Only a few weeks ago was National Beard Week – the perfect excuse to celebrate those fuzzy-faced fellas we all know and love.
Having a beard is big business these days and the beard care industry has exploded with options for every kind, length, shape and style of beard. If you’re looking for a gift for the beardy one in your life, look no further. Just identify his “beard style” below – and get shopping!
The beard: Trimmed and neat, with just an edge of unruliness. The guy: Wild in his youth, he now secretly prefers watching gigs on TV with a cup of tea. The range: Rehab London The funky packaging and manly scents will appeal to his wild side, but the all botanical ingredients and paraben-free formulations reflect his soft centre. We recommend the Argan Oil Shaving Gel for taming those stray beard hairs – it’s clear, so supports sculpting, and is pretty refreshing too. The beard: Clean cut and polished, this beard is the most socially acceptable of all and is never allowed to wild and free. The guy: He’s a modern man who likes the finer things in life, and always takes care of his skin. In fact, you’re sure you’ve seen him eyeing up your products more than once. The range: L’Occitane Cade Collection Sophisticated, luxurious and intense, the owner of the “barely there beard” will love the traditional packaging and earthy scents of this range. This is a guy who keeps that beard in check, so the Cade Shaving Cream and After Shave Balm will go down well. The beard: Majestic, retro and bushy yet always combed and tidy. The guy: He’s seriously into his beard, so much so that it often becomes dinner party conversation. He loves the aesthetic of the “English gent”. The range: Percy Nobleman. A brand dedicated to beard and moustache products, your Distinguished Gentleman will love the traditional yet fun-loving ethos of Percy Nobleman. The Ultimate Grooming Box contains everything he’ll need to keep his beard game strong, and makes the perfect gift. The Beard: Let’s just say that you haven’t seen his chin in a very, very long time. His beard is probably longer than your hair. The guy: Outdoorsy, this guy loves the simple life and doesn’t care much for material belongings. He probably lives in a log cabin in the wilderness and chops wood all day (or wishes he did). The range: The Beard Shed. This independent brand celebrates the most wild and wonderful of beards and encourages them to grow wild and free. Whether you’re looking for a balm, oil, wash or comb, there’s loads of different brands to choose from.
