ADAM HURLY
V76 BY VAUGHN BEARD
OIL
Size, sillage, and absorbency are
V76’s strengths. Its oil is double the
size of most competing products
(2 oz. vs 1, and at $19 it’s the best
deal of the lot), its blue cedar
scent lingers long and soothes the
senses, and lastly, it soaks into your
skin and facial hair quickly, so that
it doesn’t weigh you down, despite
its hefty bottle size and staying
power.

BEARD GROOMING TIPS TO OPTIMIZE YOUR BEARD
FIRST AND FOREMOST, BE
PATIENT A truly epic beard is
the product of self-restraint. When
you first start growing, resist the
urge to trim or style, and leave it
untouched for the first 4-6 weeks.
This will allow the hairs to grow in
evenly (some grow faster than oth-
ers), and help you pick a style that
suits its length and thickness.
FUEL UP You can’t build a house
without bricks, and the same
applies to facial hair. Your beard is
made from protein and fat, but it’s
also heavily reliant on Vitamins B5,
B3, and B9. That means lean meats,
nuts, egg yolks, milk, and plenty
of leafy greens. If you’re seriously
committed, you can also round
out your diet with a supplement
like Vitabeard.
ACQUA DI PARMA BEARD
SERUM
Great for big, bushy beards, this
beard oil serum soaks quickly into
the hairs and softens them, priming
everything for a detangling. Take a
beard comb and wade through the
beast, while you further distribute
the sweet almond and grapeseed
oils that give this lightweight po-
tion its potency.
