How does this work for people with really wirey beards?

My beard it's too wirey, but the beard balm does make my beard have a softer feel to it. In addition to using this on my beard, I also use it as a hair product, it keeps my hair looking nice, without feeling waxy or crunchy like other products!

I don't know if my beard would be considered very wirey, but I did not find this product very good at taming a somewhat wild beard. I was hoping it would control hairs that want to stick straight out from my face, and it was not very good at that task. It does, however, do a good job conditioning your skin under your beard after you work it in.

If your beard is considerably wirey, you may just need continued applications. This is a conditioner, not a styler, so routine maintenance is in your immediate future to avoid prolonged wirey beard hairs. They will soften in a few days. If your beard is longer, it may be easier to control the hairs. Mine stick straight out upon exiting the shower, but pat dry, then apply, and continue combing the balm in for best effectiveness (in my opinion). Respect your beard, and it will be awesome.

My beard isn't particularly wirery, so I'm not sure that I am fully qualified to answer. However, given that my beard is about medium scruffy, the balm softened it down to a "soft scruff", if you will. I definitely wouldn't expect this product to work miracles. If you have relatively moderate expectations, you will not be disappointed. I'm sure it will soften up your mane, just not to unreal levels of softness.

If you are using it as a balm or conditioner like it is intended, you just use a bit less and massage it in. It doesn't have the consistency of a wax, so don't go into thinking it is a sculpting wax type product. It's a great conditioner, you just have to tailor the amount to your beard. It doesn't take much in the palm of your hand. for a fool beard, I use less than a "dime size".

I haven't had that problem. I have noticed it works a little better if you apply while your beard is damp.

This shaver is an intimate and body trimmer and not designed for the beard. I am using a Braun cruZer6 for beard and ears. Also, it can be used for head haircuts. The two together can let the gentleman care for just about all areas. The only thing missing is for us Neanderthals who have hair inside our ear canals that we need to conquer. Recommendation? Spring for this one and a beard trimmer.

About one days worth of whiskers for a heavy beard.. I hope that sufficiently answers your question. This product works extremely well.The price is super reasonable. It has worked as well or better than some other more expensive models I've had in the past

My beard is just getting curly on one side - and the balm does not seem to straight en it out. I like the product and it was working great with a shorter beard, but you may have to try a thicker product. I'm going to keep growing and see how it works out.

They would probably do a good enough job on his head but not for line work on his beard. They are too bulky for line work and do not get close enough. But they are great from trimming and have worked well for me. They could do line work if they had to but I prefer something smaller like a peanut to do that.

I have a full beard and I find that a little bit goes a long way. I use anywhere from a pea to a dime size and I find that it does the job all day.

it didnt even work for me so i really cant say much. the only thing i can say to you is DO NOT SHAVE YOUR FACIAL HAIR. it will just grow back thicker and fuller and cause you even more of a problem!

Yes....it works so great and can be adjusted.I used a screw driver to do that and tried it on my beard when done...very user friendly

My opinion as a guy who used to have a -close-to-the-face- beard: No. Beard maintenance is best accomplished with scissors. The outline/around the edges trimming can be done with the pop-up trimmer but even then I always followed it up with a blade.

Depending on the length of your beard.. I would STRONGLY advise against this trimmer.. Trims beard uneven... Don't buy.

Sure... I guess. It has a popout sideburn shaver like most electrics. You can use that on a beard, but it's not very comfortable.In terms of an official, adjustable length beard grooming attachment, no.

Juan, Please do not take offense to my answer. However, your beard could be too long and need to be cut down until you have stubbles of hair that can easily go into the holes of the foil to be cut down by the blades. So if you haven't trimmed you beard, please do that first. You could use a regular razor to cut your beard down and then use the electric shaver to cut down the stubble. To get the best results wet your beard with warm water and a liquid soap and then shave with electric razor. I get the best results when I'm taking a shower and let the water run constantly on my skin to allow the foil to float the surface of my face. Good Luck! Wayne

yes. depending on how thick your beard is will determine the amount you have to put on. I go through this stuff pretty fast. I recently got the gritty one and that goes a bit longer, but I use the conditioner and wax and love it all. the wife likes the smell and it really makes your beard soft.

I use it on my face (since I no longer have privacy here &..."you know"...) a couple of times a week without those blue guards.Though I use it when the hair starts to grow out of the skin so I don't know how it does on full-grown, hairy beards.

Depends on your DNA which determines your beard's hair pattern. I feel it is best to get your hair to stand up. Wash your face to remove oils and irritants, dry it completely, then shave moving the electric shaver in a method that shaves you best. Don't apply to much pressure, you will only wear out the screen. When you have your closest shave possible with the electric shaver if you're not satisfied, finish up with a standard blade shaver with the moisture strips on it. You can get a great or very close shave. I do the above in the shower including drying my face as it is more comfortable for me. You will also want to pull or manipulate your skin to help your hairs stand up. If you use shaving cream or even water while shaving with the electric shaver, you may not get as close of a shave, but it will be a more comfortable shave. Beard pattern dictates your shaving style. Additionally, your desire for a close shave determines how hard you will work at it. My wife really appreciates the close shave I get. Against the grain usually gives the best shave. In a half in area you could have hair growing in many different directions. When you're tired of fighting it with the electric break out the standard. I never use shaving cream period. Did I answer your question in a word or less?

It's too wide for that. Would likely be very painful. You would be better off with a small beard trimmer or individually tweezing by hand.
