Bearded Oregon Creates Scents Inspired by the State’s Major Cities

As much as the state of Oregon is known for natural beauty, great food, and obscene donuts, there are also a lot of guys walking around with beards.

And not just beards, but well-formed, bushy bundles of facial hair designated for greatness.

Social media entrepreneur Aaron Naden dove in fuzz first when he took over the Bearded Oregon Instagram account last year. He found himself at the helm of the chapter’s annual Beard Battle this past January.

“We offered beard oil prizing to the winner that kept getting delayed and delayed, so I thought: ‘Why can’t I create my own products?’” he says.

After some research and development, he founded Bearded Oregon, launching several scents named after (and smelling like) various cities around the state.

Naden says he didn’t want to focus so much on manliness, like other products on the market, but rather the individual sources and ingredients that make “The Beaver State” such a robust destination.

He started with four cities: Portland, Bend, Salem, and Grants Pass – each offering a different perspective of life in Oregon.

Portland’s oil is scented with tea leaves from city institution Tea Chai Té (although they’re not named as an official partner). Bend’s is made with local pale ale, Grants Pass’ with coffee grounds & coconut, and Salem’s with local Pinot Noir.

The company had a great holiday season, selling at a few maker shows and even releasing a limited run version using pumpkin from Corvallis (home to Oregon State University and some of the Valley’s best produce).

“Guys were picking it up, but ladies were buying it too as gifts for their guys,” he noted.

Although Naden hasn’t made Bearded Oregon his full-time career yet, he is working on two new scents slated for release later this year. He’ll pay homage to Hermiston’s famous watermelons with a similar scent infused with mint. Additionally, he’s working on a root beer scent that he thinks will appeal to California buyers who have made the move north.

Bearded Oregon products are available up and down the I-5 corridor in Oregon, but if you’re outside the state, they’re also available at their website.

The new Manscaped Chairman Pro electric foil shaver is only $150 right now
Manscaped Chairman Pro electric foil shaver in hand

You're hairy. Or, maybe you have stubbles and you're not that hairy. Whatever the case, you're going to need to trim the hair at some point. Manscape's newly-launched Chairman Pro electric foil shaver is the best answer for that -- at least in my opinion. Why? Two, interchangeable skin safe and easy-glide blade heads form the core of the system, with a four-blade foil. It's gentle on the neck area, helps reduce razor burn and irritation, but effective at slicing those hairs. You get a clean shave, no discomfort, and you look your best. But the biggest draw, at least here and now before the holidays, is that it's only $150, normally $160. No, that's not a huge discount but this is a new device and that's a great price already.

Why shop for the Chairman Pro electric foil shaver from Manscaped?

Let's start with the fact that you need your hair trimmed, probably on your face. The Chairman Pro is built to stroke your chin, gently, but trim the hairs with accuracy. That's thanks to two interchangeable blade heads. But it also has a SkinSafe four-blade foil and SkinSafe stubble trimmer. It's waterproof, with a precision lock, and can last for up to 75 minutes per charge. That's a lot of shaving time and I'd venture to guess you can use it more than once, quite a few times actually, before you need to plug it in to charge it again.
