The Beard Baron

“When in doubt, grow it out.”

If you’ve been around The Beard Baron for a while, you’ve probably heard me say this more than once.

Growing a great beard takes patience. So does deciding what to do with it.

Some of the biggest beard regrets come from making a change in the moment. A trim turns into a bigger trim. A frustrating beard day turns into reaching for the clippers. And suddenly a few months of growth are on the bathroom floor.

There’s nothing wrong with changing your style or starting fresh. Just make sure you actually want to.

The beard will still be there tomorrow. The clippers can wait.

When in doubt, grow it out.

Fireside weather is getting closer🔥

Those first cooler nights at the end of summer always have me reaching for this one again. Fireside has been part of The Beard Baron since 2014 and all these years later, it’s still our #1 best-selling scent.

The blend of fir, balsam, bergamot, sandalwood and patchouli gives it that unmistakable outdoorsy character. It’s woodsy and warm, but there’s a freshness to it that keeps it from feeling too heavy.

I’ve always loved how well this one fits an evening outside, especially when there’s an actual fire involved. More than a decade of Fireside and I’m still reaching for it. 🔥

If you have a longer beard, there are a few things worth keeping in mind around a campfire.

Beyond being cautious around an open flame, smoke and particles from the fire can settle into your beard throughout the night. A proper wash afterward followed by fresh beard oil can help get your beard feeling clean and comfortable again.

A little beard safety and beard care goes a long way. Enjoy the fire and protect the beard. 🔥

Fireside has been here since the beginning.

I created Fireside back in 2014, during the very first year of The Beard Baron. More than a decade later, it has traveled around the world and become the #1 best-selling scent we’ve ever made.

I think part of that comes down to how familiar it feels. There’s something about Fireside that brings you back to cool evenings, time spent outdoors and sitting around a fire with good company.

Twelve years later, I still enjoy wearing it just as much as I did when we first made it. If you’ve worn Fireside over the years, I’d love to know how long it’s been part of your beard.

There are certain scents I find myself reaching for as we move through the heart of summer and into those late-summer evenings around a fire. Fireside is one of them.

It’s been part of The Beard Baron since 2014 and after all these years, it remains our #1 best seller. So it felt like the right scent to kick off August.

This weekend, the entire Fireside Collection is 20% OFF. If it’s already one of your favorites, it’s a good time to restock. If you’ve somehow never tried it, there may not be a better time to see what all the fuss is about.

Every Beard Baron scent has a story. Wildwood is where ours began.

Introduced in 2014, it was the very first scent I ever created. Inspired by countless days spent in the woods as an Eagle Scout and outdoorsman, Wildwood blends cedarwood, pine, fir and eucalyptus into a scent that still feels just as timeless today as it did over a decade ago.

If you’re looking for a fresh, woodsy beard oil that never goes out of style, start with the one that started it all.

Most beards grow about half an inch each month.

It’s not an overnight process, but here’s a little encouragement: summer may actually give your beard a slight advantage. Warmer weather can increase circulation, which may help support a faster rate of growth for some men.

No matter the season, the biggest difference comes from consistency. Keep taking care of your beard, trust the process and give it the time it deserves.

Do you rock a beard in the summer? Let me know below!

Beard itch is incredibly common, especially during those first few weeks. The good news is that it’s usually temporary and, with the right routine, completely manageable.

The more you understand what’s happening beneath your beard, the more confident you’ll become throughout your journey.

A comfortable beard is a beard you’ll actually enjoy growing.
