate stamp of total masculinity, do understand that it needs tender loving care to look appealing and not scraggly. Only a mere handful of men can grow a beard and not do anything to it. So, unless you’re one of the chosen few, you’ll need some help!
