How often should I wash my beard?
We’re so, so sorry. We needed a header image, and Shopkeep Joey was around. Making that face.
This is one of the most common questions we get on beard care, and as with most of the answers to other beard-related questions, the answer is a rousing, “it depends.”
Like the hair on your head, your skin and the oils it produces are designed by your body to be the main method of both cleansing and conditioning your follicles. Beard hair tend to be heftier than the hair on your head, and as such it usually needs more moisture and less washing than head hair. But how often heavily depends on your specific situation.

We opened Beardsgaard in September of 2014 with but a few product lines on our shelves. We grew our offerings organically, ordering up at every opportunity, but from the early days, we had a burning desire to create products that fit our exact specifications.
And so, in September of 2015, River Peak Apothecary was born, with a litter of five beard oils. Now, what was a good-smelling lump of raw ore has been polished until it shines.
See the new face of the Apothecary.

We have a confession to make.
When we first began this barbershop, we messed up a bit on pricing our shave services. Beardsmith and Blademaiden were the only two barbers here in the beginning, and perhaps it was our enthusiasm for shaving that led us to price shaves to move, as it were. Back in 2014 we were charging a mere $20 for a full 45-minute straight razor shave. After a year of being booked solid we bumped it to $25.
Now on March 1st, 2017, we move on to a new era of pampering and service.

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!

While we believe beards of all shapes and sizes are awesome, length is the end all be all goal for a lot of dudes. When it comes to potential beard length, there are two schools of belief:
So which is it? Not to burst any bubbles, but it’s not the first one. And the second one comes with a slew of caveats. Let’s talk terminal. And science.
