Ahoy, Mateys! Once in a while, us pirates need to shape our beards. Ye know, if we go maraudin’ or if it’s a holiday or if we’re breaking bread with a pretty lassie it’s good to groom. The problem with groomin’ that magnificent facial hair of ours is that sometimes those little red pustules appear…
Ahoy, Mateys! Our beards are our best assets. They make us look good and give us that masculine, pirate-y charm we crave. (Also, the lassies love stroking those beards.) Of course we are always looking for ways to support beard growth. So let’s talk about how our hormones can support us in our quest for…
Ahoy, Mateys! Let’s talk about those little flakes — and no, I’m not talkin’ about cornflakes — but about those tiny white specks that sometimes show up in yer beard (other than the occasional food particles). Yes, mateys, beard dandruff. It exists. For those of ye lads lucky enough to think dandruff only happens on…
Ahoy, Mateys! Let’s take a step back from our beard grooming needs this week and talk about Labor Day! Needless to say, even during the holiday, the Cap’n is here to take care of all of yer beard’s needs. In fact, there will be a Labor Day Sale from 9/1 through 9/5. Enjoy! Now, let’s…
Ahoy, Mateys! Let’s tackle a more serious subject this week: the effect beard dyes can have on your body. Many of you already know why I created Blackbeard for Men – because my formerly roguishly handsome mug turned gray and made me look old. So I did what many of you have tried as well:…
Ahoy, Mateys! The Cap’n’s been goin’ on and on about how to shape yer beard and make it all it can be. But we’ve been gettin’ lots of questions from first-timers lately… or, as the Cap’n likes to call ‘em, beard virgins. Pirates who have never taken the beard journey and are afraid of rough…
Ahoy, Mateys! Now, mateys, ye might think that you are only making a personal statement when growing a beard. But, as it turns out, you’re also a product of your time. Researchers have identified four distinct beard periods in world history: Shaving didn’t actually become the norm until Alexander, the Great (356 BC – 323…
Ahoy Mateys! Last week we talked about takin’ care of yer eyebrows. This week we wanna talk about yer sideburns. And, yeah, we’re using the “royal we” here, since the Cap’n not only talks about himself in the third person but is also multi-faceted. So, let’s talk about yer sideburns. Here is the most important…
Ahoy, Mateys! It be that time of year again. Ye know what I’m referring to. The season dreaded by every bearded pirate on the seven seas: summer. To not coin a phrase: it’s hard for a beard out there in the summer. Ye gotta deal with the heat, the sweaty beard, and the dried out…
Ahoy, Mateys! Let’s talk about thick beards. You know, the type a Viking would be proud of. Often the crew asks me how to get a thick beard. Well, mateys, this is what ye got to do: First of all, remember that individual beard hairs grow at a different rate. Some faster than others. So…
