Before shaving you should wash your face using Face Wash to cleanse pores of excess oils, dirt and dead skin. After gently drying your face, applying Pre Shave Oil will help soften facial hair and nourish the skin ahead of applying your Shave Cream lather and beginning to work with your blade.
Your beard may be itchy for the first two weeks or even up to the first month and a half of growth. Primarily caused by a daily accumulation of dirt, dead skin cells and dehydration, the levels of discomfort endured can be a struggle - even a few day's worth of stubble can be enough to spur irritation. It's also important to remember that no matter how clean you keep newly grown facial hair, natural itchiness as part of your bearded initiation will occur, generally caused by new hair's capability of collecting rogue dirt.
It won't last forever however. Products such as Beard Moisturiser and Beard Oil can be used to combat this, but the main thing to remember is that the itchiness will eventually leave.
You realistically want to grow your beard for about three months before you can appreciate its true potential and the true fullness. Be sure to also read the Murdock Barbers' expert 3-step grooming guide , guaranteed to help treat immense levels of irritation. You will not only display a completely smooth, natural looking beard but also gain the nurturing benefits of both products. Different shapes suit different beards however and there are all kinds of charts that can help you look for realistic inspiration and facial comparisons.
Ideally though, you should pop in to your local Murdock barbershop and get some professional advice from one of our expert barbers. Even when your facial hair has reached a desired length there is much work to be done. The best course of action is to visit an expert barber and have them assess the required amount of trimming and shaping.
If your beard happens to be patchy in areas - don't worry, you can still work with this. Your barber will always be able to advise on the best options to take and also help reach those tricky areas.
From this point you can build a healthy relationship and continue to visit for frequent shorter trims to maintain a consistent style. A well-groomed beard is also second to none when further combed or brushed through - leaving no knots and a healthy shine.
From this point on, just enjoy your fine facial hair and the compliments that should come with it. We see some fantastic examples of well grown and maintained facial hair across the Murdock shops on a daily basis and want the rest of the world to see them too.

Our barbers are also always at hand to answer any grooming questions that you may have. The balm conditions the skin while the oil acts to enhance shine and lock in moisture. Maybe more than a little. And you want to do something memorable with it. But first, know the landscape on which you are carving your design.
A round face, for instance, looks a little silly with a long, point beard ice-cream cone? For first-timers, advises Hall, stick with a simple oval shape that looks good on almost everyone and is hard to mess up.
Define your cheek line by trimming as high as possible for a clean and crisp look. But if you love it, now you need to decide what it will look like for the long haul. Coarse and curly are going to require different maintenance than naturally straight or wavy hair. Fuller beards require the least amount of maintenance, but it can take up to four months to reach this status, says Hall.
Want the full look without the wait? Trimming the longer parts down will help reduce the appearance of a patchy beard as the slower growth areas catch up. Early-stage trimming is easy: pick a clipper and guard length and go. Same setting all the way around. You can start shaping more as your beard transitions from stubble to a fuller beard.
Wash your face and stubble every day with a specialized face and beard cleanser. Once your stubble transitions into beard length, wash your beard with a beard cleanser once or twice a week. This prevents your beard from becoming overly dry. This is, of course, situationally dependent. If you have a dirty job or sweat a lot, you just might have to wash every day to maintain proper hygiene. The majority of beard-related problems, including itch and dandruff, are easily remedied with proper hydration.
Our daily moisturizer was designed for that very purpose. While beard oils are wonderful for softening longer beards, a specially designed moisturizer treats skin conditions that beard oils simply cannot address. For extra oomph, apply beard oil after moisturizing. Every man is unique, and so are our beards. Be confident in who you are and the beard you grow.
