Soothe Your Bristles With The Art of Shaving Beard and Stubble Kit

Bryan Holt
By

To put it simply, we would recommend anything of The Art of Shaving’s effective grooming products for men. However, some of our favorites from the storied New York-based grooming gurus usually come in the form of a diligently designed formula that caters to a specific need. The Art of Shaving Beard and Stubble Kit meticulously softens stubble and maintains healthy growth, leaving your beard refreshed and ready for the world.

A beard grooming routine is dependent on many factors. From seasonal changes and special occasions, to your beard’s overall length and attitude, your routine will ultimately depend on a mix of things, coupled with end result you want. On the other hand, maintaining stubble is something that can be accomplished with just a handful of help.

We’ve touched on how to grow and maintain stubble in the past, but even with bountiful beard oil, stubble is one of those things that can still be difficult to keep feeling the way you want it to. The Art of Shaving Beard and Stubble Kit features a simple trifecta of products that will keep your bristles soft and your face feeling happy.

The kit features a heap of high-quality essential oils, including jojoba seed to soften coarse hair, peppermint for a stimulating scent and added brightness, and olive oil to lend a hand on keeping your stubble soothed and moisturized.

The Art of Shaving Stubble Balm

When stubble becomes coarse and hard, it’s an uncomfortable feeling that can linger throughout the day and get in the way of your grind. The Art of Shaving’s new Stubble Balm softens and hydrates fresh stubble with a conditioning blend of glycerin and sandalwood essential oil. In fact, this is one of our new favorite products that we recommend everyone adds to their grooming regimen.

The Art of Shaving Peppermint Beard Wash

Peppermint Beard Wash

Beard wash is an essential component to keeping stubble soft, clean, and refreshed. This formula features an invigorating blend of peppermint, jojoba, and eucalyptus essential oils, among others, to help strip your skin of excess oils and dirt while also retaining just the right amount of moisture and shine. The Art of Shaving Beard Wash is also effective with longer beard lengths.

The Art of Shaving Peppermint Beard Conditioner

Peppermint Beard Conditioner

Much like the hair on your head, if you’re going to wash your beard, you’ll want to follow that up with a cleansing beard conditioner. This conditioner features the same hydrating essential oils as the beard wash, but the addition of extra jojoba seed and castor oil is what really makes this blend the nourishing numen you need.

You can buy The Art of Shaving Beard and Stubble Kit at a discounted bundle price, or opt to pick up one of the aforementioned products solo. However, the products do work better together.

Beard Straighteners Are a Thing. Here’s Why You Might Want One

Humans have been straightening their hair since someone (presumably) accidentally realized the application of heat to a wavy mop-top results in smooth strands that stay in place. Humans have also been curling their hair — even their beards — since they realized the inverse could be achieved, too. Don't believe us? Please see contemporary statues, imagery, and art of the ancient Sumerians, Persians, and Greeks (who curled their beards into ringlets with some of the earliest tongs). Changes your perception of 300 doesn't it?

Given man's above-cited love of peacocking, combined with our modern-day affinity for full, luscious beards, it's no surprise that there exists a device designed to straighten men's beard hair. The Kuschelbar, by Masc by Jeff Chastain, is just that, with the added benefit of being able to straighten the hair on your head, too (if you so desire, that is).
