Does anyone here have a beard? I think there's plenty of guys here we can discuss this subject Do you use any products on it, like conditioner or some oils? Do you wash it with soap or shampoo?
My boyfriend has a beard and he washes and conditions it every time he showers. We had a very cold winter and during the winter months he used a beard oil on it because he felt it was dryer than usual. (Note about the beard oil: if you look closely at most of the ingredients it's really just almond oil so save your money and buy a bottle of almond oil at the health food store.) Now that it's summer he is going to hold off on the oil and just stick with shampoo and conditioner.
I know most men don't like the stubble beard-style but I really like it. Unlike shaving which gives someone a 'womanish' look [apologies if this offends anyone] a long beard doesn't look that great either. So for me, my stubble doesn't need any special oils and stuff.
