A real man is always a supporter of keeping his beard clean and tidy. Many people do the opposite, growing a beard, and then forget or are lazy to keep it in proper shape.
It's like wearing it but never cleaning it. As a result, the suit looks very sloppy. A clean, trimmed and shaped beard can make you look, as the Yankees say, “a million dollars.” A well-groomed beard can attract the eye and distract attention from some other flaws in appearance. So here are some tips from Last Men on beard care.
The first thing you should do is buy a beard trimmer.
If you are the proud owner of a beard, then a beard trimmer is the minimum thing that should be in your arsenal. Unless you want people to think you're a lazy slacker with a skinny beard, of course. In fact, the choice of trimmers on the market is not that large. The choice of trimmers for mowing the lawn, alas, turned out to be much more extensive. So, it’s worth paying attention to three flagships on the market. These are Philips, Braun and Panasonic.
Philips QT4015 mustache and beard trimmer.
It has a built-in battery rather than a replaceable one, fits comfortably in the hand and is quiet. Adjustment from 0.5mm 
Beard and mustache trimmer Braun 7 BT7050. Equipped with a docking (charging) station and powered by a built-in battery. Cuts from 1 to 20 mm. 
Trimmer PANASONIC ER-GY10CM520 Includes a nose trimmer (powered by AA batteries) and four attachments. Cuts from 3 to 15 mm.
Find the right beard style
Finding your beard style is sometimes not so easy, but it is extremely important. Try not to be a copycat. This is one of the most common mistakes made by young people who have just started growing a beard, trying to imitate someone else, rather than looking for their own beard style. Believe me, your own style, matched to your facial features, can be much more advantageous than copying someone else's beard style. An idol's beard can only be a short role and may not be particularly comfortable for you, both physically and mentally.
Certain face shapes have their own, more suitable beard style. Blondes prefer wide and thick shapes than brunettes. A triangular face can be corrected with a rounded, wide beard. A round face can be enhanced with a trapezoidal or angular beard. A rounded beard - a horseshoe - will suit a long face.
A beard comb is your most important weapon. To choose your style, use our recommendation. Look on the Internet for photos of men with beards and select those in which the men have a similar face and head shape as you. Grow your beard to the desired length and then start trimming it. To trim your beard, get yourself a wide, fine-toothed comb in advance. It may come in a set with a trimmer, but I haven't had such luck. To trim your beard, buy hairdressing scissors. It is better to carry out all procedures in the bathroom with a large mirror, and not on the sofa, with a small mirror on the coffee table, watching sports news on TV with one eye.
Look what a beard looks like. Then shave your cheeks and neck. Continue to remove little by little, creating a defined look for your beard. Experiment with goatees and long sideburns, goatees and short sideburns.
No matter how many tips you hear, no matter how many fashion magazines and websites dedicated to beard styles you look at, a couple of experiments in front of the mirror will give you the best results. In any case, remember that your beard should complement the shape of your head and face.
Correct beard length
The length of the beard is a fairly important aspect that should be discussed separately. The beard should be sized up for growth. Short men would benefit from a small beard. Conversely, a large, full beard is suitable for large men.
Don't trim your beard immediately after washing. Wet hair is longer, and you can wave wildly. In general, my advice: if you have grown a beard for the first time and are trying to find your own style, then you should find like-minded people. This can be done in a barbershop (men's hairdresser). For the most part, beard specialists work there. Believe me, it is impossible to meet a tattooist without a tattoo and a barbershop without a beard.
Look after your beard
Proper beard care can only take a few minutes a day. Don't forget about this. Depending on the beard style you choose, the time required for this procedure may vary.
If you don't take care of your beard, you shouldn't be doing yourself a disservice. You grew your beard, chose your style, decided on the length. Now try every morning for a couple of weeks to maintain the shape of your beard. I sincerely hope this doesn't bore you. Believe me, maintaining some beard styles sometimes takes more time than just shaving with a razor every morning.
- and manufacturers of shaving accessories blame this on the fashion for beards, which still does not want to retreat. The popularity of beards has not been seen since the end of the First World War.
From the mid-10s to the 60s, the vast majority of men in the United States and Europe never thought of growing any kind of facial hair.
In the 60s, hippies appeared - and a beard became a sign of nonconformism (and in the USSR too).
In banks and large financial corporations, the presence of a beard was still not welcomed - a “white collar” worker certainly had to be clean-shaven. And then 2013 came, and at the Oscars in March it turned out that many Hollywood stars have long neglected razors and aftershave lotion: the fact that beards have become fashionable is not to blame for hipsters, but for George Clooney, Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman.
Bradley Cooper
That year passed under the sign of a beard - and not some frivolous goatee, but a real thick beard, like a lumberjack. Those who just recently carefully shaved their cheeks - lawyers, bank employees, financial advisers, actors and even football players - now began to care for their beards just as carefully.
In 2014, when global razor manufacturers began to notice a drop in sales, cautious proposals began to appear for hipsters to shave off their beards, because there were already too many of them, and monotony deprived men of attractiveness.
It's authoritative proved specialists from the University of New South Wales from Sydney: they conducted an experiment during which they showed men and women groups of photographs that depicted people of varying degrees of “unshavenness”: from clean-shaven to thickly overgrown.
It turned out that both men with beards up to their eyes and clean-shaven men seem attractive only if they are rare.
The scientists attributed this to a phenomenon in evolutionary theory called “negative frequency-dependent selection”: they suggested that beards start to become fashionable when the fewest number of men wear them, and after the trend reaches its peak (which they expected last year) , it should have faded away.
Jake Gyllenhaal
But it didn’t go away: it’s 2015, but the beards remain. Bearded people still walk on catwalks, advertise clothes, ride bicycles, wear sneakers and pink shorts, and buy beard care products.
They go to barbershops and barbershops and feel great, while Gilette and Schik are waiting for the hot summer in the hope that bearded men will come to their senses and shave. And let the online publication Mashable, the mouthpiece of hipsters, kill beard fashion. Since lawyers and financiers stopped shaving, beards are not considered a hallmark of hipsters. No matter what the trendsetters say, handsome bearded men will ride bicycles in their impeccable suits through the streets of Milan and other big and fashionable cities. And why dissuade them when they are so good?

