If your boyfriend\/husband\/other half\/cohabitant\/soulmate\/friend-with-benefits has joined the not-so-hipster bandwagon and grown a beard over the summer then we have the ultimate read for you. Allow us to present: \u2018The girl\u2019s go to guide to first time beards.\u2019<\/p>\n

Firstly, Seek Help. <\/strong><\/em>Although your man may think he instinctively knows how to groom his new beard. He doesn\u2019t. Once it gets past the heavy stubble stage, book him into see a barber, who can advise him on the best shape for his bone structure. Murdock London have a brilliant salon in Hackett, Sloane Street, where he can pick up a couple of shirts at the same time. A beard shape with the Master Barber costs just \u00a335. He will be in safe hands. <\/p>\n

In the initial growth stages avoid beard oil.<\/em><\/strong> It may be tempting to splash out on fancy beard oil for your man but hold your horses\u2026.

You Can Use Beard Oil if<\/strong><\/em>\u2026 your man has naturally very coarse or wiry facial hair or if the beard is a little longer.
