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

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

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.

For the most part, we live in a straight-hair world. Personally, this has never been an issue for me — while I am follicly challenged, my hair has always been reasonably well-behaved. The occasional stray curl pops up at the end of a strand when I grow it out, but I never faced the challenges that men with curls often have to confront.
These challenges can feel formidable. Curls can be unruly and hard to tame, and that might seem like a limitation. But the reality is very much the opposite — there are plenty of great-looking choices, provided you know what you want, get a great barber or stylist, and arm yourself with a little knowledge.