A beard, mustache and sideburns are a great way to show your individuality and create your own unique style.
Did you know that the number of ways to decorate yourself reaches several dozen?
Suvorov's beard (French: A La Souvarov) - starts from the temples and goes down, bordering the cheekbones, to the corners of the mouth, and then bends up again, smoothly turning into a mustache. The chin remains clean.
Policeman (Copstash Standard) - a beautiful mustache bordering the upper lip within the corners of the mouth, with the base under the nose. They are preferred by police and military personnel, i.e. those who, according to the regulations, are not supposed to wear a normal beard, but really want to.
Dali - thin mustache, soaring upward, like the great artist Salvador Dali.
Ducktail is a full beard that is trimmed from top to bottom, resembling a duck's tail.
This beard is reminiscent of a popular hairstyle in the 60s (back view).
Bug (El Insecto) - two funny appendages under the chin, reminiscent of an insect's jaw (mandible). Can be added with a mustache.
English Mustache - a wide mustache that opens the middle of the upper lip. With long, upward-pointing ends that should not be twisted.

French Fork - a full beard with a mustache extending from the sideburn line and covering the cheeks. The peculiarity is that its lower part is shaped like a French fork.

Named after the fictional character in the novel by Irish writer Sax Roxmer of the first half of the 20th century - Dr. Fu Manchu.

Balbo - a wide but not full beard covering the chin and part of the cheekbones, with a defined base under the lower lip. The look is completed with a medium-thick mustache.
