Beardsgaard has been proud to stock some exceptional local beard brands from the beginning – in fact, Chris from Merlin’s Beard arrived at our door the second day we were open.
Ryan from Midwest Beard & Moustache Company found us because he was the guy sent out to apply our window vinyl correctly, and he just happened to be a maker as well.
Both were fanatical researchers with a keen attention to detail, and their blends blew us away right out of the gate.
Due to limited shelf space, we are incredibly choosy with the brands we bring on (and in fact have to turn down the majority of the products presented to us), but MBMC has continued to earn our admiration through upgrades in branding (a pretty face never hurts), and stellar new products. Just take a look at the new wonders that just arrived!
Larger Beard Oil Sizes
Some folks enjoyed the fact that MBMC beard oils came in small, 1/2 oz bottles, but even more wanted, well, more! And Ryan has obliged, introducing 1 oz sizes for your beardy pleasure. Because of that aforementioned limited shelf space, we no longer carry the small sizes. All the more to love. Find them all here.
Pre-Shave Oil
As regular razor wielders, we are connoisseurs of shave oils, and let us tell you, this new addition to the lineup knocks it out of the park. Parts of the formula absorb to soften your skin and whiskers, while other parts stand firm as a barrier against the blade. This one is unscented, so it pairs perfectly with any shave soap or aftershave. Get yours here.
Aftershave Balms
Aftershaves have changed a lot over the years from the hot sauce of your grandpa’s day. Although the burn is weirdly comforting to some, it isn’t required for an aftershave to do its job. This one from local brand Midwest Beard & Moustache Company kills beastlies with witch hazel and Bentonite Clay, and its soft balm consistency makes your post-shave face feel like it’s been dipped in a vat of soothing, moisture-rich relief. Find your face’s new best friend here.
