Beard Paw: The New Beard Care Product You Didn’t Know You Needed

Beards. Leonardo Da Vinci had one. So did Abraham Lincoln. Karl Marx and Ernest Hemingway had beards too. As did such fictional men/wizards as Gandalf and Dumbledore.

And likewise, so do many of you. But unlike our bearded forebears (fictional or not), we have specially made beard care products helping us with the maintenance and upkeep of our beards. This means regular washing, oiling, and trimming to keep our beards refined and well-styled. A bushy, ungroomed patch of fur on your face doesn’t exactly scream attractive or inspire much confidence. And it’s no better when covered in a just-completed meal, beer foam, smoke, or sweat and oil from a recent workout. In fact, a dirty, unkempt beard is a big red flag, warning others that you’re maybe just a little bit incompetent and also maybe a little bit uncouth. Don’t take our word for it though, just ask Roald Dahl.

But, short of washing your entire face–beard and all–there hasn’t really been an easy, quick, and thorough way to
cleanse just your facial hair.

Until now.

Behold, bearded brethren! The answer is here and it is known as Beard Paw.

Whether you are out at a restaurant chowing down on saucy ribs or pumping iron at the gym, Beard Paw, a cleansing beard wipe designed to clean your beard without water, will tackle any leftover bits of food or sauce stuck in your whiskers, along with any smells that came with it.
Made from 100 percent cotton pads that won’t leave sticky little white fibers in your beard, a few thorough swipes of the wipe and you’ll feel refreshed and ready to take on any task knowing your face won’t betray you with a rogue poppy seed or scandal-inducing sauce stain. Other ingredients include, “a mild soap for cleansing, Grapeseed and Aloe oils to condition the hair and skin, and finally a cool blast of Cedar and Eucalyptus,” that, according to Beard Paw, “leaves you feeling like your beard just took a dip in a mountain stream,” and our testers concur. Beard Paw can be used on any type of facial hair, from stubble to soul patch, it can take on any hair you haven’t taken off. And for all you clean-shaven guys out there, Beard Paw also works well as a quick and easy facial wipe, de-greasing your mug without drying it out.beard care product, beard paw

Each Beard Paw wipe comes in its own individual package, allowing you to toss a few in your briefcase or gym bag and go. A starter pack of 12 retails for $9, but with a membership you can get a 20-pack for only $11, which is a significant savings. If you wanted to pinch even more pennies, you could opt for the 64-pack option and pay only $20/month, but this option is probably more dependent on how messy of an eater you are or how often you smoke than anything else. No matter the mess (be it big or small), Beard Paw is here to save your whiskers from anything that might foul your facial hair

Dean Bell hits the road and talks men’s grooming
Hacks for the road from a celeb discovering skincare
Adult, Male, Man

Dean Bell is a guy many people know from The Bachelor and The Bachelor in Paradise. He has since updated his image as an influencer searching for adventure. That search has led him to partner with Chevron this summer in celebration of the country's 250th birthday. In addition to helping many drivers keep their engines in top shape this summer with his support of the gas, he is teaching us something he is adopting this season: Men's grooming and skincare. As he gets a little older, he is figuring out, with the help of his wife (like most of us), the importance of taking care of his skin. But how is he doing that on the road this year? And how can we learn from his experience?

That's what grooming is at the end of the day when it comes to skincare. You are basically keeping to your skin as youthful as you possibly can. - Dean Bell

Grooming is on its biggest stage with World Cup 2026
Unilever launched its largest activation focusing on grooming at the biggest sports event happening right now
Ball, Football, Soccer

We don't talk enough about men's grooming. Skincare, haircare, nails, and teeth are all important for your personal appearance and overall health. Typically, we tend to put it on the back burner while we focus our time on things with a more measurable return on time investment. Sure, we used to get away with this because guys like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Paul Newman were regarded as examples of the rugged male aesthetic that didn't need the attention to moisturizing and conditioning. Nowadays, though, men like George Clooney and Brad Pitt are seen as sex symbols deep into their sixties, and it is largely thanks to skincare. Recently, if you have been watching the World Cup, you may have noticed a focus on the grooming marketing. That is because Unilever has launched its largest activation ever with a sponsorship of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ will be the most socially connected and inclusive tournament in our history. Football today lives in real time, in culture and on social platforms – and this tournament is designed to be experienced, shaped and shared by fans wherever they are. - Romy Gai, Chief Business Officer, FIFA

Your dad’s favorite gift may be smelling good
Olfactory NYC let's you build your own fragrance
Bottle, Cosmetics, Perfume

As Father's Day sneaks up on you (hopefully it isn't sneaking up on you since we have been putting Father's Day gift guides and articles with ideas for a few weeks here), there is a tendency to go for the old faithfuls dads seem to have always gotten. Ties. Mugs. Tools. And, of course, the always classic Old Spice cologne. The same cologne his dad got. The same cologne his grandfather got when your dad couldn't figure out what to get him. It is time to do something different. Sure, a man wants to smell good, and buying him a cologne is a great gift. But you can do it the regular way, or you can go above and beyond by letting him make his own choices (I'm not talking about a gift card). Olfactory NYC is the kind of gift your dad is looking for this year.

A deeply personal experience
